This would allow the Flagstaff Fire Department to purchase necessary specialized fire and safety equipment through LN Curtis & Sons for the new Quint. This request is for a one-time purchase of equipment for a new unit. The equipment the Flagstaff Fire Department is purchasing is typically a very specialized type or would be a replacement to match existing equipment for familiarity.

The Flagstaff Fire Department will only purchase equipment within the approved budget in any given year. Utilizing the Cooperative Purchase Contract will allow the Flagstaff Fire Department to obtain better pricing through the underlying cooperative purchase contract. The funding source is the impact fees account (003-03-051-0203-2-4403, funding in 4401). City Purchasing Staff found that LN Curtis & Sons has a cooperative purchase contract as part of their Sourcewell Agreement #020124 to supply materials. The City will be utilizing this cooperative purchase contract to ensure the best pricing when the Fire Department purchases necessary equipment.
