ENCLOSURES:
An investigation was conducted to determine whether Compressed Air Supplies & Equipment,
a Mon -Local vendor, located at 800 Old Griffin Rd #3 Dania, FL 33004 is the sole source
provider for service for Bauer stand-alone SCBA recharging systems.
• The manufacturer was contacted to get a list of the local authorized repair facilities, to
which they replied with the only authorized repair facility in our area, Compressed Air
Supplies & Equipment.
• The manufacturer sent us a letter stating that Compressed Air Supplies & Equipment is
the only authorized service facility in our area. The author of this letter was contacted
to verify that the letter sent by the local Bauer branch was still active.
• We obtained a list of other municipalities that the vendor does work for and contacted
three of the municipalities to independently verify the work done by Compressed Air
Supplies & Equipment.
• All three municipalities have had work done by Compressed Air Supplies & Equipment
on a sole source basis.
Based on the investigation findings listed above, I am recommending that the City of Miami
accept the sole source finding and enter into an agreement with Compressed Air Supplies &
Equipment under the Procurement Directors Authority.
