CITY COUNCIL STAFF REPORT
Agenda Item No. 11
January 23, 2007
TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: Fire Department
Steve Lewis, 644 -3101, slewis @city.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: Purchase of 2007 Junior Lifeguard Program Uniforms
RECOMMENDATION:
Award the 2007 City of Newport Beach Junior Lifeguard Program uniform contract to
Quiksilver /Roxy, for the total cost of $150,100 (excluding tax).
BACKGROUND:
The nine suppliers that were invited to participate in the bid process for the 2007 Junior
Lifeguard uniform contract either participated in previous years, or requested to be
included for 2007. This year's process was unique as we had more interest than
previous years. The bids were Quiksilver /Roxy for $150,100, Hawaiian Islands
Creations for $143,000 (excluding girl's suits, approximately a $10,000 additional cost),
Hurley's bid, although lowest on face value, was non - responsive to the bid process.
Paul Frank Industries bid was $153,145. All four of these suppliers can provide what we
consider acceptable 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.
We are confident that Quiksilver /Roxy 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.
