Background:Commission approved the original Contract with Ten-8 on

Manufacturing , Inc. is outlined in the attached Exhibit "1".
Analysis:Augusta Fire Department received the revisions and have no
objections to the requested changes. The revised Contract was sent
to legal for review and state changes proposed by Pierce are
acceptable. In order to move forward with the purchase of six (6)
pumpers from Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. it will be necessary to
approve the changes to the Contract.
Financial Impact:None as the original Contract was approved by Commission on
February 21, 2017 and the modifications to the contact will have
no financial impact on Augusta.
