FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 19, 2024
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF FIRE HOSE
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval for the purchase of fire hose from Casco
Industries for the Fire Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the General Fund (Fire) for an amount not to
exceed $24,395.
BACKGROUND: This purchase is to replace the hose that was either out of date (more
than ten years old) or failed the annual service test and inspection and
was not economically feasible to repair.
This purchase will be made in accordance with an existing interlocal
agreement with The Local Government Purchasing Cooperative (Buy
Board) as allowed by Texas Local Government Code, Section 271 and
Texas Government Code, Chapter 791.
Bids were taken by the Cooperative and a contract was awarded to Casco
Industries. The Fire Department and Purchasing staff reviewed the
contract for departmental specification compliance and pricing and
determined that the contract would provide the best service and pricing for
meeting the needs of the City.
Staff recommends approval.
