Consent Agenda
Fire Department Turnout Gear

BACKGROUND: 
The Fire Department has received grant funding through the State of Michigan for the purchase of 24 sets of turnout gear. Since the department uses Honeywell/Morning Pride gear and they utilize protected sales areas, there is no benefit to utilizing the competitive bid process. Jefferson Fire & Safety's quote is $79,992.

FISCAL EFFECT: 
The total cost will be reimbursed through the State of Michigan turnout gear grant program.

RECOMMENDATION: 
Waive the RFP process and approve the purchase of 24 sets of turnout gear from Jefferson Fire & Safety in an amount to not exceed $79,992.

ALTERNATIVES: 
As determined by the Commission.
