DISCUSSION
The Fire Department uses fire rescue saws during firefighting
operations to ventilate buildings and release hot gases and smoke, thus
allowing for safer rescue conditions for the firefighters. There are
four Cutters Edge fire rescue saws currently in service. However, the
saws have reached their expected life cycle and require replacement.
Cutters Edge equipment is specifically designed for firefighting and
staff has determined that L. N. Curtis & Sons is the only source for
sales and service for Cutters Edge equipment for California.
In addition, a contingency has been included to allow for miscellaneous
firefighting equipment purchases that are required on a recurring basis
as a result of an informal bid process. L. N. Curtis & Sons has been
providing firefighting equipment and service to the Fire Department for
over 15 years, and has performed satisfactorily. Staff recommends
authorization of the award to L.N. Curtis & Sons.
