Item 4J Purchase of SCBAs CITY OF
SOUTHLAKE
MEMORANDUM
December 16, 2015
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Michael Starr, Fire Chief
Subject: Item 4J, Replacement of current SCBAs
Action
Requested: Approve the purchase of Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus (SCBAs) and associated equipment for a total
cost not to exceed $275,000
Background
Information: The purpose of this item is to seek Council approval of the
purchase of 30 Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA),
100 SCBA 5500 psi 45-min carbon cylinders, 65 AV-3000
SCBA masks,1 Revolveair charging station, 2 Pak Tracker
Handheld Receivers with extended range, 2 truck chargers
for the Pak Trackers and a SEMS II USB Gateway. The
purchase is part of the approved FY2015-2016 budget and is
recommended as part of our Southlake Fire Department
Equipment Replacement Plan. The purchase will replace
the SCOTT air packs, bottles and masks that are in current
use with newer models that incorporate new safety features
bringing our Department into compliance with revised NFPA
1981 and NFPA 1982. These requirements include:
• Increased facepiece lens durability requirements for
high temperature, flame and radiant heat
• Increased voice intelligibility requirements
• End-of-Service Time Indicator, or low air alarm,
moving from 25% to 33% of the cylinder's operating
pressure
• Universal sound requirements for PASS devices
regardless of manufacturer.
The addition to these safety features the Pak Tracker system
will increase firefighter safety while working in hazardous
environments. The Pak Tracker system allows incident
commanders to accurately account for the volume of air
available to crews working in hazardous environments. This
allows for more accurate incident planning and the efficient
rotation of crews. Finally, the SCOTT Revolveair station will
serve as a back-up fill station for our current unit at the West
DPS facility. The current fill station is 22 years old.
Financial
Considerations: The SCBAs and associated equipment cost is no more than
a total of$275,000. The SCBA's and associated equipment
were requested and approved as part of the FY'16 budget.
Once approved, the purchase will be made from Hoyt
Breathing Air Products through a cooperative bid with the
Frisco Fire Department.
Financial Impact: SCBAs are anticipated to have an annual maintenance cost
of$3,185.00 for testing and preventative maintenance.
Cylinders must be hydrostatically tested once every 5 years
at a cost of$38.00 per bottle. There is no change in annual
maintenance costs from our current system and this
maintenance is already budgeted for in our previous and
current FY15-16 Operations Budget. Masks and SCBAs
have a 10 year warrantee against manufacturer's defects
and all electronics are warranted for 5 years.
Alternatives: If the purchase is denied the Fire Department will continue to
utilize the air packs, bottles and masks that are in date and
remain in service. This will however, decrease the
availability of SCBA equipment to utilize in the event of an
emergency incident and put the department at risk of being
found non-compliant with NFPA 1981 and 1982.

Documents: Proposal from Hoyt Breathing Air Products. See quote

Staff Recommendation: Approve the purchase of Self Contained Breathing
Apparatus (SCBAs) and associated equipment for a total cost not to exceed
$275,000
