STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Resolution ratifying the submittal of an on-line grant application for the FY 2010
Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program (AFGP) submitted to the Department of
Homeland Security in the amount of$351,350.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the availability of grant
funding for Fiscal Year 2010 Assistance to Firefighters Grant Program. 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 2010 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 personnel, operating budgets, or construction. The on-line
application period opened on April 26, 2010 and is scheduled to close on May 28, 2010.
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, fire shelters, vehicle exhaust
extraction systems, and fund other purchases. For FY 2009 AFGP, Fire applied for self
contained breathing apparatus equipment and the grant was denied on April 16, 2010.
In FY 2010 AFGP, the Fire Department is requesting authorization to re-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
program and will be required to be funded in the next year.
On May 25, 2010, the Fire Department attended a Special Grants Ad Hoc Committee to
discuss the submittal of the 2010 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.
1
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 the amount of$10,000 and the Fire Acquisition
in the amount of$60,270 in fiscal year 2010/2011; 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
ks will be CBRN compliant. The second need is the communication capabilities of the new SCBA. The communication
u,.eices we currently have are not compatible with the new technology. Communication problems continue to be a major
contributing 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.
