FISCAL IMPACT:

75% federal grant award and 25% local agency match

BACKGROUND:

In order to continue to remain 100% in service and fully functional to respond to our communities' needs during extended power outages, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) needs to improve and upgrade backup generators at critical facilities. The current generators range from 20-30 years old, and are in need of dire replacement.

The District was awarded funds by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Programs (HMGP) for new generators at Fire Station 2 and and Fire Station 81.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the advertisement is not approved, the project will not be constructed, impacting future cost escalation and services in this area.
