The Town of Guilderland seeks proposals to purchase a used Type I ambulance. It would replace the Town’s unreliable 2007 Type I bariatric ambulance, which has required frequent repairs and may need a major engine rebuild or replacement. The Town says a used ambulance matching its fleet configuration would be more economical and faster to acquire than a new one, for which lead times are stated as 12 to 30 months.
