RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Allstar Fire Equipment, Inc. for the purchase of
fire helmets, based on the Orange County Fire Authority's contract, In
an annual amount not to exceed $55,000.
DISCUSSION
In an effort to protect fire suppression personnel in the performance
of their duty, the Fire Department Maintenance Section provides fire
helmets for head protection. The California Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (CalOSHA) and National Fire Protection Agency
(NFPA) mandate minimum standards for head protection. In compliance
with the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) requirements of five-
year service life, the Fire Department has established a replacement
schedule. The majority of the fire helmets in current use is scheduled
for replacement, or requires replacement due to exterior shell damage
and deterioration of the internal skull components.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase
against contracts from any public agency utilizing a competitive bid
process. The Orange County Fire Authority contract with Allstar Fire
Equipment, Inc. for fire helmets was awarded as a result of open,
competitive bidding, and meets the City's requirements.
