RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends Council adopt Resolution No. 48 -23 0 , awarding the contract fo
furnishing protective clothing for structural fire fighting for the period July 15, 199;
through July 14, 1999, with the option to renew the contract for three (3) additional onc
(1) year periods to L N Curtis & Sons.
ITEM EXPLANATION
The City of Carlsbad has been the lead agency in the cooperative bids for firefighter
protective clothing for several years. Based on responses to a questionnaire from 2
participating agencies, it is estimated that more than 400 sets of garments will k
purchased from this contract. The anticipated orders would result in purchases
excess of $320,000. Each individual public agency will place their respective order(!
with the vendor.
The San Diego County Fire Equipment Committee conducted three months of testir
samples supplied by four manufacturers of protective garments. After reviewing eac
garment's design and features, new specifications were developed. The specificatior
were sent to the manufacturers for review and comments in order to determine whethc
they would be able to submit a responsive bid. One vendor, L. N. Curtis & Son
indicated they would be able to build garments to the specifications. All other vendc
who responded took exceptions to several items which would have an impact on tl
safety and functionality of the garment.
In accordance with Section 3.28.090 of the Municipal Code when a commodity can I
obtained from only one vendor, bidding was not required and Staff negotiated direc
with L. N. Curtis & Sons.
I FISCAL IMPACT
The City of Carlsbad's Fire Department anticipates spending approximately $8000 i
these garments next fiscal year. Funds will be available in the Fire Department's Fi
Suppression Special Supplies Account.
