__________________________________________________________________
1. Description of Proposed Contract and Cooperative Agreement
The Office of Contracting and Procurement on behalf of Fire and Emergency Medical Services,
intends to order tractor drawn aerial ladder trucks from FWD Seagrave Holdings, LP
(“Seagrave”), by Contract No. CWW103202 (“Contract”) pursuant to the Houston-Galveston
Area Council (“HGAC”) Cooperative Agreement No. FS12-19 (“HGACBuy”) with Seagrave.
The District proposes to award Seagrave an indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity Contract for
the tractor drawn aerial ladder trucks (“Trucks”). The list price of each Truck is $2,228,738.00
in addition to a $2,000.00 per order HGACBuy order processing charge. For this order, the
District is receiving a multi-vehicle purchase discount of $143,773.00 per vehicle and adding
some additional allowances, such as a 5-year maintenance program and delivery engineer and
training. Due to this discount and allowances, the per unit rate for this order is $1,982,597. 1 The
District is obligated to purchase a minimum of two Trucks and may purchase up to a maximum
of five Trucks. The base term of the contract will be for three years from the date of award with
no option years.

This final amount includes various published and un-published options to the Trucks, allowed by the HGACBuy
agreement.

2. Procurement Process
Under D.C. Official Code §2-354.11, the District is authorized to participate in cooperative
purchasing agreements with any state, county or municipal jurisdiction for goods or services. In
addition, this section requires the cooperative purchasing agreement to be in accordance with, “to
the extent practicable”, all laws and rules of the District with respect to contracting, and “shall be
consistent with laws and rules of the United States government that apply specifically to the
District.”
Through HCAGBuy, HGAC entered into a cooperative purchasing agreement with Seagrave for
fire service apparatus including aerials, wildland fire, pumper, and tanker apparatus for a term
from December 1, 2019, and extended through multiple modifications until November 30, 2023.
Seagrave submitted to the District a HGACBuy Contract Pricing Worksheet along with vehicle
specifications and additional options. The District reviewed the specifications and determined
that the proposed Trucks meet FEMS’s requirements, and the price is reasonable. The District
also determined that Seagrave is a responsible contractor. By a signed memo authorizing the use
of a Cooperative Agreement, dated May 26, 2023, the Interim Chief Procurement Officer’s
designee determined that the Delivery Order was in accordance with the authorization to
purchase under a cooperative purchasing agreement and that the procurement was in the best
interest of the District.
3. Legal Review
By email dated May 15, 2023, you requested that this Office review for legal sufficiency the
proposed Contract with Seagrave. During our review we requested revisions to the documents,
which OCP provided. Accordingly, we have reviewed the proposed Contract to Seagrave and it
is approved for legal sufficiency.
We note that in accordance with D.C. Official Code § 1-204.51(b)(2)(A), and Section 202 of the
Procurement Practices Reform Act of 2010, D.C. Law 18-371, D.C. Official Code § 2.352.02,
effective April 8, 2011, the Mayor must submit to Council for approval this contract action for
over one million dollars.
