BACKGROUND The Fire Department has tested several brands of fire protective clothing over the past several years.

The clothing is made of fire retardant materials to provide protection from burns and exposure to hazardous chemicals during firefighting operations, and provides protection from blood-borne pathogens. The Globe clothing tested has proven superior in performance to that of other manufacturers. Casco Industries, Inc., of Houston is the exclusive and sole source vendor for Globe Manufacturing in Texas and surrounding states. FUNDING SOURCE General Fund. RECOMMENDATION Approval of resolution. RESOLUTION NO. BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BEAUMONT: THAT the City Council hereby approves the award of a contract to Casco Industries, Inc., of Houston, Texas, the sole local source for Globe Manufacturing Co. equipment, for the purchase of an estimated quantity of 67 sets of fire protective clothing for firefighters at $2,250 per set for an estimated total cost of $150,750; and, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the City Manager be and he is hereby authorized to execute a Contract with Casco Industries, Inc., of Houston, Texas, for the purposes described herein. PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 12th day of January, 2016. - Mayor Becky Ames - c BEAUMONT TEXAS TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Laura Clark, Chief Financial Officer MEETING DATE: January 12, 2016 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution approving the award of a contract for refurbishing and remounting one (1) ambulance body to Frazer, Ltd., of Bellaire, Texas in the estimated amount of $64,925. BACKGROUND Beaumont EMS operates ambulances consisting of an ambulance box module on heavy-duty pickup chassis. The box modules, when periodically refurbished, have a longer service life than the chassis on which they are mounted. New modules cost approximately $150,000 each. It is therefore cost effective to refurbish and upgrade the existing modules to the standard of the new module than to replace them. Replacement chassis and refurbishment and remounts are requested in the City's budget process. The Fleet Superintendent evaluated the request and recommended this work due to the age and service damage of the existing module. Pricing for this contract is obtained through the Houston -Galveston Area Council (H -GAC) Cooperative Purchasing Program. H -GAC is a cooperative purchasing association providing cities and political subdivisions with the means to purchase specialized equipment at volume pricing. H -GAC complies with the State of Texas procurement statutes. The price includes the H -GAC administrative Fee of $600. Warranty and service is provided by Frazer Ltd., for the lifetime of the ambulance box module while in possession of the original owner. FUNDING SOURCE Capital Reserve Fund.

PASSED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of Beaumont this the 12th day of January, 2016. - Mayor Becky Ames - u TEXAS TO: City Council FROM: Kyle Hayes, City Manager PREPARED BY: Laura Clark, Chief Financial Officer( MEETING DATE: January 12, 2016 REQUESTED ACTION: Council consider a resolution approving an agreement with Richard James, III, and The Sports Society for American Health to hold the 2016 Gusher Marathon on February 27, 2016. BACKGROUND In recent years it has become very popular for organizations to hold fun runs, 5K runs, color runs and marathons for fundraisers or to promote health and wellness in the city. The Sports Society for American Health held its first Gusher Marathon in May of 2010 and has held one annually in March since that time. This has become a highly attended event that brings participants in from around the region. The marathon, like many others, is not a City -sponsored event and as such any costs incurred for police traffic control, street cleanup, street barricading, etc., performed by employees of the City of Beaumont on overtime are billed to the organization hosting the event. The route for the marathon and the number of participants requires extensive traffic control and has resulted in approximately $40,000 in costs annually. Since the first marathon, payment of this amount has been challenging for The Sports Society for American Health. As a result, the City requires a deposit of 50% of the estimated costs. The attached agreement allows for the balance to be paid in full by April 12, 2016 or for special payment arrangements with final payment due on or before July 12, 2016. City Staff has met with Mr. James and in an effort to make the marathon cost effective for him, has determined it is best for the City's Emergency Management team to manage the event which includes providing and setting up all of the required barricading and message boards as well as manning the intersections and picking up the barricades. With these additional services provided by the City, the estimate for the 2016 Gusher Marathon is $42,148 with a down payment required of $21,074 on or before February 12, 2016. An agreement is attached for your review. Page 2 Gusher Marathon 2016 January 12, 2016 FUNDING SOURCE None. RECOMMENDATION Approval of resolution. RESOLUTION NO.
