Sole Source for Bunker Gear (Capital Purchase)
Fire Department
Bunker gear can be purchased several ways including online websites as well as regional vendors such as we utilize.
Although, the specific style or make of gear being worn by our department is not complicated to come across, the time
and effort depleted by vendors (customer service) is extremely important when purchasing these costly items. The gear
we purchase is customized (sizes, style, cuts, colors, equipment attachments, etc..) to our needs as it always has been in
the past.
The current vendor, Municipal Equipment Services, Inc. (MES) has been servicing our department for many years. This
includes the time exhausted by the sales person coming to our station three different shifts where he sizes and prepares
future orders for enhanced fitting of gear for our firefighters. This is not mandatory by the vendor in general, however,
when you can find one that is prepared to do this and has a long track record as our representative has it seems to pay
off in the long run regarding errors. We need to continue with uniformity between sets of gear since we are purchasing
between years. Customer Service has always been excellent with this representative. The Sales Order reflects six (6)
sets (Coat, pant, boot, etc.) of bunker gear that outfits six firefighters.
The fire department request's that the city council approve the amount of $17,351.04 ($18,000 was budgeted/approved
by council) for the six sets of bunker gear.
Respectfully,
Herb Smith
