Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue purchase orders to Finley Fire Equipment Company for fire fighting equipment and supplies such as portable foam packs, nozzles, and foam.

The Division of Fire was awarded an Assistance to Firefighters Grant from FEMA in August of 2010. The Division of Fire has been approved to purchase firefighting foam systems, nozzles, and foam via this grant award; these purchases will allow the Fire Division to standardize nozzles across all 34 engine companies and replace outdated hoses with new technology. This grant requires an 80/20 percent split between the grant funding and the capital match funding sources as detailed in Ordinance 0709-2011.

Bid Information: Bid solicitations SA003898 and SA003899 were opened on April 14, 2011 for firefighting nozzles and portable foam systems, respectively. Finley Fire Equipment Company submitted the sole bid for these solicitations.

Sole Source provisions are being utilized for the purchase of foam, as Finley Fire Equipment Company is the only authorized distributor in the region for the purchase of the specified foam.

Contract Compliance: Finley Fire Equipment Company 310816583 exp 2/3/2013

Emergency Designation: Emergency action is requested as funds are needed immediately to ensure prompt acquisition of the aforementioned equipment in accordance with the grant expiration deadline.
