Report
Summary
Anchor bolts have been established in City of Phoenix parks and mountain preserves for technical rescue training and rescue operations. These anchors are critical to support technical rescue operations (mountain rescues) in these highly technical terrains. For public safety reasons, the locations of the Fire Department's established anchor bolts are undisclosed to prevent tampering, unauthorized usage, and for the safety of the public and Fire Department technical rescue team members. AHS currently provides this critical service.
Procurement Information
In accordance with Administrative Regulation 3.10, normal competition was waived because of the unusual nature of the services and the necessity to protect Fire Department technical rescue team personnel by limiting public access to anchor bolt locations.
Contract Term
This request is to contract with AHS Rescue for a maximum of five years, with the initial three-year term of the contract from approximately July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2020, and two one-year options through June 30, 2022.
Financial Impact
The aggregate five-year cost shall not exceed $22,500. Funds for this service are included in the Fire Department's operating budget.
