Department:

Fire Medical

Commission Meeting Date:  June 12, 2018

Staff Contact:

Mark Bradford, Fire Chief

Recommendations/Options/Action Requested:

 

Approve the sole source purchase of engine exhaust air filtration system for removal of hazardous emissions from fire and EMS apparatus located in apparatus bay (Garage) areas of FS No. 2, FS No. 3, FS No. 4, FS No. 5, Training Center and Investigation Center from AirVac – 911 in the amount of $171,931.00. (Project No. FM1807CIP)

 

Executive Summary:

In the early 1990’s the department installed vehicle emission exhaust systems in all fire medical locations.  The working reliability of these systems is extremely poor and very expensive to maintain.  Since that time new technology has emerged that will cycle ambient air/exhaust on a continuous basis.   

 

The AirVac – 911 system will be installed as part of the FS No. 1 renovation. The installation of the same exhaust system in all fire medical facilities will capitalize on maintenance costs and operational efficacies.

 

This request is to ensure that all Fire Medical facilities are utilizing the same exhaust system. 

 

Installation, Electrical and Existing Equipment Removal:

  • Installation: AirVac-911 cost represents the equipment, delivery and installation. 
  • Electrical: Electrical service will be provided by Randall Electric, Inc. in the amount of $14,840.00.  This portion of the project was obtained using the City’s completive bid process.
  • Existing Equipment Removal: Air Cleaning Technologies, Inc. will remove all existing “Plymovent” equipment for $6,250.00. This portion of the project was obtained using the City’s completive bid process.
  • The total project will not exceed the $200,000 approved budget authorization.
