Title
AWARD OF A PURCHASE ORDER TO DOOR SYSTEMS OF SOUTH FLORIDA INC. FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLATION OF TWO FIRE STATION BAY DOORS AT STATION 112 AND SIX FIRE STATION BAY DOORS AT STATION 115
Body
Recommended Action:
Motion to Award a purchase order to Door Systems of South Florida, Inc. for the purchase and installation of eight apparatus bay doors in an amount not to exceed $50,000.00.
Body
Background:
Fire station bay doors serve a number of functions: allowing quick and safe egress of fire apparatus; sealing out heat, cold, and inclement weather; and lending a visual appeal to the aesthetics of the building. As our South Florida fire stations could at any time find themselves in the path of a hurricane, it is imperative that these doors have the appropriate hurricane rating to proactively reduce potential cost and more importantly provide optimum protection to the members inside.
The purchasing department solicited a bid to replace two bay doors at station 112 and six bay doors at station 115. The lowest responsive and responsible bidder submitted a bid in an amount of $48,700.00. A contingency fund of $1,300.00 is requested for minor modification during this project.
This motion to award is in accordance with the City Code of Ordinances, Chapter 36, Section 36.02(A)(1), "Competitive Bids".
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Finance Department Review:
Finance recommends approval.
