RE: Fire Chief’s Report
______________________________________________________________________
Fire Station 16 (Lafayette): The building footings have been poured, and the
underground plumbing and electrical have been inspected and approved. In early
October, the slab floor will be the last building concrete to be poured. By the end of
October, the walls should be up and the roof trusses in place.
Fire Station 70 (San Pablo): During the plan review process, a few seismic code
requirements were identified, and updated architectural drawings are in
progress. These changes have pushed the expected Board agenda item from
October to November. The District and County Capital Project Management still
anticipate opening and closing bids by year end.
Denise Cannon, the Fire District’s Human Resources Analyst, retired from the Fire
District effective September 29, 2018, with a combined total of 30 years of service to
the Fire District and Contra Costa County. Denise was involved in a significant
amount of change within the Fire District including numerous promotions and
recruitments and was instrumental in the success of the Fire District’s diversity
recruitment program.
Academy 52 started on Monday, October 1, 2018, with 31 firefighter recruits. They
are scheduled to graduate in February 2019 and will fill existing vacancies and staff
Engine 16 in Lafayette.
As we reported last month, the Fire District has concerns about developments
whose property tax allocations alone will not support adequate levels of fire and
emergency medical response. Several managers from the Fire District traveled to
San Bernardino County Fire last week to discuss best practices with regard to the
implementation of service zones and other funding options that might provide
additional revenue. A future report and discussion on this topic will be presented to
the Board.
STARR, the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s helicopter which is additionally staffed
with a Fire District Captain/Paramedic, recently responded to a motor vehicle
accident on Highway 4. After arriving overhead, they visualized bystanders
performing CPR on a young child. Because of the stopped traffic, the first arriving

fire and EMS resources were significantly delayed. STARR made the decision to
land and deploy the Captain/Paramedic who immediately began treatment on the
child. By the time other responders arrived, pulses and blood pressure had returned
to the child, and patient care was transferred to an awaiting air ambulance crew who
took the patient to a nearby hospital to be stabilized. This is a great example of the
positive outcomes that have come from the partnership between the Sheriff’s Office
and the Fire District.
Fire Marshal Marshall’s last day with the Fire District will be October 13, 2018. He
has accepted a position as the Fire Marshal for San Mateo County Fire which is
where he began his career. We wish him the best of luck in his new endeavors.
October 9, 2018 Fire Protection Minutes 11
RECOMMENDATION(S):
ACCEPT a report updating the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District's Capital Improvement Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Approval of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is not binding; it is intended to be a forecast of known and
anticipated capital projects that will require appropriations for construction, planning, or acquisition.
Appropriation requests for projects identified in the CIP will be approved by the Board of Directors through
the annual budget approval process. The CIP update outlines a plan for future capital expenditures, but
those projects will be reviewed again individually before the District undertakes them.
District capital projects can be funded using general operating funds, restricted capital funds, unrestricted
fund balance, or a combination thereof. In addition, certain projects may require the use of financial
instruments, such as a lease-purchase agreement, to fund them (e.g., large construction projects or heavy
fire apparatus acquisition).
The District currently has approximately $2.3 million in restricted capital funds. Additional funding for
capital improvement projects may be available in the general operating

fund or unrestricted fund balance, although the District's general operating fund is typically used for
small to medium maintenance and construction projects. In addition, the City of San Pablo has
committed $4.5 million towards the reconstruction of Fire Station 70.
BACKGROUND:
The District's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was last updated in 2016. The CIP is a required
document to support the ongoing collection of development impact fees, which are collected in the cities
of Pittsburg and Antioch, as well as the unincorporated County areas served by the District. In addition,
the CIP is a foundation for the justification, revision, and updating of these development impact fees.
The CIP will also be used as a basis for the development of Community Facilities Districts (CFD) where
new development is being proposed and additional infrastructure or staffing is needed to mitigate the
impacts of new development.
Due to the effects of the Great Recession and several years with minimal capital expenditures, the
District continues to address significant deferred maintenance issues and capital projects, as well as
catching up with the replacement of apparatus and capital equipment that was delayed. The District has
started the process of looking towards our future needs for facilities, equipment, and apparatus and these
have been included in this CIP revision. This revision also includes the known capital projects needed or
anticipated due to development, growth, changes in service delivery areas or methods, replacement of
aging or obsolete apparatus or facilities, and significant maintenance or remodel of facilities for other
uses or due to age.
The CIP has new meaning in the current and future fiscal environment where infrastructure
maintenance, modernization, and efficiency is recognized as a priority with respect to sustaining
emergency service delivery. As we continue surveying existing facilities, apparatus replacement needs,
and other capital-related projects into the next fiscal year, the CIP will be updated to reflect current and
future needs.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The update to the CIP is necessary to remain in compliance with laws pertaining to the establishment
and continued use of development impact fees. In addition, a current CIP is necessary to begin the
process of developing a community facilities district program, as well as the process of developing a
revised development impact fee program. Without a current CIP, the District would not be able to move
forward with the revision of current development impact fees or the creation of a community facilities
district.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5015 authorizing revenue in the amount of
$510,000 from CCCFPD General Operating Fund Balance and appropriating it in the Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District (7300) for the purchase of a Caterpillar bulldozer for fire suppression activities.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% CCCFPD General Operating Fund Balance
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) has historically operated a fire trail maintenance
program to prepare local fire trails for fire season. The District bulldozer was available on an as-needed
basis for emergency response.
In recent years the heavy equipment program has been expanded to included dedicated staffing during fire
season. Utilization of a bulldozer on a wildland fire can greatly reduce the time required to contain and fully
extinguish a fire. This summer the District's bulldozer played a key role on the Marsh Fire, the Ygnacio
Fire, and dozens of other smaller incidents. Earlier this year, the bulldozer responded to Santa Barbara to
assist in the search

and rescue efforts following the deadly mudslides.
The District desires to purchase a new bulldozer for front line service. This will allow the District to
place the current bulldozer into reserve status, giving us two fully capable units, enhancing response
capability on red flag fire weather days, and allowing response to incidents outside Contra Costa County
while still having a unit available in the County.
The 2018 fire season was deadly for bulldozer operators. Through participation in the statewide mutual
aid system, the District's operators will gain valuable experience that will be utilized locally. Both
bulldozers will be utilized in the fire trail maintenance program.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute a purchase order with Fouts Bros. Fire
Equipment, in an amount not to exceed $125,000, for the purchase of a Mini Pumper Fire Apparatus to be
utilized at Fire Station 19 (Briones Valley) by firefighters in the Reserve Firefighter Program.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% CCCFPD General Operating Fund Balance
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) Reserve Firefighter Program recently hired 12
new reserve firefighters. Fire Station 19 (Briones Valley) is in a remote part of the District's response area.
The area sees relatively low call volume and incident response times can be lengthy. One method of
delivering services and shortening this time is through the Reserve Firefighter Program.
Fire Station 19 (Briones Valley) is located at 1019 Garcia Ranch Road and has traditionally housed older
apparatus the District has rotated in to the station. One challenge in operating a reserve program in a
neighborhood fire station such as this is the ability to recruit, train, and retain

drivers for large heavy equipment.
The District is proposing to purchase this vehicle from Fouts Bros. to solve many of these challenges. The
vehicle is a demonstration model and is available for immediate delivery, thus eliminating manufacturing
time. The vehicle is on a Ford F550 chassis and does not require specialized licensing like larger apparatus.
The vehicle is equipped with 300 gallon tank and a 375 gallon per minute pump. This will allow reserve
firefighters to take action on wildland fires, vehicle fires, and perform some defense operations on a
structure fire. The vehicle is capable of responding to medical emergencies and other all-risk calls for
service. Purchasing a new vehicle will increase the dependability of a vehicle stored at an unstaffed station
with relatively low call volume.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this purchase is not authorized, the District will need to identify an alternate plan for an appropriate
vehicle to be assigned to Fire Station 19 (Briones Valley).
October 9, 2018 Fire Protection Minutes 97
RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute the First Amendment to Lease with
the California State University, East Bay, extending the lease by twenty years for a new term end date of
July 31, 2038, for the continued use of approximately .80 acres of real property currently used as Fire
Station No. 22 located at 5050 Crystyl Ranch Drive in Concord, under the terms and conditions as set forth
in the First Amendment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no cost associated with extending the term of the lease. Fire Station 22 was constructed by the
developer as a mitigation measure for the Crystyl Ranch Development, and the land is leased to the District
by the City of Concord at no cost.
BACKGROUND:
Fire Station 22 has been operating since the commencement of the original Ground Lease dated August 1,
1998. The first amendment to lease will provide for the continued use of the land and the fire station
without modifying the other terms and conditions of the lease.
Fire Station 22 was constructed to serve the Crystyl Ranch development in the City of Concord. It was
constructed by the developer as a mitigation measure for the Crystyl Ranch Development.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent to execute a purchase order with R. S. Hughes, in an
amount not to exceed $120,000, for the purchase of hazardous materials detection equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% Federal grant funded, FY 2017 State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP).
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office was awarded funding from the U. S. Department of Homeland
Security, California Governor's Office of Emergency Services, FY 2017 State Homeland Security Grant
Program (SHSGP). The Sheriff's Office will pass a portion of the funds through to the Contra Costa County
Fire Protection District (District) to purchase hazardous materials detection equipment. The AreaRAE Plus
Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK) allows first responders to assess and respond quickly to the release of toxic
and radioactive substances. The RDK includes four (4) versatile GPS-enabled AreaRAE air monitors, a
RAEMet meteorological sensor, a RAELink3 wireless router built in, and all the necessary accessories for
field operation. The RDK enables first responders to create a perimeter and set up a command station up to
two miles from the site. It fits into a military-grade protective case, which charges all the batteries during
storage.

