Explanation
Background: This legislation authorizes the extension of the Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Universal Term Contact (UTC) by amending Ordinance 1754-2016 passed July 15, 2016. That ordinance originally authorized the award and waived the relevant provision of Chapter 329 relating to competitive bidding (Solicitation SA005773).
Ordinance 1754-2016 authorized the award to Scott Safety for the Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Universal Term Contact (UTC) for the Division of Fire. It was later discovered the original ordinance allowed an extension within the Background section of the ordinance; however, this was not included in the “Be It Ordained” section. It has therefore been determined that it is in the City’s best interest to amend Ordinance 1754-2016 and extend the contract with Scott Safety for the option to purchase Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) and related items up to and including March 30, 2019, at the same terms and conditions of Contract# PO019673, as agreed by both parties.
A contract modification is needed to extend the contract through March 30, 2019 to purchase self-contained breathing apparatus and parts for the Department of Public Safety to provide respiratory protective devices and necessary repair parts worn by firefighters.
Emergency Designation: The Finance and Management Department respectfully requests this legislation to be considered an emergency due to the importance of these commodities and to ensure there are no delays in the procurement process.
This company is 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 finding for recovery certified search.
Fiscal Impact: No funding is required to modify and extend the contract. Public Safety must set aside funding in the Division of Fire for the estimated expenditures.
