<br />Contracts Award for Firefighter Protective <br />Clothing and Fire Equipment <br />(Spec. No. 04-111) <br />October 4, 2004 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />In addition to the protective clothing, the Fire Department requires <br />equipment that includes flashlights, fire hoods, and fire hose twister <br />nozzles. Each firefighter is provided with a flashlight and a fire <br />hood. The flashlight attaches to the turnout coat, thus allowing the <br />firefighter use of both hands to suppress a fire or perform a rescue. <br />The fire hood is a requirement of the NFPA and is used in conjunction <br />with the breathing apparatus mask to cover the face, ears and neck of <br />the firefighter. The Fire Department has four designated wildland <br />firefighting engine companies that use fire hose and twister nozzles <br />specifically designed for suppressing wildland fires. The current <br />twister nozzles are worn and require replacement. <br /> <br />The notice inviting bids was advertised on August 30 and September 1, <br />2004, and bids were solicited. A summary of the bid invitations and <br />bids received is as follows: <br /> <br />35 Invitations for Bid mailed <br />1 Invitation for Bid mailed to a Santa Ana vendor <br />6 Bids received <br /> <br />Bids were received and opened on September 13, <br />bids received from the recommended vendors <br />specifications and meet the City's requirements. <br /> <br />2004 (Exhibit 1). <br />are responsive to <br /> <br />The <br />the <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br /> <br /> <br />able in the Fire Maintenance Operating Materials and <br />(account no. 11-327-6391). <br /> <br />... <br /> <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: <br /> <br /> <br />oma <br />Director <br />& Mgmt.
