RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute an Agreement for Temporary Assignment of Vehicle and Equipment with the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services for assignment and use of a 2016 HME AHRENS-FOX Type II Hazardous Materials Vehicle and other related equipment to respond to incidents in furtherance of the California Fire Service and Rescue Emergency Mutual Aid Plan, with a term not to exceed ten years.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The value of the Type II Hazardous Materials Vehicle is $538,000. The value of the equipment and appliances is $262,000. The District will be required to house, maintain, and make minor repairs to the equipment. Repairs that exceed $100 for each item are the responsibility of CalOES but are subject to a $100 deductible. The District will be responsible for ensuring a certified team of certified Hazardous Materials Specialists is maintained and that appropriate records are kept regarding equipment, staff, and incidents.

BACKGROUND:

On May 9, 2017, the Fire Board of Directors approved the Fire Chief to execute a Hazardous Materials by Rail Training Agreement with the California Governor's Office of Emergency Services (CalOES) to reimburse the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) for hazardous materials training. That training was required before the District could staff a HazMat Type II Team. The Agreement funded training for Hazmat Technician A through D and Hazmat Specialist F and G for 17 employees. The training met the California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI) requirements and standards for certification. The Agreement also included funds to send three employees to Assistant Safety Officer training.

Now that District personnel have completed the above-referenced training, CalOES is awarding the District a Type II Hazardous Materials Vehicle and other related HazMat response equipment. Upon the Board's approval, the District will enter into an Agreement for Temporary Assignment of Vehicle and Equipment. The value of the vehicle is $538,000. The value of equipment and appliances is $262,000.

The term of the Agreement is ten (10) years but may be terminated by either party by providing fourteen (14) days advanced written notice to the other party.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without an executed Agreement, CalOES will not assign a Type II Hazardous Materials Response Vehicle or other equipment to the District.
