program approved on February 9, 1999, (M&C G-12462),. Ordinance No 13701
DISCUSSION
The aerial ladder truck is a replacement for the City's uneconomically repairable unit No 2340006 that
will be sold at auction Firefighters will use this equipment in the rescue and protection of .the citizens of
Fort Worth
The Fire Department has reviewed the pricing of the equipment, based on HGAC Bid No FA00-03, and
finds the cost to be reasonable Under Section 271 102(c) of the Texas Local Government Code, a
local government purchasing an item under such a contract satisfies any state law requiring that the
local government seek competitive bids for purchase of the item
M/WBE - A waiver of the goal for M/VVBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the
Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office because the purchase of goods is from
sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible
