HISTORY, BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION
|
The City’s Fire Department is in need of a fire apparatus to replace the two fire apparatus removed from service in October, 2016, due to cracked frames.
Fire Chief, David Schmaltz attached memo details the background and justification to purchase a new vehicle rather than repair the current vehicles.
The City’s Administration Code provides exceptions to the sealed bid requirement, when it is in the City’s best interest to do so. In this case, the proposal was submitted to the Fire Chief, David Schmaltz directly. Chief Schmaltz has reviewed the proposal, the specifications and the vehicle in detail and recommends to award the contract to Smeal Fire Apparatus Co.
I concur with the department’s recommendation that contract award to this firm would be in the best interest of the City of Battle Creek.
