RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5028 authorizing revenue in the amount of $318,341 from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Assistance to Firefighters Grant and $47,000 from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD) General Operating Fund Balance and appropriating it in CCCFPD (7300) for the purchase of a Type 1 Tactical water tender.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$318,341 Federal. The District's maximum potential contribution will be $46,659, which includes the 10% required match of $31,834. The District match will come from fund balance.

BACKGROUND:

On March 13, 2018, the Board of Directors authorized the Fire Chief to apply for and accept grant funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency, Assistance to Firefighters Grant program in an amount not to exceed $375,000. On or about September 1, 2018, the District was notified our application was successful and we had been awarded $318,341 as a Federal share. The District's required match of ten percent (10%) is $31,834 for a total project of $350,175. On or about September 4, 2018, the District accepted the award and began searching for an appropriate vehicle to purchase. The District has identified a vehicle meeting our specifications and selected a vendor using the HGAC Cooperative Purchasing Program. Water tenders are used to supply large amounts of water typically where there are no fire hydrants. The most common application is in the rural environment during wildland fires. Water tenders may also be used to deliver water to freeways, airports, hazardous materials incidents and industrial fires. The District presently owns one water tender. This vehicle is over 20 years old and will be removed from service when the new vehicle arrives.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District would not be able to take advantage of this grant funding opportunity.
