Title
Three-Year Term Contract with Two-Year Renewal Options for Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Air Equipment, Parts, Repairs, and Maintenance for the Mesa Fire and Medical Department (MFMD) (Citywide)
This contract will provide SCBA parts, supplies and equipment as needed. The current SCBA packs in use by the MFMD are outdated and are no longer compliant with the most recent National Fire Protection Association standards. These units, which are over 10 years old, present significant challenges both in terms of operational safety and ongoing maintenance. Advancements in SCBA technology over the past decade have resulted in significant improvements in firefighter safety, comfort, carcinogen mitigation, and efficiency. Modern SCBA units offer enhanced thermal protection, better ergonomics, improved air management, and integrated communication capabilities - features that are not available in our current inventory.
A committee representing the MFMD and Procurement Services recommend awarding the contract to the highest scored proposal from L.N. Curtis and Sons at $4,000,000 for Year 1 and $500,000, annually thereafter, with an annual increase allowance of up to 5% or the adjusted Consumer Price Index.
