Board authorizes mayor to contract for firefighter PPE sets
Summary
At a June 17 special meeting, the Torrington Board of Public Safety voted to authorize the mayor to award a contract for firefighter personal protective equipment (PPE), pending city council approval; the purchase will be funded from the fire department capital account, per a purchasing agent letter dated June 12.
The Torrington Board of Public Safety voted June 17 to authorize the mayor to award, execute and administer a contract for firefighter personal protective equipment (PPE).
The board approved a motion to purchase “10 dash 20 sets of PPE gear at the price of $4,036 per set, payable to Firematic Supply Company of Rocky Hill,” with the purchase funded from the fire department capital account, according to the purchasing agent’s letter dated June 12. The authorization is subject to subsequent approval by the City Council.
Board members made the motion and adopted it by voice vote. The motion was moved by Commissioner Battle and seconded by Commissioner Cogswell; the board’s presiding official called for the question, and members answered “aye.” The meeting record does not show an individual recorded roll call of votes.
The purchase was presented as a capital expenditure for the fire department; the board did not change the funding source and did not add further specifications in the special meeting. The purchasing agent’s letter dated June 12 was cited as the funding explanation during the motion.
No public comment occurred; the meeting was a special session with a limited agenda and no public participation. The board took the PPE contract authorization as a single, discrete action and moved on to the next agenda item.
