Council authorizes $38,820 purchase of fire turnout gear under cooperative contract
Summary
The committee approved purchase of fire department personal protective clothing (turnout gear) from W.S. Darley & Company for $38,820, citing NFPA guidance on a 10-year retirement standard.
The Committee of the Whole authorized the purchase of personal protective clothing (turnout gear) for the Geneva Fire Department from W.S. Darley & Company for $38,820, to be procured through the Sourcewell purchasing cooperative. Acting City Administrator McCready introduced the item and noted National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards that allow gear retirement 10 years after manufacture.
McCready said approval will allow the department to replace gear in compliance with NFPA guidance. The city’s fire chief and deputy chief were present for the item; no council members asked substantive technical questions and the committee approved the purchase by voice vote recorded as unanimous.
The resolution authorizes staff to execute the purchase through the cooperative; the transcript does not include split funding details, trade-in, or replacement schedule specifics. Any inventory or serial-number-level replacement data was not provided on the record.
