RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No.005007 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $347,805 from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) and $42,195 from CCCFPD General Operating Fund Balance and appropriating it in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (7300) for the purchase of a Type 1 tactical water tender.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$347,805 Federal grant, $42,195 CCCFPD General Operating Fund Balance

BACKGROUND:

On April 9, 2019, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) Board of Directors approved the purchase of a Type 1 tactical water tender. Water tenders are used to supply large volumes of water, typically to areas without fire hydrants. The most common application for this specialty equipment is in rural areas during wildland fire events. Water tenders may also be used to deliver large amounts of water to highways, airports, hazardous materials incidents and industrial fires. The District currently owns one water tender that is in excess of 20 years of age. This older vehicle has exceeded its anticipated life span. In 2018, the District was awarded a separate FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant for the purchase a water tender. This purchase will be the second grant-funded water tender in the fleet. The State Homeland Security Grant Program will provide $347,805 towards the purchase, and the District is responsible for the amount that exceeded the grant award.
