Background:
Fire Rescue staff has requested quotes and availability of the 1860 N95 masks to replenish the Department of Health’s stock which were used over the last several months. No other vendors could fulfill the request. Items must be received no later than 12/30/2020 due to CARES funding being used for this purchase.
Approve the emergency certification due to the lack of availability and ability to meet the CARES funding deadline of 12/30/2020.
This emergency purchase is exempt from the County's competitive bidding requirements pursuant to Section 22.3-302(16) of the Alachua County Procurement Code.
