Approval of Bid Item #08-074 Breathing Apparatus for Fire Department
Department:Fire, Howard Willis, Chief
Caption:Motion to approve awarding of Bid Item #08-074 for an Air-
Pak 75 Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus for
the Augusta Fire Department to Hagemeyer.
Background:The Augusta Fire Department and the Procurement
Department has completed the bid process, in accordance to
city policy, for Bid Item #08-074, Air-Pak 75 Open-Circuit
Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus for the Augusta Fire
Department. Hagemeyer of Augusta was the sole compliant
bidder.
Analysis:The Augusta Fire Department is in need of upgrading our
present self-contained breathing apparatus which is no longer
compliant with NFPA standards. These units are
approximately ten years old and are quickly becoming a
financial burden for repairs and a safety issue for our
firefighters. The purchase of the new equipment will keep us
compliant with the new NFPA standards for the next 5-10
years or until the NFPA upgrades their standards once again.
Financial Impact:The cost of upgrading our self-contained breathing apparatus
will be $608,700.00. The funds for this purchase are
allocated in our 2008 operating budget.
Alternatives:None at this time.
Recommendation:To award the contract for Bid Item #08-074, Air-Pak 75
Open-Circuit Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus for the
Augusta Fire Department to Hagemeyer as the low and
compliant bidder.

Re: Recommendation for awarding Bid Item# 08-074, Air-Pak 75 Open-Circuit Self-
Contained Breathing Apparatus
The Augusta Fire Department and the Procurement Department have concluded the
bid process for the purchase of Air-Pak 75 Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing
Apparatus for the Augusta Fire Department. Proposals were received from two
companies, Hagemeyer and American Firehouse and Safety. Of the two, only
Hagemeyer was compliant with the bid requirements and specifications,
Hagemeyer has met all the specified requirements of the bid documents without
taking any exceptions and within the allocated budget amount. It is the opinion of the
Augusta Fire Department that, Hagemeyer with a bid of $608,700.89 should be
awarded the contract as best bid.
