CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 11
February 24, 2009
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Fire Department
Steve Lewis, 644 -3101, slewis @nbfd.net
SUBJECT: Purchase of 2009 Junior Lifeguard Program Uniforms
RECOMMENDATION:
Award the 2009 City of Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program uniform purchase to
Hurley, for the total cost of $171,750 plus tax.
BACKGROUND:
The eleven suppliers that were invited to participate in the bid process for the 2009
Junior Lifeguard uniform purchase, either participated in previous years, or requested to
be included for 2009. Three vendors, Hurley, Toes on the Nose, and HIC were
responsive to the bidding process. All three of these suppliers can provide what we
consider excellent quality for what our participants have come to expect from our Junior
Lifeguard Program. Through an established review process, we carefully looked at
sample uniforms, the quote, a reference check, and past performance dealing with the
City and our Program. Hurley's bid was lowest in price and met or exceeded all of our
requirements.
We . are confident that Hurley will provide the Junior Lifeguard Program with a
contemporary, durable product that will satisfy our participants and their discerning
parents.
Funding Availability:
Self- funded through Junior Lifeguard Program registration fees.
