March 19, 1979 TO: WILLIAM D. FRUEH City Manager FROM: DON LaFONTAINE Purchasing Age 't SUBJECT: TURN OUT COATS AND BOOTS Attached please find a bid tab on turn out coats and boots for the Fire Depart- ment. As you can see, the law bidder meeting specifications on the coats is General Fire of Oshkosh. We also received bids and quotes from Goodall Rubber Company and Servi Fire Control but neither meet the specifications on the coats. Both do not meet the specs in that we asked for a wing free set in construction; in other words, the coats are to be sewn like a shirt, attached at the shoulder rather than at the neck (which prohibits movement by the Fire Fighters) . Also, the outer garment is supposed to be a 3 piece shell; their's is only a single shell. On the boots, all venders meet specifications. It depends on who you want to purchase from. The difference between the low bidder, W. A. Dorpahl and General Fire is $30.50. I think here we should give local preference since General Fire is right here in Oshkosh and service after the sale is very important. However, W.A. Dorpahl of Green Bay is willing to come down and measure eac', man but for time and convenience, General Fire would be there measuring for coats so they could measure for boots at the same time. Chief Phillipps has reviewed these specifications and bids and recommends the low bid on the coats; that being General Fire, and the second low bid, General Fire, on the boots. I would appreciate your comments.
