Report
Summary
The Fit Testers measure respiratory masks and equipment to ensure there are no leaks that would allow particles, vapors, or gases into self-contained breathing apparatus masks (SCBA). Verification of compliance with the Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) Respiratory Standards is a mandatory requirement for this equipment.
OHD's services include but are not limited to: new OHD Quantifit Fit Testers to include any required software and component parts in order to maintain functionality; repair and calibration services of existing and any new Fit Testers; and annual service and calibration requirements in accordance with OSHA standards.
Procurement Information
The selection was made using a direct selection process set forth in City of Phoenix Administrative Regulation 3.10. The competitive process was waived because OHD is the sole source provider for Quantifit Fit Testers and maintenance services. OHD is the authorized distributor and purchases must be made through OHD.
Contract Term
The term of the agreement is five years effective July 1, 2020.
Financial Impact
The agreement value for OHD will not exceed a total aggregate value of $35,000. Funding is available in the Water Services Department operating budget.
