Explanation:
The provision of emergency services by the Department requires the purchase and maintenance of medical supplies, fire equipment and janitorial supplies vital to its operation in accordance with the Department’s State of Florida Emergency Medical License.
Broward County Sheriff’s Office (“BSO”) has established a program to allow governmental entities to purchase medical supplies, fire equipment and janitorial supplies directly from the Sheriff at their cost without mark ups or handling fees. BSO utilizes the same Florida Regional EMS protocols as our emergency service units and BSO supplies are delivered within 24 hours.
BSO has been supplying the Department with medical supplies, fire equipment, and janitorial supplies since at least 2016 and the Department desires to continue to participate in such a program.

Funding for the Blanket Purchase Agreement will be available in Fiscal Year 2026 Operating Budget in account numbers 001.215101.52200.552320.000000.000.000, 001.215101.52200.546310.000000.000.000, and 001.215101.52200.552310.000000.000.000, subject to approval and adoption by the City Commission.
