RECOMMENDED MOTION:
Move to approve a resolution declaring as surplus property obsolete self contained breathing apparatus
which have been removed from service; approving the sale of said equipment to HAZ-CO in exchange
for fire academy training; and authorizing the City Manager to negotiate and execute all necessary
documents.
POLICY ISSUE(S):
Fiscal
BACKGROUND:
The City of Paris Fire Department has many obsolete self contained breathing apparatus
("SCBA"), which have been removed from service and are no longer being used by the Paris Fire
Department.
These old SCBA units no longer meet the NFPA requirements, are no longer supported by the
manufacturer (MSA) for parts and service, and are not allowed for emergency incident mitigation. The
Paris Fire Department has recently transitioned from this old-style equipment to the new style Scott
SCBA's. These old MSA SCBA's have no continued value or use for PFD and represent a storage
problem.
The old MSA SCBA units have very limited or no value on the open market and should,
therefore, be declared as surplus property.
HAZ-CO, a fire training academy in Grayson County, Texas can still legally uses this type of
SCBA for training purposes. HAZ-CO has offered free fire academy training for three new recruits
(approximately $6,000 value) or other training as needed in return for the City's donation of our entire
MSA SCBA inventary.
Declaring this SCBA inventory as surplus and exchanging it for training maximizes the return on
investment for the City.
