CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 1/28/2026Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4606,Version:1 CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 1/28/2026Page 2 of 2 powered by Legistar™ November 4, 2025 TO: Board of Directors FROM: Lewis Broschard, Fire Chief RE: Fire Chief’s Report Operations Section Update ● Peak Fire Season. With the arrival of decent rains in mid-October and reduced wildland fire activity, the District is planning on moving to a reduced response posture for vegetation fires. The contracted helicopter was released on November 1, per the timeframe stipulated in the contract. Our 24/7 dozer staffing was also reduced and the dozer will be available on a call-back, when needed basis. The hand crew staffing will be reduced to 4 days per week to handle project work through the winter months. ● Electric Vehicle Fire (Walnut Creek). The present dangers and hazards of combatting EV fires arrived in an incident where an EV, with batteries in thermal runaway during the charging process, caught fire in a fully enclosed parking garage three stories below grade. These fires generate especially toxic smoke and can be difficult to fully extinguish due to the internal battery chemistry, which can lead to a dangerous condition known as thermal runaway—a process where battery cells repeatedly ignite themselves, continuing to emit smoke and heat even under active firefighting efforts. Two alarms and our haz-mat response team were required to manage the incident, suppress the fire, support building fire/smoke management systems, provide decontamination, and incident command post support. Due to the potential toxicity of the smoke, a shelter-in-place was issued through the CWS for a limited area immediately adjacent to the incident. The fire, not that significant in itself, was ultimately controlled with minimal damage to the building and no fire damage to the adjacent cars. The proliferation of the toxic smoke, likely containing heavy metals, prompted the District to remove all the personal protective equipment (PPE) that was subject to the smoke/fire in the enclosed space. Twenty sets of PPE are being sent to a special cleaning contractor in Minnesota where, hopefully, the heavy metals can be removed and Fire Chief’s Report Page 2 of 7 the PPE returned to service. If the PPE needs to be replaced it will cost the District approximately $12,000 per set ($240,000). Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division ● Nurse Navigation We are looking to expand the type and quantity of calls where this program will engage in an effort to continue our effort to decompress the emergency ambulance transport demand. ● Ambulance Patient Offload Times (APOT) Our quarterly calls with the hospital council and local hospital leadership will continue in 2026. (The APOT report for October is not available due to the timing of the agenda packet being submitted prior to the end of the month) From November 3–7, John Muir Health will hold a weeklong Improvement Event focused on reducing Ambulance Patient Offload Time (APOT) in the Walnut Creek Emergency Department (ED). Although APOT has improved, it still falls short of the Contra Costa County EMS Agency standard, with only 69% of ambulance patients offloaded within 20 minutes during the last week of September. This event (also called a Kaizen) will involve a multidisciplinary team of frontline John Muir Health staff (Nurses, Techs, Registration, etc.) dedicating the week to: ● Observing ambulance patient flow to identify challenges ● Brainstorming potential solutions ● Testing and measuring these solutions to find the most effective improvements ● Emergency Ambulance Contract Extension The 2 year contract extension is on the Board of Supervisor ’s agenda for their November 4 meeting. If approved, this would extend the current contract, with some minor amendments, through December 31, 2027. Special Operations ● Hazardous Materials Response Team ○ Amended Agreement with Cal OES. The agreement with Cal OES was amended to increase the payment limit by $100,000 for the next 12 months. This will enable the District to recover costs associated with additional training related to the Super Bowl event and other HazMat team training throughout the next year. ○ New Drone Pilots. 15 members of the haz-mat team completed their FAA training and are certified to operate the drones, of which one is capable of remote aerial air monitoring. This greatly enhances the information gathering related to hazard assessment and plume modeling on any incident. Fire Chief’s Report Page 3 of 7 ○ Training at Facilities. We participated in a tabletop oil spill response drill at the Phillips 66 facility in Rodeo. ● Marine Program ○ New Boat Operators. 