BACKGROUND The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the availability of grant funding for Fiscal Year 2009 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program (AFGP). AFGP assists rural, urban, and suburban fire departments throughout the United States. This program seeks to support organizations that lack the tools and resources necessary to effectively protect the health and safety of the public and their emergency response personnel with respect to fire and all other hazards. The 2009 AFGP funding is available for the following grant program areas: 1. Operations and Firefighter Safety 2. Firefighting Vehicle Acquisition 3. Regional Application AFGP will not fund operating budgets or construction. The on-line application period opened on April 15, 2009 and is scheduled to close on May 20, 2009. The performance period for the grant will be twelve (12) months from the date of the award. Previous AFGP grant awards have been used by the city to fund a wellness and fitness program, purchase EMS equipment, communication, and fund other purchases. For FY 2008 AFGP, Fire applied for wildland equipment (fire shelters), vehicle exhaust extraction systems, and traffic signal preemption system (regional application). The regional application was denied on December 23, 2008 and DHS awarded the city funding for the wildland equipment and vehicle exhaust extraction systems. In FY 2009 AFGP, Fire is requesting authorization to submit the on-line application under the Fire Operations and Firefighter Safety category (attachment A). Fire is requesting funding for the purchase of 25 self-contained breathing apparatus units, 200 cylinders, and 200 face masks. These items are part of our on-going replacement programs and will be required to be funded in the next two years. On May 12, 2009, the Fire Department attended the Grants Ad Hoc Committee to discuss the submittal of the 2009 AFGP on-line grant application. The Grants Committee recommended that the Fire Department proceed with the submittal of the on-line grant application. Also, to submit a request to the Mayor and Common Council ratifying the grant application submittal. I FINANCIAL IMPACT The total amount needed to purchase the needed equipment is $351,350. Through the grant, Department of Homeland Security will fund $281,080 (80%) and the City is required to match 20% of the cost. The total grant match is $70,270. The match will need to be funded by the General Fund in fiscal year 2009/2010; if the grant is approved.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: The San Bernardino City Fire Department (SBCFD) is requesting funding assistance maintain compliance with the department's Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). The request is for the purchase of 25 SCBAs, 200 SCBA masks, and 200 SCBA air cylinders. Each of these purchases which will help facilitate compliance with NFPA standards. The total estimated cost of this project will be $351,350. The 25 SCBA requested represent the latest in technology and fire fighter safety in regards to Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) and Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health (IDLH) atmospheres. None of our current SCBA meet the 2007 standards set forth by the NFPA. These units comply with all current regulatory guidelines and are NIOSH approved. This purchase will start our replacement program in which we will continue to strive for compliance with all standards and regulations associated with fire fighter safety. The purchase of 200 masks with communication capabilities fills two needs. First, it will ensure that all fire department SCBA masks will be CBRN compliant. The second need is the communication capabilities of the new SCBA. The communication A~vices we currently have are not compatible with the new technology. Communication problems continue to be a major ,tributing factor in almost every fire ground fatality and serious injury. The request for the purchase of 200 cylinders is to replace those cylinders, which have reached the end of their service life. All cylinders have a service life of 15 years. We will lose approximately 150 cylinders in the next two years. We have already lost 50 cylinders in the last two years due to this service life limit. It is required to have a replacement cylinder for every SCBA available at all times. OUR ORGANIZATION'S FINANCIAL NEED: The City of San Bernardino has struggled through difficult economic times for several years, and has been hit even harder with the recent economic downturn. This has created significant erosion of purchasing power to the point that no funds exist for purchases to replace and upgrade SCBAs. In addition, the City of San Bernardino has been dramatically affected by the State budget, which limits our resources even further. This grant will help procure needed equipment in order to better serve our community and improve fire safety. . Please describe all grants that you have received from DHS including any AFG grants received from DHS or FEMA, for example, 2002 AFG grant for vehicle or 2003 ODP grant for exercises.
