RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to Fire Service Specification & Supply for Rescue Extraction Equipment in the
amount not to exceed $38,238.
DISCUSSION
On April 7, 2008, the City Council accepted a $250,401 grant from the State of California
Governor's Office of Homeland Security, under the Metropolitan Medical Response System
Program. The program was created to enhance a community's ability to respond to terrorist
attacks.
The Fire Department has three front line Truck Companies, equipped with hydraulic rescue tools.
On December 1, 2008, the City Council approved replacement extraction equipment for two of
the truck companies. This purchase will complete the upgrade by outfitting the third Truck
Company with lighter, more durable hydraulic rescue tools. This purchase will standardize rescue
equipment and enhance the Fire Department's emergency response capability.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from
any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The City of Los Angeles' contract with Fire
Service Specification & Supply was awarded as a result of open, competitive bidding, and meets
the City's requirements. Staff recommends the purchase of the rescue extraction equipment.
