Purchase Request Processing
Finance/Purchasing staff will demonstrate the ability
to coordinate and track emergency purchase requests from the ECC, or work cooperatively
with their remote office.
POINTS OF REVIEW:
- Did purchasing staff document all purchasing requests and outcomes? Somewhat.
The only documentation provided to the Logistics section were message forms and unit logs.
They did use both of these for documentation. However, a resource status board is a great
tool for keeping the ECC posted on where their resources are, and also an ICS 201 is
another great tool.
- Did purchasing staff utilize existing vendor records when available in order to
expedite purchases? No. The Logistics personnel noticed right away that
they did not have any vendor information except for the phone books. They indicated that
they would be bringing their vendor city and county contractor records in the future. A
resource guide is another handy document, but takes a lot of time to compile and update on
a regular basis.
- Were purchasing requests prioritized to reflect emergency planning objectives?
No. This was not done due to two major points. One, there were never
any planning objectives set for the ECC. Two, Logistics was left out of the internal
communication loop. If they are not told what the priorities are (such as in the foam
needed for the fire) they can not meet them.
