Zahralban epartment of Fire -Rescue DATE: February 5, 2019 s BJECI Emergency Purchase MFR201906 This is a request from the Fire Department to purchase two off road specialty vehicles 4X4(UTV's) as an emergency purchase in an effort to prevent delays in the pre -build of the UTV's so that they will be available on time for one of the largest events (Ultra Music Fest) within our City. The dealer requires a purchase order no later than February 7. 2019 in order to deliver the UTV's to the Fire Department by March 20`I', which would only give us one week before the Ultra Music Festival event takes place. The immediate procurement of these UTV's is essential for us to provide the highest level of emergency medical services and fire suppression for the citizens and visitors of the City of Miami now and in the future during these types of events. These condensed. large crowd events make it difficult for large apparatus to efficiently make their way through crowds and uneven terrain. however, small UTV's that are equipped with medical and fire equipment is the perfect solution to' navigate through these large crowds to mitigate various emergencies. Being prepared is key anytime there is a potential for tragedy. We currently have six medical carts within our fleet but the additional two would be equipped with both fire suppression and prehospital care capabilities. Our current fleet of six were utilized during last year's Ultra festival. which covered about 28 acres. but now the City of Miami Fire Department is tasked with coverage of twice that size at the new location. We would like to be completely prepared for this mission. and the additional two UTV's appropriately equipped would greatly assist us with successfully carrying out our mission. The City of Miami Fire Department is respectfully requesting to purchase these two off road specialty vehicles from the ASAP Off Road p'ecialty Vehicles Dealer, which totals $57,277 under the GSA Contract as an emergency purchase to prevent any further procurement delays. Please advise if you need further information. Approved N/A (Execute s by the DCM) Emilio .fit f, City Manager Approved Appro oli, Deputy City Manager Christopher Rose.
