Summary of Request:
Mendocino County Department of Public Health, Emergency Preparedness Unit is seeking a one-time purchase of a Qualitative and Quantitative Fit Testing Machine (Porta Count Model 8408 Respirator Fit Tester) with Five (5) Year Repair and Servicing Warranty from Distributor, TSI Incorporated in the Amount of $39,830.90, to include taxes and fees to replace outdated equipment.
In 2010, Public Health purchased two TSI N95 fit testing machines. These machines are now 12 years old and in need of replacement. Replacing these units directly with the manufacturer grants a discount of $1,500.00 per machine that will not be available from any other vendor.
Additionally, the units require annual cleaning and calibration in order to retain OSHA compliance; this service is provided by the manufacturer, TSI Incorporated and is not provided by any other vendor due to proprietary equipment on the machines. Failure to replace these units will result in Public Health being out of compliance with OSHA requirements for ensuring N95 respirators are properly fitted to minimize leakage.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Return to staff for alternative handling.
