Hey everyone,
I just came across this post from the Lemont Fire Protection District's Facebook page. They're putting out a request for sealed bids to purchase a surplus water tender. Here’s what they’ve shared:

**REQUEST FOR SEALED BID FOR PURCHASE OF SURPLUS WATER TENDER**
We’re inviting you to submit a sealed bid proposal to buy a surplus water tender. This vehicle has quite the history—it was purchased brand new by the Lemont Fire Protection District back in 1998. The original stainless-steel water tank, which dates back to a 1986 water tender, was remounted onto the current chassis the same year. It’s been fully operational ever since and is now being replaced by a newer model. Despite its age, this water tender is still in fantastic condition, boasting just 29,950 miles and 3,520 engine hours. Throughout its service, it’s been maintained regularly by an in-house mechanic. In fact, the fire pump was even replaced in 2017. Before the sale, all Lemont Fire District graphics will be removed, and any additional equipment will also be taken off. We’ll provide the buyer with all the service records.
Here are some key specifications:
- **Cab:** 2-person
- **Engine:** International 530E, 300 horsepower
- **Transmission:** Allison Model 3060/4000
- **Tank:** 1986 3,200-gallon Walker stainless-steel tank
- **Fire Pump:** 300 gallons per minute, 18-horsepower gas-powered Waterous
Now for the bidding process:
- **Submission Method:** Bids can be submitted via regular mail or in person. They will *not* be accepted through fax, email, phone, or text.
- **Deadline:** Bids will be accepted until 9:00 a.m. on Friday, June 9, 2023.
- **Opening Date:** Sealed bids will be opened at 9:00 a.m. on the same day, at Lemont Fire Protection District, located at 15900 New Avenue, Lemont, IL 60439.
If you’re interested in viewing the water tender, it can be inspected by appointment only at the Lemont Fire Station, also located at 15900 New Avenue. To schedule a viewing, reach out to Deputy Chief Matt Peksa at (708) 243-7652.
