Title
Interlocal Contract with Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) for Purchase of a Fire Pumper
Details: The Camas-Washougal Fire Department is preparing to purchase a new fire pumper to replace aging apparatus that have become too expensive and outdated to operate. H-GAC is a governmental organization that Washington cities such as Seattle, Bellevue and Anacortes use to purchase city vehicles. The process is similar to "piggybacking" on another agency's bid. Signing a contract with H-GAC will allow staff to buy the City's new fire pumper in a more expedient manner for less cost than would be available through other methods.
