Title
Adopt Resolution #20-262 Authorizing the Emergency Purchase of a Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) compressor.
Purpose/Background:
The purpose of this case is to seek City Council approval for the emergency purchase of a Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) compressor. The current compressor has recently failed after 17 years of service at Station 2. An SCBA compressor is a multi-stage high pressure compressor system used to compress ambient air for use in SCBA breathing air system that is worn by firefighters in the fire-safety and hazardous materials environments. The compressor also serves as the every day compressor for Station 2 maintenance and workshop needs. Staff obtained two (2) quotes for a replacement, with the lowest bid from Alex Air Apparatus for $21,950.00 plus $500,00 for delivery and installation.
Funding Source:
Funding for the purchase of the Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) compressor will come from the Equipment Revolving Fund.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the emergency purchase of the Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) compressor in order to provide immediate delivery and replace the existing failed compressor.
Action:
Motion to adopt Resolution #20- 262 authorizing emergency purchase of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) compressor.
