BACKGROUND:
The Department of Fire Rescue ("Fire") needs the ability to maintain and repair its Airhawk Exhaust Systems. In
2015, through Invitation for Bid ("IFB") 371334, Fire purchased ten (10) Airhawk Exhaust Systems, which were
installed within Fire Stations 1 through 10. This IFB was not restricted to a single product or supplier, but Garrison
was the sole bidder. Subsequently, in 2017, through Sole Source #16-17-020, Fire purchased an additional Airhawk
Exhaust System, which will be installed within Fire Station 12.
The Airhawk Exhaust Systems are critical to the safety of the firefighters working within the stations. They remove
toxic exhaust fumes left in fire stations by diesel -powered apparatus as they enter or leave.
In order to maintain their required level of functionality, it is essential that the Airhawk Exhaust Systems working
within the City's Fire Stations are properly maintained and repaired, when required. Fire is working to establish a
six (6) year maintenance contract that will extend the useful lives of its Airhawk Exhaust Systems.
Airhawk Exhaust Systems are manufactured in Cincinnati, OH by MagneGrip Group. Airhawk Exhaust Systems
are sold through a three -tiered distribution process, through Rossman Enterprises, Inc. dlbla Clean Air Concepts,
which is the regional distributor. Garrison, located in Pembroke Pines, FL, is the only authorized dealer authorized
to service Airhawk Exhaust Systems that serves southeastern Florida. There is one other authorized dealer within
the State of Florida, McDonald Air & Sheet Metal, Inc., however, this dealer's activities are restricted to the north
and central Florida regions.
Approved.
