RECOMMENDATION(S):

Acting as the governing body of the Crockett-Carquinez Fire District, APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Rosenbauer South Dakota, LLC to increase the payment limit to $342,514 in connection with the purchase of a Water Tender.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will increase the contract and purchase order by $31,827 to a new payment limit of $342,513.25. The purchase is funded through a $250,000 grant from the Crockett Community Foundation and $92,513.25 will be funded with Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District Funds. (73% Crockett Community Foundation Grant, 27% Crockett-Carquinez Fire District)











BACKGROUND:

The Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District requires the Rosenbauer 2000 Gallon Water Tender (“New Apparatus”) to replace a 1990 Beck Water Tender. The Beck is approaching the end of its service life and does not meet current standards for exhaust emissions. The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 1901 for Automotive Fire Apparatus and Standard 1911 for Inspection, Maintenance, Testing and Retirement of In-Service Automotive Fire Apparatus both recommend front-line apparatus be retired into a reserve status after 15 years of service. This is primarily for safety reasons. Older apparatus do not afford firefighters the same level of safety as modern apparatus due to cab designs, inherent safety features incorporated into modern apparatus design, modern breaking systems, and other considerations. The New Apparatus will have a direct and immediate impact on reducing maintenance costs and improving firefighter safety. The New Apparatus meets all current safety standards, including low diesel emission requirements. The new Water Tender will have a water capacity of 2000 gallons which is 800 more than the current unit. This unit is the only one of its kind in Western Contra Costa County and anywhere along the I-80 corridor south of Cordelia. A water tender is a vital part of the District’s vegetation fire response as well as rural structures and freeway fires involving large vehicle or battery-powered cars.  
  
The Public Works Department’s Purchasing Division released a Request for Proposals for the new apparatus on July 21, 2021 and received three responses. Rosenbauer met all the bid requirements and was selected as the winning bid. On May 3, 2022, this Board approved a contract and purchase order to purchase the New Appparatus; however, before the contract was executed manufacturing costs were increased due to increases in the cost of materials.  
  

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District will not be able to purchase the New Apparatus.
