RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No.005006 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $400,200 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Urban Area Security Initiative Grants Program and $32,800 from CCCFPD General Operating Fund Balance and appropriating it in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (7300) for the purchase of a mobile repeater vehicle.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$400,200 Federal grant. The District is responsible for the amount that exceeded the grant award, $32,800.

BACKGROUND:

On May 21, 2019, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) Board of Directors approved the purchase of a mobile repeater vehicle. The District has been been awarded funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Grants Program in an amount not to exceed $400,200 to purchase this vehicle. The mobile repeater vehicle will be equipped with a repeater, satellite data/voice/phone backhaul capability, and EBRCS/VHF/UHF patching for use in support of the VHF/UHF/EBRCS, phone, and data communications systems of Alameda County and Contra Costa County. The vehicle will be deployable to any operational area and the Bay Area Region as needed. This vehicle can be deployed to provide increased radio system coverage and redundancy for planned large scale events as well as provide continuity of communications with the remote/mobile repeater capability in the result of damaged/destroyed radio communication infrastructure.
