Comment: This resolution will approve the procurement of new breathing apparatus
for the fire department. The procurement follows a Request for Proposal (RFP), in
which 2 proposals were received and scored. The Ed M. Feld Equipment, Inc. SCBA
scored the highest, and had the lowest initial cost. The purchase will be for
$408,574.00, which exceeds the $150,000.00 spending authority of the City Manager,
and so requires Council approval. The purchase price reflects a credit for trade -in
value of the units being replaced. / l
