RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
APPROVING THE WAIVING OF THE FORMAL BID PROCESS PURSUANT TO
NATIONAL CITY MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 2.60.220 (B) FOR THE SOLE
SOURCE PURCHASE OF 24 SETS OF LION BRAND TURNOUT GEAR
COMPLIANT WITH NATIONAL FIRE PROTECTION ASSOCIATION CODE
NO. 1851 FROM ALLSTAR FIRE EQUIPMENT FOR
THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF $61,000.59
WHEREAS, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code No. 1851
specifies the minimum selection, care, and maintenance requirements for structural firefighting
protective ensembles and the individual ensemble elements that include garments, helmets,
gloves, footwear, and interface components that are compliant with NFPA 1971 (Standard on
Protective Ensembles for Structural Fire Fighting and Proximity Fire Fighting); and
WHEREAS, NFPA 1851 requires a 10-year mandatory retirement rule for
structural gear, and 5-year mandatory retirement for reflective outer shells specified in proximity
gear; and
WHEREAS, the National City Fire Department (NCFD) recently had all the
turnouts professionally inspected, and over 60% of the inventory do not meet the minimum
standard due to age and or damage; and
WHEREAS, because Allstar Fire Equipment is the sole source provider for LION
brand turnout gear, NCFD desires to purchase 24 sets of NFPA 1851 compliant LION brand
turnout gear from Allstar Fire Equipment for the not to exceed amount of $62,000.59; and
WHEREAS, National City Municipal Code ("NCMC") Section 2.60.220(B) allows
the bid process to be waived when the commodity, regardless of value, can be obtained from
only one source. Sole source procurements may be used when there is only one source from
which a particular commodity is available and there is no adequate substitute. Sole source
procurement may also be used when it is clear that competitive bidding will not produce any
competitive advantage or would be impractical or not meet an urgent city procurement need.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby approves the waiving of the formal bid process, consistent with Municipal
Code Sections 2.60.220(B), and approves the purchase of 24 sets of NFPA 1971 compliant
LION brand turnout gear from Allstar Fire Equipment for the not to exceed amount of
$62,000.59.
