The Lee Board of County Commissioners is planning to approve the purchase of technical rescue equipment for USAR Task Force 6. This purchase includes a wide range of Paratech Technical Rescue equipment and accessories such as base plates, rails, brace assemblies, controllers, regulators, air hoses, distribution modules, and rescue cushion systems. The equipment is intended to improve the task force's ability to handle structural collapse, disaster response, and other complex rescue situations. The total cost for this equipment is $132,549, which will be reimbursed by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. This item is currently under review and is planned for approval on May 19, 2026. The project involves the procurement and delivery of specialized rescue gear, which may include logistics and handling services. Local suppliers and distributors of technical rescue equipment, safety gear, and related accessories could find opportunities by engaging with the county or task force early in the process, before final specifications and ordering are complete.
