[Funding Source: Fund 352, LOST III, Cost Center 330228, Fire LOST]
A request for quotations for five Thermal Imagers was posted on Vendor Registry, to receive quotes for a thermal imaging camera that would allow firefighters to identify objects in the midst of a fire. This request for quotations was emailed to 102 registrants in Vendor Registry. 29 firms opened and viewed the request for quotations. At closing on May 6, 2020, 3:00 p.m., nine quotations had been received. |
| BACKGROUND: |
The issuance of this Purchase Order is necessary to ensure the continuity of services traditionally provided by the Board of County Commissioners Fire Rescue department to the citizens of Escambia County.
A thermal imager is a device that creates an image that will allow firefighters to identify objects in the midst of a fire. This is a life-saving device utilized to find not only humans, but also hidden fires in black smoke. We are utilizing this purchase to replace devices over 10 years old. It is more cost effective to replace the devices than to repair the old devices. |
| BUDGETARY IMPACT: |
| Funds are available in Fund 352, LOST III, Cost Center 330228, Fire LOST. |

| PERSONNEL: |
| N/A |
| POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION: |
