PARTICULATE BLOCKING FIRE HOODS

The City of Mesa solicited a three‑year, firm‑fixed‑price contract for NFPA 1971‑compliant particulate‑blocking fire hoods to be used by its Fire and Medical Department. The award went to L.N.

The solicitation required local stock, sample delivery, field‑testing, and a warranty, and allowed for up to two optional one‑year renewals. • Product must meet NFPA 1971 (2018 or later) and provide particulate protection. • Quantity: 600 hoods in Year 1, 150 in Year 2, 150 in Year 3; vendor must keep at least 50 hoods locally in stock. • Evaluation emphasized hood performance (60 pts), qualifications (15 pts), and price (25 pts); pricing is firm for the full term.
