RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No.005026 authorizing new revenue in the amount of $96,000 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 $1,750 from the CCCFPD General Operating Fund and appropriation of the funds to the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (7300) for the purchase of a towable generator. (98% Federal grant; 2% CCCFPD General Operating Fund))

FISCAL IMPACT:

98% Federal grant; 2% CCCFPD General Operating Fund ($96,000 funded from the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP) and $1,750 from CCCFPD General Operating Fund). The quoted price for the towable generator is $97,750.

BACKGROUND:

On February 4, 2020, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Board of Directors authorized the Fire Chief, or designee, to apply for and accept grant funding for the purchase of a towable 125 kilowatt emergency power generator. The Fire District was awarded $96,000 from the FY 2020 State Homeland Security Grant Program toward the purchase of the generator and expects to receive the grant funds in FY 2022/23.. The generator will provide the Fire District and its operational area's critical infrastructure with emergency power in instances of power failure or Public Safety Power Shutoffs.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this action is not approved, grant funds representing 98% of the cost will not be available for the purchase of a towable generator; and, in the event of power failure, the Fire District could potentially be unable to supply sufficient emergency power to its operational area.
