The City of Seward Fire Department last purchased self-contained breathing apparatuses(SCBA's) in 2004 and are NFPA 1981 2002 standard.These SCBA's and their accompanying accessories are no longer under warranty, parts are becoming obsolete, and are behind more than 2 national standards compliant. SCBA's are perhaps the single most important piece of life safety PPE for a firefighter. Having modern,safe and properly functioning SCBA's available for our volunteers is vital to ensure their ability to perform effective life safety operations when called to respond. Newer equipment is expected to be more reliable and less likely to fail during operation keeping our volunteers and our community safer. We are careful about maintaining our SCBA's in a ready state. It becomes increasingly difficult when parts are changing, and costs are higher to replace them. The first training our volunteers receive is putting on a turnout coat,pants, gloves,hoods, helmets and air-packs. SCBA's are essential equipment for our volunteers. Every response vehicle is equipped with SCBA's not just for fire,but hazardous materials and questionable areas that will be entered.The more we teach our volunteers about health risks of cancer and cardiovascular disease, the more they look to us to ensure their health and safety needs are taken care of.We prepare them to properly wear SCBA's,we fit-test annually for health and safety.Purchasing new SCBA's confirms our commitment to our volunteers, contributes to protecting lives and property, and supports our mission of prepared response. Our4500 psi air cylinders were purchased at the same time,are past their serviceable life and will no longer be able to be legally and responsibly filled and used as they are no longer eligible to be hydrostatically tested.SCBA cylinders are tested every 5 years with a maximum of 15-year life span. Our intent is to continue with 4500 psi cylinders to avoid cost of upgrading our compressor. The compressor and fill station are in good working order and a replacement is not necessary for safety at this time. 60 Our Rapid Intervention Team(RIT)packs are in the same position and are in need of replacement. These are emergency packs that firefighters take to a downed or trapped firefighter to provide them more air until they can be safely removed from the hazard. In 2014,the Alaska Fire Chiefs Association received a legislative appropriation for a capitol project to upgrade SCBA statewide. Our area was included in this upgrade and helped our department to have repairs done and upgrade our SCBA's with new safety features.It extended their useful life,but they are still considered 2002 edition SCBA. Our department has attempted a regional SCBA grant from the Federal Assistance to Firefighters Grant for 2 years without success. Our department has lobbied our state representatives for state legislative appropriates for new SCBA's without success for the previous 2 years. For our community it is a huge amount of money to come up with,but without the proper protective gear, our firefighters will fight fire from the outside and see a lot of higher losses when fire does strike. We are requesting sole source product and vendor due to the interoperability with mutual/automatic aid departments,along with muscle memory training that our responders are familiar with,the Scott SCBA. Changing to another brand of SCBA could result in muscle memory failure during an emergency with a fatal outcome. We are requesting approval for sole source due to the current working relationship with the vendor as they already provide training, service, and testing on our current SCBA's.With the end of the fiscal year fast approaching,putting out an RFP would prevent an order and shipment to the City's current policies.Further,any delay only increases the liability of using non-compliant SCBA's. We rely heavily on mutual and automatic aid for fires and large-scale incidents.All the departments on the east side of the peninsula utilize Scott SCBA's. Interoperability is imperative and critical during emergency responses.Our continued use of the Scott SCBA ensures a continued safe working relationship with our surrounding departments. Municipal Emergency Services (MES) provides GPO pricing and meets city code (6.10.115 and 6.10.130) and any delay in immediate purchasing puts the community and our responders at risk. The MES quote provides 34 SCBA's with 34 air cylinders, 34 masks, 34 free air cylinders, and 2 RIT packs with 2 matching air cylinders. Purchasing new Scott SCBA's will bring the Seward Fire Department in compliance with NFPA 1981/1982 2018 edition which should provide at a minimum a 15-year service life. Seward Municipal Code references: 6.10.115 Exemptions from Competitive procurement procedures. 5. supplies, materials, equipment or contractual services which can only be furnished by a single dealer,or which have a uniform published price. 8. the purchase of professional services. Professional services are those that require special knowledge and judgment that includes analysis, evaluation, prediction, planning or recommendations and which results in the production of a report or the completion of a task 61 6.10.130 Where competitive bid proposals are not in the public interest. Restrictions and provisions of this title shall not apply where the city council determines and makes written findings that the public interest would be best served by not requiring competitive bids/proposals.

Incident Command is tasked with many responsibilities on a fire scene,and personnel accountability is one of ` those items.Knowing the real-time status of a responder's condition allows for effective management of those assets, but it is commonly seen as a difficult thing to accomplish without integral radio communications.In fact,personnel accountability and effective communications are two of the most critical components of a successful fireground operation—and can be the most challenging to preserve. ' The Air-Pak"X3 Pro SCBA seeks to improve both. The patented 3M Scott SEMS II Wireless SCBATelemetry System (with Pro Package),available on the Air-Pak"X3 Pro SCBA, enables vital communication between responders and incident command.When paired with the 3M Scott Monitor Telemetry Software Solution(with Pro Package),incident command can see a responder's air level,PASS,and EVAC data—all standard ri telemetry essentials on a simple,easy-to-understand interface. Additional alert notifications—high flow or no flow full alarm PASS conditions and system integrity alarm—provide enhanced situational intelligence to help guide critical decision making.These alert notifications are the biggest benefit of the Monitor telemetry software solution(with Pro Package). Y 9 Exception Reporting The chaos of a fire scene often develops to where command manages to the exceptions.Telemetry data is important for everyone wearing a SCBA,but immediate action needs to be taken to address the exceptions. MWa6t An alternate view of the incident delivers just these PASS ALARM ACTNEI NO FLOW exceptions or alerts—no news is good news.In SS45-6 -Jones John this case,a blank screen is displayed under normal operations,while exception alerts appear with audible tones during an alarm condition,getting incident Acknowledge kTw to List command's attention at the most critical times. &Silence 74 ePAR Seeking to further improve communications,incident command can leverage SEMS II Pro with the Monitor telemetry software solution(with Pro Package)to electronically check the PAR status of firefighters without the need to broadcast over the radio.Available on the Air-Pak X3 Pro SCBA,a PAR request can be sent to firefighters with an audible and visual alert notification.Firefighters send an acknowledgment back to incident command with a simple click of a button on the PASS console.The ePAR feature helps reduce excess radio traffic in those situations where communications are critical,while maintaining personnel accountability on the fireground.

Offering the same benefits as ' ,dr the full-featured SEMS II Pro and y r f identified by a yellow console, the SEMS II Pro Hazmat includes a disabled motion sensor(not compliant to NFPA 1982)to prevent inadvertent alarm activation,while providing the safety benefit of a manual "- PASS activation in the event of �� `t't'E eau an emergency.
