Specific Explanation:
The Director of the Mayor's Office of Public Safety and Homeland Security and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve the spending authority in the total amount of $83,421.75 for the purchase of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) from Texas Smart Buy Purchasing Cooperative supplier, Con10gency Consulting, LLC for Houston Police Department.
This consists of fifteen (15) Avon Twinport Multi-Role protective masks with accessories, fifteen (15) Avon Protection Digital Voice Projection units with microphone assembly, and fifteen (15) Avon Protection SCBA systems with accompanying filters and carrying cases. The protective equipment will be utilized by HPD officers in the event of a Chemical Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRNE) emergency. This equipment will protect officers from exposure to potential hazardous and life-threatening chemicals and other potential environmental dangers during a CBRNE emergency event.
This recommendation is made pursuant to subsection 271.102(c) of the Texas Local Government Code, which provides that "a local government that purchases goods or services from a cooperative purchasing program or organization satisfies any state law requiring the local government to seek competitive bids for the purchase of the goods or services.”
MWBE Participation:
This procurement is exempt from the City’s M/WBE subcontracting as the total project expenditure does not exceed the $100,000.00 City’s threshold.
Hire Houston First:
Hire Houston First does not apply to his expenditure because it involves the use of federal funds and is subject to specific procurement rules of the federal government.
Fiscal Note:
No Fiscal Note is required on grant items.
