RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA WAIVING THE COMPETITIVE BIDDING PROCESS AND
AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF SELF-CONTAINED
BREATHING APPARATUS EQUIPMENT FROM SPECIAL-T FIRE
EQUIPMENT, SAN BERNARDINO, CA.
WHEREAS, the fiscal year 1996/97 Capital Improvement Program Budget approved by
Council includes funds for CIP Project No. PS 148 for the purchase of upgrades to the Fire
Department's existing Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) equipment originally
manufactured by Mine Safety Appliance (MSA); and
WHEREAS, to comply with state and federal regulations which mandate that individual
SCBA components parts originate from the same manufacturer, and due to the fact that
significant savings will be realized through trade-in of some existing MSA components parts,
it is recommended that MSA and its associated distributor, Special-T Fire Equipment be
selected to supply the upgrades to the existing equipment; and
WHEREAS, Special-T has agreed to the following:
City shall receive credit for trade-in of existing equipment no longer
needed by the City and that can be restocked by SpeciaI-T.
· MSA to provide any necessary hand tools at no additional cost to be
used for the repair and maintenance of the equipment by Chula Vista
SCBA maintenance personnel.
· MSA to provide any necessary training and certifications to Chula Vista
SCBA maintenance personnel.
· Masks and regulators to carry a 7-year warranty.
· MSA and SpeciaI-T to provide materials and assistance to fit-test Fire
personnel.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby resolve as follows:
1. The competitive bidding process is hereby waived in light of the unique
circumstances in which state and federal regulations restrict mixing SCBA
component parts, and because significant savings will be realized through trade-
in of current SCBA equipment.
2. The City Council hereby authorizes the purchase of self-contained breathing
apparatus and equipment from SpeciaI-T Fire Equipment, San Bernardino in the
amount of $65,957 subject to an agreement between the parties in a form
approved by the City Attorney, which contains terms and conditions as set
forth herein.
