The proposed Modification No. M001 to Contract No. CW129021 with Witmer Public Safety Group, Inc. seeks to exercise the first option year of the contract for a not-to-exceed amount of $3,000,000, covering the period from May 7, 2026, to May 6, 2027. This modification allows Witmer to continue supplying essential traffic safety equipment, personal protective equipment (PPE), technical rescue gear, and operational support products to the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department. The contract focuses on enhancing operational effectiveness through kitted PPE solutions, wildland gear, custom helmet accessories, training aids, and incident lighting systems.

The bill introduces a new subsection under Section 3, Price Schedule, which specifies the estimated price of $3,000,000 for the specialized PPE and technical rescue gear. It also modifies Section 6 to permit the District to extend the task order for one additional year, provided that written notice is given to the contractor at least thirty days before the contract's expiration. The total duration of the task order, including extensions, is capped at two years. The District is exercising the option for the first year, while all other terms and conditions of the original contract remain unchanged.
