Danbury Board amends sole-source Pierce parts purchase order for Fire Dept.
Summary
The Board approved an $11,000 amendment to a sole-source purchase order with Firematic Supply for Pierce OEM parts, increasing the authorized amount beyond the Purchasing Agent’s $35,000 limit and allowing further as-needed purchases through the fiscal year.
The Board of Awards voted unanimously to approve an $11,000 amendment to an existing sole-source purchase order with Firematic Supply for Pierce original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts and services for the Fire Department, increasing the previously authorized amount and permitting additional as-needed purchases through the remainder of the fiscal year.
Purchasing Agent Charles J. Volpe said the original purchase order, issued on a sole-source basis because Firematic Supply is the only authorized Pierce dealer in Connecticut, was for an amount not to exceed $34,000. Fire Chief R. Thode moved to allow the requested $11,000 amendment and to permit the Fire Department to purchase additional required Pierce OEM parts and services as needed for the balance of the fiscal year; K. Prunty seconded the motion and the Board carried it unanimously.
The Board’s approval was required because the amended total would exceed the Purchasing Agent’s $35,000 authorization threshold. The minutes record no additional conditions or vendor alternatives were discussed.
