APPROVAL FOR THE AWARD OF AN INFORMAL REQUEST
FOR QUOTE FOR A TRAILER WITH MODIFICATIONS
City Council to consider approval for the award of an informal request for quote for a trailer
with modifications from North Texas Trailers.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 114-48860-210-4 (Machinery,
Equip, Implements) and 100-48860-210-3 (Machinery and Equipment) in an amount not
to exceed $27,645.00. Baylor Scott & White Grapevine and North Central Texas Trauma
Regional Advisory Council contributed to the cost of the trailer in a total amount of $21,335
in grant funds.
BACKGROUND:
This purchase is for a Command/First Aid trailer. The Grapevine Fire Department (GFD)
is responsible for responses to unique incidents (dive, technical rescue, boat, brush) and
for providing medical services during special events and festivals. By obtaining a
combination Command/First Aid trailer, GFD will be able to coordinate the incidents with
a place for unified command, technical meetings, provide real time information, have a
weather station on scene and have a suitable place for computers, laptops, printers, etc..
Also utilizing this asset as a first aid station gives the paramedics a shelter facility, a
professional atmosphere, real time weather information and increased patient capacity
and privacy. This asset would also take the burden off others to find a first aid
shelter/building that at many times is not adequate for patients and treatment of patients.
Informal quotes were taken in accordance with City Purchasing Policy. Formal bids and
advertisements are not required for purchases under $50,000.00. Three quotes were
