John Spriet has asked that the Municipality of Bayham confirm that they are in agreement with
the width of the proposed panel bridge that will replace the existing steel truss bridge on Edison
Drive in Vienna.
The existing Vienna Bridge has a clearance width of approximately 5.12 metres (16 ft. 10 in.),
as well as significant height restrictions.
The proposed new prefabricated panel bridge will have an approximate clearance width of 5.62
metres (18 ft. 5 in.), which is a width increase of 0.53 metres (1.74 ft.). As well, the new bridge
has no vertical height restrictions. The proposed clearance width is similar to the width of the
existing Clarke Road panel bridge in Bayham.
Please confirm that the width of the proposed bridge is acceptable for all Bayham emergency
and road maintenance vehicles.
Thank you.

REPORT
- FIRE DEPARTMENT
TO: Mayor & Members of Council
FROM: Randy White, Fire Chief/By-law Officer
DATE: January 7, 2016
REPORT: FR-01/16 FILE NO. C07
SUBJECT: AUTOEXTRICATION TOOLS
BACKGROUND:
A long term plan has been in effect within Bayham Fire Services to continually evaluate new
tools and techniques for the various rescue capabilities currently in place. As part of this
strategy, a capital purchase project budget was planned some years ago for implementing new
capabilities as well as ensuring all current tools were up date and in a suitable condition for
emergency deployment. The capital budget was approved for 2016 as FD-3 Extrication
Hydraulics - $50,000.
DISCUSSION:
After assessing the hydraulic rescue tools currently in use, it was determined that they are still in
good shape and do not need replacement. With proper maintenance, the tools should remain in
service for 10+ years. All current extrication tools are powered by a gas engine driven hydraulic
pump and connected via hoses. A battery powered version is being procured to allow for
functionality the existing tools cannot meet including remote extrication scenarios such as
industrial rescues and ravine extrications, as well as forcible entry, and firefighter Rapid
Intervention Teams (RIT). Bayham has evaluated three vendors, TNT, Holmatro, and Hurst,
with the latter two companies bringing demo units to Bayham for hands on extrication drills. We
also followed a rather extensive evaluation performed by the Tillsonburg Fire Department. In
both cases, the Hurst tool has been determined to be the most effective unit. We have an
opportunity to purchase a demonstration unit at a savings of$3000 off the regular price of
$16,995.
RECOMMENDATION
1. THAT Report FR-01/16 be received for information;
. AND THAT Council authorize a sole-source procurement method from Hurst in the
amount of$13,995 + HST as part of the FD-3 Capital Project.
Respectfully Submitted by:
