The corresponding amount required for the internal loan will be reduced due to the availability of the Third Party Contribution -OPG Reserve Fund. Discussion: Specifications for this project were developed based on consultation with Purchasing staff, the Fire Services Joint Health and Safety Committee, and Training Division staff. Fire Services has not purchased replacement SCBA since 2011. Our current supply of SOBA ranges in age from six to sixteen years old and does not meet the current standard: (2013) NFPA 1981: Standard on Open -Circuit Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) for Emergency Services. Further, Fire Services currently uses two models of SCBA; this replacement project will ensure that all the SCBA are the same model. The new 2013 NFPA standard includes increased lens integrity testing, new voice intelligibility requirements, end -of -service time indicator changes, requirements for emergency breathing support systems, introduction of a universal PASS sound and an updating of the intrinsic safety standards. The purchase of 45 minute cylinders to replace the current 30 minute cylinders has been included in this project. These cylinders will provide additional breathing air for firefighters when they are working in hazardous areas. This project also includes face mask -mounted thermal imaging cameras that will be utilized by captains. These face mask -mounted thermal imaging cameras will help captains locate trapped victims, locate the seat of a fire and will greatly enhance their ability to work safely and more efficiently inside fires. The City and Ontario Power Generation have a Memorandum of Understanding that states "Self- contained breathing apparatus shall be the same and air cylinders shall be interchangeable." For this reason, only SCOTT brand distributors were able to submit quotations for this project. Bids have been received to the quotation call, which closed on Tuesday, August 29, 2017. Two companies submitted quotations for this project. The top ranked Respondent (low bidder), Dependable Emergency Vehicles, has submitted a currently dated and signed Health & Safety Regulation form and a current WSIB Clearance Certificate. The Certificate of Insurance is deemed acceptable to Manager, Budgets & Internal Audit. In conjunction with the foregoing approvals, staff have reviewed the previous work experience of Dependable Emergency Vehicles. The references provided on this project and the quotation is deemed acceptable. Upon careful examination of all quotations and relevant documents received, the Fire Services Department recommends that Quotation No. Q-73-2017 submitted by Dependable Emergency Vehicles in the amount of $887,655.44 (HST included) and that the total net project cost of $799,362.00 be approved. r(Iaon0')zmin1 r s, co.1 FIR 01-17 October 2, 2017 Subject: Quotation No. Q-73-2017, Supply & Delivery of SCBA Equipment Page 4 Attachments: 1.
