PUBLIC NOTICE

COOPERATIVE PROCUREMENT

Notice is hereby given that the City of Albany Fire Department intends to enter into a contract

with Hughes Fire Equipment, of Eugene, Oregon, the authorized regional distributor for Pierce

Manufacturing, Inc., for the purchase of one Pierce Enforcer fire engine for approximately

$1,044,639.00. The purchase will be made using a permissive cooperative contract

established by National Purchasing Partners, dba NPPGov, in accordance with ORS

279A.215, providing competitively solicited pricing and ensuring the City receives best value.

A written request for approval of the proposed cooperative procurement was presented to the

local Contract Review Board on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. City Council. The

procurement was approved by Resolution No. 7495.

By utilizing the NPPGov competitively solicited cooperative contract, the City will avoid the

time and expense required to conduct its own procurement while still benefiting from a

thorough, transparent, and competitive evaluation process. NPPGov issued a request for

proposals for firefighting apparatus in November 2019, resulting in a contract award to Pierce

Manufacturing, Inc. Hughes Fire Equipment is the sole authorized distributor for Pierce

apparatus in this region and will serve as the contracting entity for the City’s purchase.

Leveraging this cooperative contract will allow the City to restore reserve fire apparatus

capacity following the removal of a fire engine from service after it was totaled during an

emergency response incident in July 2024. The purchase will also support the Fire

Department’s goal of maintaining a standardized fleet configuration, improving operational

reliability, reducing maintenance demands on aging apparatus, and ensuring the department

maintains effective emergency response readiness.

Any person may submit comments specific to this notice within seven days of the date of this

public notice. The protest shall provide a detailed statement of the legal and factual grounds

to support the protest, demonstrate how the procurement process is contrary to law, and the

relief requested. Protests shall be handled pursuant to OAR 137-046-0470 and ORS 279A.225.

Written protests must be delivered to Diane Murzynski, Contracts & Procurement Officer, in

the Finance Department of the City of Albany no later than 2:00 p.m., Thursday, March 19,

2026. Written protests received after the closing date and time are late and will not be

considered. Protests must be submitted by email to procurement@albanyoregon.gov.

This notice is given in accordance with provisions of the Oregon Revised Statutes, 279A.200

to 279A.225, and Oregon Administrative Rules, 137-046-0400 to 137-046-0470.

DATED THIS 12TH DAY OF MARCH 2026.

Diane M. Murzynski, NIGP-CPP, CPPO, CPPB

Contracts & Procurement Officer
