LOG NAME: 13P AMEND 20-0132 STEEL TOE SLIP ON BOOTS
SUBJECT
(ALL) Authorize Amendments to Existing Purchase Agreements with Red Wing Brands of America, Inc. for Steel Toe Slip -On Boots to
Increase the Amount by $25,000.00 for a New Combined Annual Amount Up to $125,000.00 for the Fire Department
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize amendments to existing Purchase Agreements with Red Wing Brands of America, Inc. for steel
toe slip-on boots to increase the amount by $25,000.00 for a new combined annual amount up to $125,000.00 for the Fire Department.
DISCUSSION:
On June 25, 2020, the Chief Procurement Office (CPO) authorized Purchase Agreements (Bid No. 20-0132) with Red Wing Brands of America,
Inc. for steel toe slip-on boots in an annual amount not to exceed $100,000.00. An additional $25,000 is needed for the remainder of the term for a
new annual amount of $125,000.00. The increase will provide enough funding to provide steel toe slip-on boots for the new recruits for the
Fire Department.
A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office, in
accordance with the BDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities
are negligible.
This agreement may be renewed at the City's option for four additional one-year terms. The renewal action will not require City Council approval
provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal terms.
FISCAL INFORMATION / CERTIFICATION:
The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current capital budget, as previously appropriated, in the General Capital Projects
fund for the Cancer Prevention Program project to support the approval of the above recommendation and amendment to the purchase
agreement. Prior to any expenditure being incurred, the Fire Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
