| | | | | | | | Agenda Title:
Council action is requested to issue a purchase order for $168,430.25 with Equipment Management Company for multiple extrication rescue equipment for the Fire Department. |
| | | | | | | | Recommendations:
Council approval to issue a purchase order. |
| | | | | | | | Background:
Vehicle and machinery extrication equipment is integral in the operations of the Fire Department. Geographically sitting in the midst of several main thoroughfares, the risk of responding on multi-vehicle accidents or even multiple accidents at different locations at the same time is common for the Department. This purchase will add four (4) new sets of extrication tools, one (1) each for the Rescue trucks and one (1) each for the Squads. The older equipment will be distributed throughout the rest of the fleet to assure they have some extrication tools on every piece of apparatus that responds to a vehicle/machinery extrication incident.
The City of Independence has purchased through Equipment Management Company, for the Genesis Rescue Tools, many times in the past. This purchase will be completed through the cooperative contract issued by the Houston-Galveston Area Cooperative (HVAC) Purchasing Agreement. The contract number this is being bought off of is Contract # EE08-19.
Per section 8.06.004, Paragraph 4 of the City Code states competitive bidding is not required when purchases are made through a cooperative contract established by a government purchasing entity or cooperative. The cooperative bids used will have been established pursuant to RSMo. 70.220 or generally accepted governmental purchasing practices through the competitive bidding process.
Approval of this item shall authorize change orders up to a total of ten (10) percent of the authorized amount, provided appropriations are available.
