The current estimated repair cost is $170,000 and up.<\/p>\n
The current estimated replacement cost is $900,000.<\/p>\n
The report says, in August this year there was a cylinder fluid leak related to the ladder and platform basket.\u00a0 The repairs were incomplete, due to damage caused during ladder testing.<\/p>\n
In September this year, Grummen transported to Emergency Apparatus Maintenance in Lino Lakes, with estimated cost of parts, not labor or additional transportation costs, to repair the damage is $170,000.<\/p>\n
Remaining repairs and basket, means the truck is out of commission for six months or more\u2026after repairs begin.\u00a0 The companies are waiting for instructions.<\/p>\n
The State of North Dakota purchased the Aerial Catt Fire Truck in 1984, to be used by the Jamestown Fire Department, because it was needed at the state hospital compound.<\/p>\n
In 2009 repairs to the Grummen totaled over $50,000, primarily because the vehicle was not used regularly and the seals were cracking from non-use.<\/p>\n
In 2014 JFD began responding to calls other than the state hospital.\u00a0 Structure fire calls require the Grummen.<\/p>\n
Minor repairs on the cylinders have been performed annually, from 2015 to 2019.<\/p>\n
