| | | | | | | | | EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: | In FY23, Sugar Land Fire-EMS (SLFE) had multiple retirements/promotions and an extremely successful recruiting campaign that resulted in hiring 13 new firefighters and 10 more at the beginning of FY24 to fill existing vacancies. Under certain circumstances, existing gear can be reused by SLFE; however, new gear often must be purchased to ensure a proper fit. In addition, to meet state mandates, the replacement schedule for current employees' existing gear is quickly approaching its end-of-life period, resulting in the need to replace 120 sets of firefighting coats and pants.
In accordance with City Policy PU-104, purchases greater than $50,000.00 would require City Council approval. The cost breakdown is estimated as follows:
