SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, Contra Costa County, to issue an award to
Allstar Fire Equipment for RFP Depot Bid number 0707-008 for equipment, parts, and initial
installation for the upgrading of approximately 320 Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) to
current National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) performance standards.

The total cost is approximately $601,423. The District will receive $413,077 in Federal Grant funds
and the balance of$188,346 is budgeted in the District's 2007-08 budget.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District has been awarded a Federal Assistance to
Firefighters Grant in the amount of$413,077 to upgrade approximately 320 self-contained breathing
apparatus (SCBA) to current NFPA performance standards. This improvement includes the purchase
of upgrade kits, regulators, cost of installation and initial flow-testing. The District will be reimbursed
by Federal Grant funds following the purchase.
County Purchasing Division has facilitated a competitive bidding process for parts quotation and
service installation of upgrade parts via RFP Depot, and a responsible, successful bidder (Allstar Fire
Equipment) has been identified. Given the County policy requiring Board of Supervisor approval of
purchases of$100,000 or more, the execution of a County Purchase Order (PO) is contingent on
Board approval.
