specifications in many areas. A letter from the Fire Chief is
attached which details the deficiencies, many of which have
safety implications. Jack Jennings is considered the lower
bidder when compared to Quest by virtue of Arkansas Preference.

FROM: RUBIN W. WEBB, FIRE CHIEF
SUBJECT: BID NO. 92239
DATE: MAY 27, 1992
A sample of turn -out gear was submitted to our office by
Body - Guard.
Members of my staff compared the sample to the
specifications and found the following deficiencies.
COAT:
The coat shell Is made of one body panel and not of three,
as specified. The coat length is less than 31 inches in
length.
The sleeves are hemmed with leather as opposed to Nomex
fabric as we asked.
The collar is not constructed of five layers as specified.
There is no external wristlet.
The coat facing measures 25' as opposed to the 32" as
specified.
The pockets on the coat have metal drain holes. We asked
that the corners of the pockets be cut at a diagonal to
allow for water drainage.
The F. R. pile does not extend to 1/2' of the pocket edges
and the pockets are not lined with moisture barrier
material.
The inside pocket located on the Inside liner has a serge
stitch on the edges. Serge stitching was stated as not
being acceptable.
The edges of the lining are finished with binding and not
turned and stitched as we specified.

PANTS:
M M
The pants are constructed of two separate body panels and
not of four.
The waist area of the pant Is not reinforced on the inside
with an additional layer of outer shell fabric.
The take -up strap is leather and not of outer shell
material.
The trousers do not have a cuff of outer shell material.
It does not seem that the external fly has a moisture
barrier sandwiched between the two outer shell pieces. The
layers are too thin in order to have the adequate five
layers.
The internal fly flap is not constructed of two layers of
outer shell fabric but only of one.
The lower pocket corners shall be stitched with a diagonal
opening for water drainage. Body Guard uses metal rivets.
The Ilner and moisture barrier is not sewn as specified;
instead, a binding is used.
Most of these deficiencies carry a safety factor and should
not be diminished .
We recommend award of Bid No. 92239 to Jack Jenning Fire and
Safety by virtue of Arkansas Preference. A requisition is
attached.
If you have any questions, please call me.
