Analysis
The replacement of the Fire Department's SCBA (Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus) is a planned project for FY2014. The fill station is currently rated for 4500 psi and needs to be retrofitted to accommodate the higher pressure of 5,500 psi of the new SCBA.
It is the Fire Department's recommendation to upgrade the current fill station to the higher psi. The cost of the upgrade through August Industries, Inc is $7,920. August Industries, Inc., has demonstrated they are a sole source provider.
Financial Consideration
Funding for purchasing replacement SCBA fill station regulators at a cost of $7,920 from August Industries, Inc of Carrollton, TX is available by approving an ordinance transferring and appropriating from the unobligated fund balance in the Fire Capital Projects Fund balance (400591) to WO #01300403 (FY13 Airpaks).
