Fire district approves equipment purchases: radios and breathing‑air cylinders
Summary
The governing body of Fire District No. 1 approved quotes for replacement radios and self‑contained breathing apparatus cylinders following the Board of Bids and Contracts recommendation; purchases are contingent on previously authorized funds.
During a brief convening of the governing body for Fire District No. 1 on Jan. 22, staff and the Board of Bids and Contracts recommended two purchases: a Motorola Solutions radio quote and replacement self‑contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) cylinders.
Joe Thomas, director of purchasing, reported the recommended quotes are $81,092.56 for Motorola Solutions (security patch and asset contract via an Interlocal purchasing system) and $160,654.84 for SCBA cylinders from Feld Fire (Ed M. Feld Equipment Company). Thomas said the recommendations were contingent on dollars previously approved on the consent agenda; commissioners approved the bid board recommendations by roll call.
Commissioners noted the purchases followed procurement procedures and approved the purchases to support Fire District No. 1 operational readiness.
