RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to L. N. Curtis & Sons for the purchase of fire hose for a
one-year period with provision for three one-year renewals in an annual
amount not to exceed $28,500; and increase the aggregate limit for
miscellaneous supplies for the Fire Department in an amount not to exceed
$25,000 annually.
DISCUSSION
The Fire Department has established an ongoing replacement program for fire
hose at a rate of one engine load per year. The replaced fire hose is used
on reserve fire apparatus or stored for unexpected emergencies.
In 2006, through extensive field use testing, the Fire Department updated
its hose specifications for quality and reliability. In the subsequent two
solicitations for bid in 2006 and 2007, the recommended vendor has been the
only responsive bidder.
Addi tionally, L. N. Curtis & Sons provides miscellaneous fire equipment
maintenance supplies and turnout garments for the Fire Department. The
purchase of fire hose, when added to the vendor's fiscal purchases, will
exceed the $25,000 aggregate limit. In order to facilitate future
purchases, staff recommends an increase to the aggregate limit.
