Pay Me Now ….. Or Pay Me Later

FAYETTE COUNTY, GEORGIA, DECIDED TO meet the economic downturn by not replacing three of their four 10-yr.-old ambulances.  Their original schedule had called for buying three new ambulances, one this fiscal year and two more in FY2010.  Earlier this year the County Commission approved $156,000 to purchase one vehicle, but they decided to hold off on the other three.

Those plans have now changed as the old vehicles are reaching a point of non-performance.  They are breaking down constantly and causing a drain on the fiscal resources anyway, so the commission voted 4-0 last week to solicit proposals to replace the other three.

The Fayette County News has the STORY.

    Does the box part of the Ambulance wear out? Couldn't you just buy a new “truck” part and move the box over? $150k seems really expensive… A brand spankin' new diesel F-450 chassis cab is only $45k.
