RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
WAIVING THE BID PROCESS AND AUTHORIZING
THE PURCHASE OF MSA SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS
IN THE AMOUNT OF $151,462 FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
FROM MALLORY FIRE, VIA A STATE CONTRACT,
USING VARIOUS GRANT AND CITY FUNDS
WHEREAS, National City is the only suburb in San Diego County that does not
have interoperable self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA's), which is crucial during
region -wide mutual aid operations; and
WHEREAS, due to advances in technology and non-compliance with the
current 2007 revision of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1981 and 2002
standards, the Fire Department's existing cylinders must be replaced; and
WHEREAS, since the 2007 revision of the NFPA standards were recently
adopted, manufacturers of SCBA equipment are currently conducting research and
development to modify their equipment to meet the new standards, which will take several
months to complete; and
WHEREAS, in the interim, MSA, a manufacturer of SCBA's, has offered to
provide the Fire Department with SCBA's that meet the current standards until they can be
replaced with SCBA's that meet the 2007 revised standards at the cost of $151,462; and
WHEREAS, Mallory Fire is the San Diego based vendor for MSA SCBA
equipment; and
WHEREAS, the City is in a position to piggyback with a State contract for the
purchase of SCBA's, which will save the City approximately $113,750 over the standard list
price, and buying the current model of SCBA's now, then upgrading them will save
approximately $31,000 since the price is anticipated to increase approximately 20% when the
revised specs are made available to the market; and
WHEREAS, funds are available for this purchase through three reimbursable
grants that were previously approved by the City Council in the amount of $123,761.21, and
$27,700.79 in City funds; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2.60.260 of the National City Municipal Code,
the Purchasing Agent may buy directly from a vendor at a price established through competitive
bidding by another public agency whose procedures have been determined by the Purchasing
Agent to be in substantial compliance with the City's procurement procedures.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby authorizes the purchase of MSA Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus
(SCBA) from Mallory Fire for the Fire Department, via a State Contract, using various grant and
City funds.
