WS1343800255 – Approve the purchase of emergency response vehicles from Daco Fire Equipment, Inc. through the Sourcewell Interlocal Agreement for Cooperative Purchasing in the total amount of $2,871,469.00 for the Fleet Management Department, on behalf of the Houston Airport System.
Specific Explanation:
The Director of the Fleet Management Department and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve spending authority in the total amount of $2,871,469.00 for the purchase of two (2) Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF) Emergency Response Vehicles through the Sourcewell Interlocal Agreement for Cooperative Purchasing vendor Daco Fire Equipment, Inc. for the Fleet Management Department (FMD), on behalf of the Houston Airport System (HAS).
These ARFF Emergency Response Vehicles will be used for firefighting operations, fire suppression and responding to medical incidents at Houston's airports. These vehicles have been vetted and approved by FMD; it has been determined that an alternative fuel vehicle is not available in a commercial configuration to satisfy the application in a practical manner. Both vehicles being purchased will replace existing units that have reached the end of serviceable life.
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:
MWBE Zero Percentage Goal Document approved by the Office of Business Opportunity.
Hire Houston First:
This procurement is exempt from the City's Hire Houston First Ordinance. Bids/proposals were not solicited because the department is utilizing an Interlocal/Cooperative Purchasing Agreement for this purchase.
Fiscal Note:
No significant Fiscal Operating impact is anticipated as a result of this project.
