Award a contract to All Star Fire Equipment Inc. for the purchase of
powered air-purifying respirators and accessories in the amount of
$42,608.44.
DISCUSSION
On August 16, 2004, the City Council accepted a $15 million Urban Area
Security Initiative grant from the federal Department of Homeland
Security, through the State of California, Office of Homeland Security.
This initiative was designed to enhance the domestic preparedness of
urban areas by ensuring that all emergency first responders have
adequate equipment and systems to prevent, respond to and recover from
acts of terrorism. The grant provides total reimbursement to local
agencies for equipment purchases approved and authorized by the federal
Office of Domestic Preparedness.
The Fire Department requires powered air-purifying respirators (PAPR)
to allow firefighters and first responders to work safely in
contaminated environments that may result from acts of terrorism. The
PAPR is a powered air-purifying respirator that uses a blower to force
ambient atmosphere through air-purifying canisters to the user's
facepiece. In hostile or extended-wear situations, the PAPR's fanning
effect helps keep the facepiece from fogging, while eliminating the
addi tional pulmonary stress associated with a non-powered respirator.
The PAPR provides a constant airflow and cooling/fanning effect over
the entire usage period and the lightweight design extends user wear
times in humid or hot environments.
