FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER OL
MEETING DATE: MARCH 6, 2018
SUBJECT: APPROVAL FOR THE AWARD OF AN INFORMAL REQUEST
FOR QUOTE TO PURCHASE SEVEN DRYSUITS
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval for the award of an informal request for quote to
purchase seven drysuits for the Fire Department from Grapevine Scuba.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funds for this purchase are available in account 100-42281-210-003 (Apparatus and
Tools) for an amount not to exceed $15,015.00.
BACKGROUND:
The Department continues to add to our dry suit inventory so that each diver can have
their own dry suit. Sharing of suits is not conducive to response or personal hygiene.
Just like personal protective bunker gear, each diver's suit needs to fit them
appropriately.
Quotes were taken in accordance with City Purchasing Policy. Formal bids and
advertisements are not required for purchases under $50,000. Three vendors submitted
quotations. Grapevine Scuba submitted the lowest responsive and responsible quote
meeting specifications.
Grapevine Scuba $15,015.00
Lone Star Scuba $15,827.00
Diving Unlimited $16,667.00
Staff recommends approval.
