Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue a purchase order for Sensit P-400 multi gas monitors and related equipment for the Division of Fire from the existing Universal Term Contract established by the Purchasing Office with Kenco Fire Equipment. This purchase will replace the entire inventory of existing gas monitors used by Fire Division personnel deployed on engines, ladders and rescues; the current gas monitors have been in use for approximately 10 years, and have subsequently been discontinued and are in immediate need of replacement. These monitors detect and warn of various poisonous gases that may be present on emergency scenes, providing CFD personnel with a valuable and potentially life-saving tool when responding to daily emergencies.
Bid Information: A Universal Term Contract exists with Kenco Fire Equipment for these purchases; FL005771 expires 03/31/16.
