SUBJECT
Consider adoption of an ordinance of the City of Denton, a Texas home-rule municipal corporation,
authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to utilize a contract through the City of Frisco Contract
Number 1901-036 for the acquisition of self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for the Fire
Department; providing for the expenditure of funds therefor; and providing an effective date (File 7124 –
awarded to Hoyt Enterprises, Inc., dba Hoyt Breathing Air Products, in the amount of $600,000).
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a respiratory protective device worn by firefighters to
provide breathable air in toxic and hazardous environments. The Fire Department began using SCBAs
manufactured by Scott Safety Corporation in the year 2000. Since then, the manufacturer has issued many
updates to accommodate safety requirements that have been instituted by the National Fire Protection
Association.
On March 5, 2019, the City of Frisco awarded contracts for the maintenance and replacement of SCBAs to
the lowest responsible bidder meeting specification, Hoyt Breathing Air Products. The equipment awarded
by the City of Frisco meets the City of Denton Fire Department’s replacement criteria. The Fire Department
performs approximately 100 percent of the SCBAs flow tests in-house. When the test reveals a need, the
department will utilize Hoyt Breathing Air Products as a resource for warranty repairs and replacement
parts. This will allow the City of Denton Fire Department to maintain the use of current safety appropriate
respiratory protection during firefighting and rescue responses.
Pricing obtained through the City of Frisco has been competitively bid and meets the statutory requirements
of Texas Local Government Code 271.102.

On April 2, 2013, Council approved the interlocal agreement with the City of Frisco (Ordinance 2013-
