Su6ject: Recommendation for SCBA Purchase
Date: July 08, 2004
We have received the new SCBA bids as received on Tuesday, July 06, 2004. The low bid was
actually below the projected cost, so our total expense will be less. It is very important that we
complete this SCBA transition process so as to ensure that our personnel are utilizing safe and
serviceable equipment. We propose the following:
1. Complete the pwchase of 24 Scott Brand SCBA units (NxG2) with 22 spare (30) minute
SCBA cylinders utilizing funding from this fiscal year (03-04). As we have discussed
previously, we are utilizing $40,600.00 from the Minor Apparatus fund, redirecting
$6,000.00 from our Training-Tuition fund, and redirecting $34,000.00 from Capital
Outlay - Machinery Tools and Equipment (for Thermal Ixnaging Cameras). This avails a
$80,600.00 total for purchasing SCBA and equipment this fiscal year. Total purchase
this year:
a. 24 Scott (NxG2) SCBA units @$2,865.00/unit 68,760.00
22 spare (30) minute cylinders @$518.00/cyl. 11,396.00
$ 80,156.00
2. Adjust the SCBA funding as listed in the proposed (04-05) budget to reflect the purchase
of the remainder of the SCBA units, equipment, and training needs.
This represents a
reduction in the proposed budget of $30,880.00. The associated cost for the pwchase of
the remainder of necessary equipment and training are as follows:
a. 32 Scott (NxG2) SCBA units @$2,865.00/unit =
$ 91,680.00
30 spare (30) minute cylinders @$518.00/cyl. _
$ 15,540.00
10 spare regulators w/Quick Connect @$590.00 =
$ 5,900.00
10 spare face masks @$170.00 =
$ 1,700.00
1 RIT- Pac II (Rapid Intervention Team) @$1,500.00 =
$ 1,500.00
Service Tech training/travel =
$ 2,500.00
$118,820.00
