Background:
Each set of firefighter bunker gear must annually have an advanced cleaning and inspection and repairs as needed to be NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) 1851 Compliant. NFPA 1851 Compliant is the standard with established requirements for the selection, care, and maintenance of firefighting protective ensembles for structural firefighting and proximity firefighting with proper PPE maintenance that reduces health and safety risks and limits the exposure of fire ground contaminants to firefighters. The solicitation requested a price on optional mobile cleaning of coat and pant and Fire-Dex GW LLC was the only Respondent that offered this service.
IFB-604457-22/TKH will ensure Seminole County is NFPA 1851 Compliant, by providing mobile advanced cleaning of firefighter protective ensembles annually, regular cleaning, repairs, and the annual inspection. This project was publicly advertised, and two (2) submittals were received in response to the solicitation. The Review Committee comprised of Gerald Hutchison, Warehouse Supervisor, Amy Jinright, Battalion Chief, and Gene VanEtten, Lieutenant/Paramedic evaluated the proposals. Consideration was given to ability, capacity, and skill of the apparent low bidder to perform the work, character, integrity, reputation, judgement, and efficiency of the apparent low bidder, the quality of performance on previous contracts or services to Seminole County, and the references provided by each bidder. The Review Committee recommends award to the lowest priced, responsible, responsive bidder, Fire-Dex GW LLC.
The Agreement takes effect on the date of execution and continues for a period of three (3) years and may be renewed for two (2) successive periods not to exceed one (1) year each. Authorization for performance under this Agreement will be in the form of written purchase orders issued and executed by the County. This is a budgeted project and funds are available in the Fire Protection Fund, Account Numbers 056100.530460.
