N. Curtis & Sons in the amount of $63,897.13 for self contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). BACKGROUND SCBAs provide the user with breathable air regardless of the atmosphere. SCBAs give respiratory protection in smoke, toxic fumes, and oxygen deficient environments. These breathing apparatus have served the Fire Department well by providing respiratory protection for employees to use in atmospheres that are immediately dangerous to life and health. The Fire Department is requesting authorization to issue a purchase order to L.N. Curtis & Sons, in the amount of$63,897.13 for sixteen (16) SCBAs. L.N. Curtis & Sons is the sole distributor of Survivair equipment in the Southern California area. Survivair is not the only manufacturer of breathing devices; however, Survivair is the exclusive brand used by the Fire Department, making compatibility essential. All firefighters wear SCBAs when entering a structure involved in fire. Because of the safety issues, it is critical to have all SCBAs standardized. In addition, the National Institute for Occupation Safety and Health does not allow for the integration of different brands of equipment, such as regulators, face masks, etc. In accordance with the City of San Bernardino Municipal Code Section 3.04.010B (3) purchasing procedures for "selective source", we recommend that L.N. Curtis & Sons be issued a purchase order for sixteen (16) SCBAs. Staff has evaluated the quote submitted by L.N. Curtis & Sons and finds that it meets required specifications. The Metropolitan Medical Response System (MMRS) grant allows the City to purchase SCBAs to meet department needs and standardization. FINANCIAL IMPACT The total amount to be awarded to L. N. Curtis & Sons for the SCBAs is $63,897.13. MMRS grant funds (123-596-5704) will be used for this purchase. There is no impact to the General Fund.