FISCAL IMPACT:
90% Federal; 10% local agency match requirement.
BACKGROUND:
The FY 2018 Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program is set against the backdrop of a year in which
the United States faced numerous and unprecedented homeland security challenges. These included the
three major hurricanes that devastated parts of Texas, Florida, and much of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin
Islands, as well as massive wildfires across the State of California.
The purpose of the Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) Program is to enhance the safety of the public
and firefighters with respect to fire and fire-related hazards. The funds provide critically needed resources

equip and train emergency personnel to recognized standards, enhance operational efficiencies, foster
interoperability, and support community resilience. AFG has three activities: Operations and Safety,
Vehicle Acquisition, and Regional Projects. Each activity has its own eligibility requirements. The Contra
Costa County Fire Protection District (District) will apply for this project under Operations and Safety.
For Operations and Safety, the District will seek funding for thirty (30) automatic chest compression
devices and accessories. To save the lives of sudden cardiac arrest patients, a steady supply of oxygen to the
heart and brain is needed. Circulation can be created through chest compression. Performing manual chest
compression is both difficult and tiring and impossible in certain situations. Automatic devices provide
steady compressions in accordance with the latest guidelines and allow rescuers to focus on other
life-saving tasks.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The District currently only has seven automatic chest compression devices spread throughout the fire
companies. This grant will allow the District to equip all firefighters with the same equipment so they all
can provide a high level of care.

RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE Appropriation and Revenue Adjustment No. 5017 authorizing new revenue in the amount of

Protection District (7300) for the purchase of helicopter equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
100% California Fire Foundation restricted donation. No local agency matching funds required.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District received approval to apply for and accept funding from
the California Fire Foundation at the June 12, 2018, meeting of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection
District Board of Directors. This revenue and appropriation adjustment authorizes new revenue from the
California Fire Foundation and appropriates it for the purchase of a Bambi bucket for helicopter water

as-needed basis for emergency response. In recent years, the heavy equipment program has been
expanded to included dedicated staffing during fire season.
Utilization of a bulldozer on a wildland fire can greatly reduce the time required to contain and fully
extinguish a fire. This summer the District's bulldozer played a key role on the Marsh Fire, the Ygnacio
Fire, and dozens of other smaller incidents. Earlier this year, the bulldozer responded to Santa Barbara to
assist in the search and rescue efforts following the deadly mudslides.
The District desires to purchase a new bulldozer for front line service. This will allow the District to
place the current bulldozer into reserve status, giving us two fully capable units, enhancing response
capability on red flag fire weather days, and allowing response to incidents outside Contra Costa County
while still having a unit available in the County.
The 2018 fire season was deadly for bulldozer operators. Through participation in the statewide mutual
aid system, the District's operators will gain valuable experience that will be utilized locally. Both
bulldozers will be utilized in the fire trail maintenance program.
If approved, this purchase will be awarded to Peterson Cat using the California Multiple Award
Schedules (CMAS), through the California Department of General Services Procurement Division.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The District will be limited to use of the one existing bulldozer for critical activities such as wildland
firefighting and search and rescue.
