About this opportunity

The City of Madison Fire Department is conducting a Request for Bids (RFB #13092-0-2024-BG) for the procurement of fire helmets, specifically seeking Phenix TC-1 Composite and Phenix TL-2 Leather Fire Helmets with optional upgrades. The annual helmet order for 2025 is estimated between 20 to 50 units, with a specific color allocation: black helmets for general firefighters, red for company officers, and white for chief officers. No substitutions will be accepted, and vendors must provide detailed unit pricing for individual helmet components, including shields, suspension systems, custom name stamps, and American-made brass finials. The procurement will operate under competitive bidding, with the award expected to be made to the lowest responsible bidder meeting all specifications. Key dates include October 7, 2024, for question submissions, October 10, 2024, for published answers, and October 16, 2024, at 2:00 PM CDT as the bid submission deadline. Electronic bid submissions under 20MB should be emailed to bids@cityofmadison.com, with pricing required to include delivery terms of FOB Destination Freight Prepaid.

Contractors employing 15 or more employees with annual City business exceeding $50,000 must comply with affirmative action requirements. The procurement includes standard municipal contract provisions for insurance, indemnification, and non-discrimination. The City reserves rights for contract acceptance, rejection, cancellation, and potential cooperative purchasing extensions to other municipalities. Based on the Bid Summary document, the contract was awarded to Engine Company Leather, LLC and Conway Shield Engine Company Leather, LLC, with item costs ranging from $19.00 for a passport-only option to $1,000.00 for a TL2 leather helmet. Neither awarded vendor is classified as a local vendor. The pricing structure includes unit prices with potential percentage increases for late orders, and the contract specifications detail precise requirements for helmet construction, eye protection, suspension systems, and color options. While specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the procurement suggests an annual equipment investment of approximately $20,000 to $50,000 for helmet replacements and upgrades.
