with equally suitable, compatible, and functionally equivalent non-infringing
Deliverable(s) at no additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the foregoing

HEARING:
SUBJECT. (ALL)Authorize Purchase Agreement for Quick Response Brush Trucks from Siddons
Martin Emergency Group, LLC, in an Annual Amount Up to $1,612,613.00 using an
HGAC Cooperative Purchasing Contract FS12-19A for the Fire Department through
Property Management and Authorize Two One-Year Renewal Options for the Same
Annual Amount
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize a purchase agreement for Quick Response Brush
Trucks from Siddons Martin Emergency Group, LLC, in an annual amount up to $1,612,613.00
using an HGAC Cooperative Purchasing Contract FS12-19A for the Fire Department through
Property Management and authorize two one-year renewal options for the same annual amount.
DISCUSSION:
The Fire Department (FD) approached the Property Management Department with the intent
to purchase Quick Response Brush Trucks. The Fire Department will use the brush trucks for
transporting firefighting personnel needed for the extinguishment of wildland and outside fires, as well
as, provide Aircraft Rescue Firefighting capability for use at aviation incidents which fall under the City
of Fort Worth Fire Department's jurisdiction.
Property Management reached out to Siddons Martin Emergency Group, LLC who was able to provide
a full quote which meets the minimum specifications and requirements for the requesting department.
The units meet required specifications and is expected to operate satisfactorily during their service life
of ten (10) years. Warranty information, manufacturers Statement of Origin and original sales invoice
will accompany the unit upon delivery.
PRICE ANALYSIS -The unit price proposed by Siddons Martin Emergency Group is 55\% percent
higher than the last purchase in 2012. The price increase reflects manufacturer increases in the new
year model. Four of the Quick Response Brush Trucks will replace existing units that can no longer be
economically maintained. Two of the Quick Response Brush Trucks will be additions to the fleet due to
the increase in the total number fire stations.
COOPERATIVE PURCHASE - State law provides that a local government purchasing an item under a
cooperative purchasing agreement satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek
competitive bids for purchase of the item. Buy Board contract has been competitively bid to increase
and simplify the purchasing power of local government entities across the State of Texas.
BUISNESS EQUITY- an M/WBE goal is not assigned when purchasing from an approved purchasing
cooperative or other public entity.
RENEWAL-The agreement may be renewed for up to two additional one-year terms, in accordance
with the terms of the HGAC Contract No FS12-19A. Should HGAC elect to exercise further
renewal options, the City will do the same.
DELIVERY-The new unit will be delivered within 775 days after receipt of a purchase order
FUNDING - Funding is budgeted in the Fire Department's Tax Note 2021 C Fund for the FY22 FD
Apparatus Replacement project, TaxNote2018 Fund for the Fire Apparatus Replacements project, Tax
Note 2019 Fund for the Fire Apparatus 2019 Tax Notes project, and Tax Note 2020 Fund for the Fire
