Title
A Resolution Approving the Purchase of Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) for the Foley Fire Department
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)
We have a critical need to replace our self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) due to the manufacturer of our current units stopping production, support, parts, and service for them. We applied for a DHS AFG grant in the last grant cycle to fund the replacement, but we were unsuccessful with a grant award. Our Fire Ad Valorem Fund account currently has sufficient funds to make this purchase, and we can reevaluate the future plans for that account at the next budget planning cycle. Therefore, no impact to the General Fund would be felt in this FY. We have already submitted a letter of intent to purchase after Council approval on 10/21 in order to secure a discounted price that was available through 10/31. The purchase would include 54 MSA SCBA units and 60 individual face pieces as well as required accessories for a total cost of $469,564 through Sunbelt Fire using the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Contract # 011824-MSS.
