The current manufacturer was unable to pass National Institute for Occupational Safety and <br />Health (NIOSH) testing requirements necessitating a change in manufacturer. Staff contacted <br />regional fire vendors regarding the issuance of a request for proposals for the replacement of <br />SCBA's. Four vendors initially expressed interest in participating in the process with three <br />vendors ultimately fully participating. The SCBA evaluation consisted of a Use Evaluation <br />completed by staff, Technical evaluation completed by command staff/SCBA maintenance <br />personnel, and competitive bidding, results are listed below; <br />As a result of the highly competitive process the City received very favorable pricing from all <br />vendors with all submitted proposals within less than 1.5% of each other and lower than other <br />departments who have recently purchased SCBA's. Additionally the SCBA system Staff is <br />recommending purchasing has a 15 year warranty, reducing future costs. <br />Based upon the total evaluation Staff is recommending the purchase of the MSA G1 Self <br />Contained Breathing Apparatus and associated equipment from Emergency Response Solutions <br />(ERS) in the amount of 222,897.28.
