FINANCIAL BUSINESS REQUEST (FBR)
Motion/Request:
title
MOTION to approve a bid waiver to Daniels Equipment Co, Inc of Auburn NH for the purchase of commercial laundry equipment and services.
end
Background:
Ledyard Fire Co wishes to purchase a turnout gear dryer using CNR funds. Daniels Equipment is the area representative for Continental Laundry Solutions. Daniels Equipment currently services the gear washer/extractor at Ledyard Fire and is the closest area service company for Continental equipment.
Department Comment/Recommendation:
I support the motion, as having a single vendor servicing both appliances is efficient.
After reviewing the LFD request, there are very few cabinet-style turnout gear dryers on the market. This style of dryer allows the unit to be used for not only turnout gear, but fire hose, cold water rescue suits, ropes, and other equipment.
I plan to add Daniels Equipment to the Standing Bid Waiver list for next FY.
