SPECIFICATIONS
*Honeywell is PFA’s Preferred Brand for Bunker Gear, and has been verified by PFA to
meet the following product specification. Any “equivalent” brands submitted must meet
the following product specification as a minimum:
To be eligible to be awarded bid, participants will supply Poudre Fire Authority (PFA) with one
coat and one pant of PPE ensemble in the specification requested by PFA. This PPE will be used
by PFA for the purpose of evaluation, firefighting, and wear testing. Equipment will be returned
after use at owner’s request. This PPE will be manufactured in the United States. All firefighting
PPE sold in the United States must meet standards set by the National Fire Protection
Association. The NFPA standard is very comprehensive; however, it is not the only way to
measure a protective ensemble’s ability to provide protection. The ensemble supplied to PFA will
meet current NFPA 1971 standards as of 2013. This PPE shall also comply with NFPA 1851
Standards as of 2014. This PPE shall be assembled according to the specifications outlined here
in order to be considered in this bid for purchase. PFA reserves the right to determine compliance
and will be the final deciding factor in accepting the bid. The PFA has determined the only
acceptable choice of materials. Any substitution of materials shall be grounds for immediate
disqualification of bid without further consideration.
The PFA has determined that this specification shall represent the minimum requirements to
which all offerings shall be compared.
Due to the fact that firefighting is a life threatening activity, only trained Fire Department personnel
with specific knowledge in the area of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) shall be allowed to
make the final decision on the selection of the appropriate product to serve the Fire Department’s
needs.
Thermal Protection Performance (TPP) of not less than 35 for the entire garment. This
references protection from outside thermal heat transferring into the firefighter.
Total Heat Loss (THL) of not less than 270. This is the ability of the garment to breathe
and let heat and sweat out from the inside.
Conductive Compression Heat Resistance (CCHR) of not less than 32 wet and 40 dry.
This is the ability to resist heat transfer when compressed to the body by the SCBA straps
and bending of joints.
CCHR in the Knee area not less than 100 wet and 100 dry. This high a number is needed
because firefighters crawl into burning buildings, receiving tremendous amounts of
thermal stress to the knee area.
Additional thermal protection, such as dead air spacing, will be placed in the shoulders,
across the upper back of the coat and full length of the arms minus bend point of elbow.
Documentation of TPP, THL and CCHR in the areas with Additional thermal protection will
be supplied.
All participants in this bid will supply UL laboratory testing documentation stating that PPE
meets or exceeds TPP, THL and CCHR requirements stated.
Labels on Coat and Pant will have Bar Code to allow for automated tracking system input.
Delivery time on all orders shall be six weeks or less from time of the measuring.

CONFIDENTIALITY
IN CONNECTION WITH SERVICES provided to the City of Fort Collins (the “City”), as agent, on
behalf of the Poudre Fire Authority (the “PFA”) pursuant to this Agreement (the “Agreement”), the
Service Provider hereby acknowledges that it has been informed that the City has established
policies and procedures with regard to the handling of confidential information and other sensitive
materials.
In consideration of access to certain information, data and material (hereinafter individually and
collectively, regardless of nature, referred to as “information”) that are the property of and/or relate
to the City and/or PFA or their employees, customers or suppliers, which access is related to the
performance of services that the Service Provider has agreed to perform, the Service Provider
hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:
That information that has or will come into its possession or knowledge in connection with the
performance of services for the City and/or PFA may be confidential and/or proprietary. The
Service Provider agrees to treat as confidential (a) all information that is owned by the City and/or
PFA, or that relates to the business of the City and/or PFA, or that is used by the City and/or PFA
in carrying on business, and (b) all information that is proprietary to a third party (including but not
limited to customers and suppliers of the City and/or PFA). The Service Provider shall not disclose
any such information to any person not having a legitimate need-to-know for purposes authorized
by the City and/or PFA. Further, the Service Provider shall not use such information to obtain any
economic or other benefit for itself, or any third party, except as specifically authorized by the City
and/or PFA.
The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Service Provider understands that it shall have
no obligation under this Agreement with respect to information and material that (a) becomes
generally known to the public by publication or some means other than a breach of duty of this
Agreement, or (b) is required by law, regulation or court order to be disclosed, provided that the
request for such disclosure is proper and the disclosure does not exceed that which is required.
In the event of any disclosure under (b) above, the Service Provider shall furnish a copy of this
Agreement to anyone to whom it is required to make such disclosure and shall promptly advise
the City and/or PFA in writing of each such disclosure.
In the event that the Service Provider ceases to perform services for the City and/or PFA, or the
City and/or PFA so requests for any reason, the Service Provider shall promptly return to the City
and/or PFA any and all information described hereinabove, including all copies, notes and/or
summaries (handwritten or mechanically produced) thereof, in its possession or control or as to
which it otherwise has access.
The Service Provider understands and agrees that the City and/or PFA’s remedies at law for a
breach of the Service Provider’s obligations under this Confidentiality Agreement may be
inadequate and that the City and/or PFA shall, in the event of any such breach, be entitled to seek
equitable relief (including without limitation preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and
specific performance) in addition to all other remedies provided hereunder or available at law.
