About this file

Written by GovTribe AI ·

This is a Non-Competitive Oversight Committee Justification Form from Pinellas County Government's Safety and Emergency Services Department, specifically for the procurement of a US&R (Urban Search & Rescue) Rescue Strut System. The one-time equipment purchase totals $164,806.20 and involves replacing a 20-year-old structural collapse support system for emergency rescue operations. The project is being managed by John Murphy and involves acquiring standardized equipment used by FEMA US&R teams to support collapsed structures during rescue incidents.

The non-competitive procurement was reviewed and approved by the Non-Competitive Oversight Committee, which includes members Merry Celeste, Don Crowell, Chris Rose, and a department ACA representative. The vendor, Team Equipment, Inc., has previously supplied similar equipment, having replaced Clearwater's equipment in 2021 under contract 22-0222-PB (SPO 448890). The document indicates this is a direct replacement of aging equipment with a standardized system used by federal emergency response teams, suggesting a strategic approach to maintaining critical rescue infrastructure.
