AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
Meeting Date: June 15,2005
Division:
County Administrator
Bulk Item: Yes X No
Department: Fire Rescue
Staff Contact Person: Susan Hover
AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval to waive purchasing policy and issue a Purchase Order to
Municipal Equipment Company, LLC, sole source stocking distributor of Lion Apparel's Janesville
Brand of Turnouts in the state of Florida, in the amount of $59,312.00 for the purchase of 44 sets of
personal protective ensembles.
ITEM BACKGROUND: Personal protective ensembles (PPE) for structural firefighting, even with
limited exposure to fire combat, have a shelf life that renders the thermal and vapor barrier protection
ineffective after seven years. An inventory was conducted in June of 2003 that revealed we had
members wearing PPE in excess of twice the shelf life. On July 22,2003, a request was made to the
Board which they approved for the appropriation of funds for the replacement of one seventh of the
PPE annually.
During the past year Monroe County Fire Rescue has tested PPE of several different manufacturers.
Personnel were assigned the gear and were requested to give an evaluation in writing to our Apparatus
Committee. We also hosted a day at the Fire Academy where vendors could bring their bunker gear for
personnel evaluation. Thereafter, it was determined by our Apparatus Committee that Municipal
Equipment Company, LLC best met the needs of Monroe County Fire Rescue. Chief Martin
concurred.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCC ACTION: On July 22.2003 the Board approved the replacement
of one seventh of the to131 number of PPE annually. This amount has been budgeted for FYOS.
