REIECT BIDS/CONTINUE AWARD -TWO HUNDRED FORTY-EIGHT (248)
MORE OR LESS, FIREFIGHTERS PROTECTIVE CLOTHING (EMS CIP 288)
1'he South Bend Fire Department and Attorney Thomas Bodnar reviewed the bids.
Mr. Bodnar concluded that the first time the Board of Public Works advertised for bids
for fire protective clothing, four (4) bids were received. , The Board rejected these bids
primarily because they were all higher than expected. Some modifications were made in
the uon-safety aspect of the specifications with the thought that this would lower the bids.
Seven companies replied: All were required, as part of the specifications, to submit a
sample of what they bid.

P.ECONVENED REGULAR MEETING
JULY 26, 2006
After reviewing the bids and examining the equipment, the Fire Department found
shortcomings to various degrees in all bids. Some. of these exceptions were noted by the
vendor, some were not.
At the Public Works Agenda Session, it was decided that all bidders would be given an
opportunity to explain the discrepancies and indicate if they could correct them. A
written reply had to be received by fax or personal delivery at the Board of Public Works
by 9:00 a.m. July 24, 2006. Six of the companies replied in a timely manner. One did
not. The notice specifically indicated that failure to respond on time would result in
disqualification as non-responsive. The company which filed the tardy response, Argus
Supply Company, had one of the longest lists of exceptions. Because its original
subhiittal could be rejected as non-responsive, because the notice clearly stated that an
untimely response would be rejected as non-responsive and because they were the lone
tardy bidder, their bid may be rejected as non-responsive.
Five Alarm Fire and Safety had a deceptively short number of exceptions on the original
list. Without going into detail, it involved the three major safety components. The
specification required 7.5 ounces of protection per square yard in the outer shell. Five
Alarm, in its response, said that it could only provide 7.25 ounces per square yard.
Considering the City of South Bend is purchasing protective gear, the failure to conform
to the specifications in the safety aspect is a critical one and renders the bid non-
responsive. Fire Service, Inc., noted on its original bid that the warranty against defects
was, contrary to the specifications, for one (1) year only. The company stood by its
position when it replied Monday morning. We expect to be able to get five to eight years
of rise out of the clothing. All other companies were able to give us that warranty. The
faihu•e of Fire Service, Inc., to comply with the warranty requirement constitutes a
material variation and. is grounds for rejection as non-responsive.
polton Fire Equipment Sales, Inc., presented a knee pad that did not comply. This was
called to their attention in the exceptions. As the firefighters are occasionally required to
' crawl along the ground to stay under the smoke because of confined space, the knee
padding is an important part of the turnout gear, not just for show. The Monday morning
fax from them did not address this issue. In addition, Dolton indicated that they could not
comply with our requirement of delivery within sixty (60) days from notification of
selection for bid. This could put the Federal Grant at risk. No other company indicated
such a problem. Failure to address the knee pad deficiency which was specifically called
to its attention and the inability to promise the delivery of goods in a timely manner
renders the Dolton Fire Equipment Sales, Inc., bid non-responsive.
Hoosier Fire Equipment, inc., indicated that there were ten (10) items in which they
could not conform to the specifications. The cumulative effect of these acknowledged
failures renders them non-responsive.
`t'otal Fire Group ($1462:88 per set) did not have any variations from our specifications.
h;nvironmental Safety Group, Inc., which bid $1282.40 per set, is apparently the lowest of
the two (2) remaining bidders. However, while every other bidder made a good faith
attempt at meeting our specifications and preparing a physical package which matched
their specifications, it is not clear that this was done by this company. While they did not
dote it, the outer shell that was sent was only 7 ounces per square yard, not 7.5. There
were significant discrepancies in other safety items that became apparent when they were
examined, but which the company did not independently acknowledge. They simply
' responded that it could meet our'specifications.
Airy remaining discrepancies in what was physically produced by the remaining two (2)
companies, while not meeting our specs, did not involve safety items and are not
material.
There is a time element involved. A federal .grant with deadlines is involved. A final
decision must be made no later than the Board's next scheduled meeting, August 7, 2006.
To be sure that the material does meet our specifications in every way, there is a need to

j `j RECONVENED REGULAR MEETING JULY 26, 2006
examine a set conforming to the resubmitted specs. The review committee will need two
working days to examine the materials.
The Board of Public Works rejected five (5) of the bids as non-responsive and that the
remaining two (2) bidders be told of where they rank in terms of price and be given the
opportunity to produce a physical specimen of the turnout suit that they feel they have bid
in their response of Monday morning. The deadline for this submission is Wednesday,
August 2, 2006 at 4:30 Eastern Daylight Savings Time at the South Bend Fire
Department. The companies are invited to have representatives present when the Fire
Department examines the samples later that week.
Therefore, Mr. Littrell miade a motion That the -five (5) noted bids be rejected, and that the
remaining two (2) supply samples for the South Bend Fire Department to review; the
- samples due by August 2, 2006, with an award to be made at the special meeting of the
board on August 7, 2006. Mr. Inks seconded the motion, which carried.
