STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Resolution authorizing the Director of Finance or her designee to issue purchase orders to
vendors selected under bid specification F-08-18 for fire equipment.
BACKGROUND
On August 6, 2007, the Mayor and Common Council approved resolution #2007-319
authorizing an agreement with Pierce Manufacturing, Inc. for the purchase of seven (7)
new fire engines. And, authorized the Director of Finance to award a lease-purchase to
the lowest responsible leasing company. Included in the financing is to purchase a utility
truck and ancillary equipment for the units.
On September 17, 2007, the Mayor and Common Council approved resolution #2007-
397 authorizing the city to enter into a new agreement with San Manuel Band of Mission
Indians (SMBMI) to provide fire protection. Per the agreement, SMBMI purchased two
Pierce 100' Tractor Drawn Aerial Fire Trucks and the revenue from the contract will
cover the cost of the needed ancillary equipment.
A Request for Quote (RFQ) #F-08-18 was issued to solicit formal bids for fire equipment
needed on the new fire apparatus on April 2, 2008. Notices inviting bids from qualified
vendors were distributed to the San Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce, the City's
Web Site, and advertised in The Sun Newspaper. The RFQ #F-08-18 packages were
mailed to eighteen (18) vendors including one (1) local vendor.
On April 17, 2008, addendum #1 was needed to clarify questions on two equipment
items. The questions received were for the type of rope for item #12 listed on engine
equipment and additional information on item#1 listed on the truck equipment.
On April 24, 2008, addendum #2 was issued to solicit quotes on new items added to the
bid specifications. The addendum requested vendors to provide the unit cost for a ladder
pipe and ladder pipe mounting bracket. This addendum extended the proposal deadline
from April 24, 2008 to May 15, 2008.
All vendors were requested to bid on each of the items listed in bid specification #F08-
018 that was submitted to the Finance Department. The Fire Department received nine
(9) bid packages and has selected the lowest unit bid irrespective of the specific vendor.
Though some vendors quotes indicate they're the lowest bidders, the Fire Department had
to take into consideration what type of specific parts were bid on and the type of
equipment that is currently utilized by the Fire Department.
Consequently, there are eight vendors that we are asking to award the bid to. Each of
them will supply a portion of the ancillary equipment that the Fire Department requires.
1
They are the lowest qualified bidders that can sufficiently meet the Fire Department's
standards for the required ancillary equipment. Each item was considered for the ability
to meet the high performance and quality standards that is required for Fire Department
training and service calls. Therefore, the Fire Department staff is requesting that the
following vendors be issued purchase orders based on unit cost.
All-star Fire Equipment Inc. has the lowest unit cost for drop bag with rope, fire hose
coupling/reducer, halligan tool, hose roller, radio harness and meet technical
specifications. Therefore, it is recommended that a purchase order be awarded to All-star
Fire Equipment in the amount of$7,182.22 under RFQ#F08-18.
Calolympic Safety has the lowest unit cost for rubber diamond plates, litter basket, pike
poles, rope bags, spanner wrenches, traffic cones and meet technical specifications.
Therefore, it is recommended that a purchase order be awarded to Calolympic Safety in
the amount of$10,303.35 under RFQ #F08-18.
Diamondback Fire & Rescue has the lowest unit cost for gated wye hoses, Amkus rescue
tools, bolt cutters, hooks and meet technical specifications. Therefore, it is recommended
that a purchase order be awarded to Diamondback Fire & Rescue in the amount of
$44,037.12 under RFQ #F08-18.
Fisher Scientific Company has the lowest unit cost for fire hose coupling, extension
cords, extinguishers, flashlight-hand lanterns, ventilation fan and meet technical
specifications. Therefore, it is recommended that a purchase order be awarded to Fisher
Scientific Company in the amount of$9,807.13 under RFQ #F08-18.
L.N. Curtis & Sons has the lowest unit cost for axes, carry all, fire hose-increasers,
reducers, nozzles, wildland, high-rise hoses, flashlight, gated Wye hose, generators, GPS
handheld mapping, hall runner, headlamps, handheld weather instrument, Elkhart
monitors, pike poles, pry bars, rubber mallets, shovels, sledge hammers, spanner wrench,
sprinkler boxes, hoseline valves and meet technical specifications. Therefore, it is
recommended that a purchase order be awarded to L.N. Curtis & Sons in the amount of
$176,569.87 under RFQ #1708-18.
Mallory Company is the only local vendor and we are requesting that a purchase order be
issued in the amount of$35,746.27 for chock block, fire hose coupling, extension cords,
forestry hose clamp, hose packs, pike poles, axes, spanner wrench holders, tool boxes,
and trucker belt "fire innovations", k-tool door openers and kits.
South Coast Fire Equipment has the lowest unit cost for foam aeration tube, gated wyes,
intake valves, portable monitors, nozzles-high-rise, ball shut off, twister nozzle, high-rise
hoses and meet technical specifications. Therefore, it is recommended that a purchase
order be awarded to South Coast Fire Equipment in the amount of$48,910.23 under RFQ
#F08-18.
i
W.S. Darley & Company has the lowest unit cost for hydrant wrench, ladder pipe, ladder
pipe mounting bracket, salvage covers, j-box, squeegee, structure protection straps and
meet technical specifications. Therefore, it is recommended that a purchase order be
awarded to W.S. Darley& Company in the amount of$14,264.10 under RFQ #F08-18.
Pursuant to the City's bidding process, it is recommended that vendors meeting technical
specifications be awarded the purchase order under RFQ #F 08-018 for the procurement
of fire equipment. The cost and technical specifications of all bids were reviewed and the
low bidders were determined in each category. All vendors recommended are acceptable
and meet or exceed all items called for in the specifications.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There will be no net impact to the City's General Fund for Fiscal Year 2008-2009. The
funding source for the purchases of the ancillary equipment is through approved CDBG
funding and the revenue contract with SMBMI. Purchase of the ancillary equipment will
be financed over a 9-year period and debt service payments will be reimbursed to the
City with CDBG funds.
The cost of the fire equipment, $340,824.48, will be paid through finance proceeds that
were acquired along with the seven (7) Pierce fire engines that were approved for
purchase and financing at the August 6th Council meeting. The remaining $5,995.81 is
available in account 211-377-5111 (San Manuel Band of Mission Indians money).
