Background: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into an agreement for the option to establish two (2) UTC contracts for Structural Firefighter Protective Gloves for the Division of Fire.

The Purchasing Office opened formal bids on September 29, 2016.
The Purchasing Office advertised and solicited competitive bids in accordance with the competitive bid section of the City Code (Solicitation RFQ002874). Two (2) bids were received.

The Fire House: CC004508; Item 2; $1.00
Total Estimated Annual Expenditure: $40,000.00.
These companies are not debarred according to the Excluded Party Listing System of the Federal Government or prohibited from being awarded a contract according to the Auditor of State Unresolved Findings for Recovery Certified Search.
