Department researched procurement options for emergency response and firefighting equipment and discovered other agencies had completed an open, fair, transparent, and competitive procurement process. The City reviewed the cooperative agreement options and determined that the contract between Sourcewell and L.N. Curtis & Sons provided the best value to the City.
WHEREAS, Sourcewell has a Contract/Agreement etc. for the purchase of these emergency response and firefighting equipment, Contract/Agreement etc. No. 040220-LNC (“Contract Number”); and
WHEREAS, the City’s participation in the Sourcewell Contract will facilitate the City’s ability to purchase/furnish/etc. as well as provide considerable cost benefits to the City; and
