City of Calgary has awarded LaCrosse Footwear a supply and delivery contract for the Gunnison Bunker Boot for the Calgary Fire Department. The City of Calgary contract commences immediately for a one-year term with nine optional years. The first order is expected to be fulfilled as early as December 31, 2006. Over 1,000 firefighters staff the Calgary Fire Department, located in the largest city in Alberta, Canada.
The Gunnison Bunker Boot is manufactured in the Company's ISO-9001 certified manufacturing facility, located in Portland, Oregon. LaCrosse has been awarded several quality contracts this year, most recently with the City of Chicago to supply the Phoenix Bunker Boot.
“We are proud to receive such great support of our new fire boots,” said Joseph P. Schneider, president and CEO of LaCrosse Footwear. “We build our fire boots with leading-edge technologies and materials to support men and
women who put their lives on the line. They want and deserve the best equipment available. We are honored to receive this contract and further grow this area of our business.”
