APPROVE THE PURCHASE OF MINE SAFETY APPLIANCE (MSA) SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS (SCBAS), BLUETOOTH ENHANCEMENTS AND INVENTORY TRACKING PROGRAM AS PART OF THE SUPPLEMENTAL PROCESS. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the fire department’s $789,700.68 purchase of 92 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatuses (SCBAs), Bluetooth upgrade to radios and an inventory tracking program; and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute any contracts or other necessary documentation, including budget transfers and authority, to carry out the intent of the purchases. PURPOSE: Finalize the purchase of 92 SCBAs, portable radio interoperability upgrades, and an inventory tracking program for the newly purchased assets and other assets within the department. This purchase was funded from the supplemental process and was spaced over the last 3 years (FY14 $300,000, FY15 $300,000 and FY16 $322,000) during the supplemental request process. Council previously approved a total expenditure of $922,000 to purchase fire department SCBAs, SCBA parts and an air compressor. The acquisition of new SCBAs was delayed so that funding could be evenly spread out over a three-year period. The fire department is requesting additional items of Bluetooth upgrade to radios and an inventory tracking system as part of the purchase. (Tim Wayne, Deputy Fire Chief)
