DISCUSSION
Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) provides fire suppression
personnel with proper protection and the ability to operate effectively
during emergency situations. Each SCBA unit provides approximately 30
minutes of oxygen to fire personnel during an emergency occurrence. The
recommended action allows the Fire Department to purchase an additional 26
SCBA units, increasing their current inventory of 300 units to 326. The
added units will supply the Fire Department adequately, having the
necessary inventory on hand in the event of an emergency.
Allstar Fire Equipment, Inc. provides miscellaneous supplies for the Fire
Department. The purchase of self-contained breathing apparatus, when
combined with anticipated purchases during the current fiscal year, exceed
the $25,000 aggregate limit. In order to facilitate continued purchase of
supplies, staff recommends an increase to the aggregate limit.
