Committee defers Safeware purchase-order ratification after amount discrepancy
Summary
The HRPS committee deferred for two weeks a ratification of a previously issued Safeware purchase order after staff said the agenda and submitted documents listed different dollar amounts (agenda: $215,467; actual purchase: $114,566.45).
Committee members questioned conflicting dollar figures on a Fire Rescue procurement and asked staff to clarify the record before approval.
The cooperative procurement (Omnia Partners contract no. 440000008468) was listed in the agenda with an award to Safeware, Inc. at an amount not to exceed $215,467. Committee discussion revealed the actual purchase order was $114,566.45; staff characterized the item as a ratification of a purchase made in support of FIFA (as stated in the transcript) funding for fire-related equipment. Because of the discrepancy and limited documentation on the printed agenda, Commissioner Marita Davis Johnson and other members requested a substitute or corrected agenda language; the committee voted to defer the item for two weeks so procurement can provide clear paperwork and a corrected agenda entry.