11 new boat operators were trained and are available to support daily operations and staffing. ● Rescue ○ MRC Training. Our rescue company participated in a confined space and high-angle rescue drill at the MRC refinery in Martinez. Training & Safety ● Safety Committee. The District completed the on-boarding process for 25 new members. This committee represents all facets of the District and all the various divisions, including non-operational divisions. The committee helps to review and craft safety protocols, procedures, and practices related to the work conducted across all the divisions and work groups of the District. The work of the committee, and the input from our members, is an important part of creating and maintaining a culture of safety within our organization. ● Annual Training Plan. The annual training plan for 2026 was developed with input from almost 20 members of the organization. It is no surprise that the training needs and demands of the modern fire service almost outstrip our ability to keep pace. With the required training on traditional firefighting methods and practices, there is a steady increase in new issues, such as EV fires, that require additional dedicated training time. Like most fire service agencies, the challenge of scheduling and completing ALL the necessary training is complicated. The Training & Safety Division does a very good job of soliciting input and managing the training calendar to help us meet the growing needs of keeping our members competent, proficient, and safe in fireground operations. ● NERIS Program Implementation. The Training & Safety Division took the lead on a major project to meet the federal requirements for the National Emergency Response Information System (NERIS) implementation. Staff worked over several weeks to match the agency needs with the software vendor and to develop a training program for our members ahead of the January 1, 2026 implementation date. NERIS will become the national standard for incident reporting that all agencies must comply with. Fire Chief’s Report Page 4 of 7 Advanced Planning Section Update New Deputy Fire Chief & Reorganization ● Assistant Fire Chief Tracie Dutter was promoted to Deputy Fire Chief effective November 1, following an open recruitment process with internal and external candidates. Chief Dutter replaces Brian Helmick as our third Deputy Fire Chief following Chief Helmick’s retirement. Chief Dutter was most recently our Support Services Chief, responsible for facilities, fleet, logistics, and our apparatus shop. Her prior experience includes extensive fire prevention roles and responsibilities at Con Fire and prior agencies. Her new role will be reorganized under the Community Risk Reduction Section (formerly the Advanced Planning Section) of the District which will include the Fire Prevention Bureau and the new Hazardous Materials Division effective July 1, 2026. Each of those will be lead by an Assistant Fire Chief reporting directly to Chief Dutter. Fire Prevention Bureau ● Fire Code and WUI Code Adoptions. The board will be holding a public hearing on November 4, 2025 to consider adopting the California Fire Code and the new Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) Code to be effective on January 1, 2026. The additional steps of obtaining city approvals and ratifications will take place in the weeks leading up to the start of the new year. Significant staff time was invested to work on the adoption process, as well as collaborating with the other Fire Marshals to provide consistency in each agency’s fire code for uniformity across the county. ● Annual Open House Event. We hosted our annual open house on October 11 to kick off Fire Prevention Week. This year we had a record attendance of 1,560 people, the event showcased our specialized equipment and provided information to attendees about fire safety and wildfire preparedness. This was a huge success through the effort of many of our on-duty and off-duty members. Fire Chief’s Report Page 5 of 7 ● Mapping of Wildfire Mitigation Projects. The mapping of fuel breaks is progressing, with the objective of providing insurance companies with the requisite information to incorporate fuel breaks into their catastrophic models. We are following the lead of CalMAPPER data sets and mapping tools, as they have received this request from insurance companies that conduct catastrophic model simulations to identify risk. The updated maps will now encompass the type of mitigation measures implemented, the disposal methods employed for vegetation, and the frequency of treatment maintenance occurrences. Legislation & Grants ● Zone 0 and Home Hardening Regulations. (no significant update) The State Board of Forestry continues to hold committee meetings on this subject, but is not expected to publish any new regulations until after the new year. Administration Section Update Support Services Division ● New Training Tiller Ladder Truck. The District operates a fleet of tractor-drawn aerial apparatus, known as tillers, which have both front and rear drivers. Training new drivers to operate these vehicles safely and effectively is essential. The tiller currently used for driver training has reached the end of its service life. To support ongoing training needs, the District identified and acquired a used tiller through a trade of two surplus fire engines. ● Underground Storage Tank Removal. The District partnered with the County Public Works Facilities Services Division to remove an underground fuel tank at the Byron Wildland Fire Center. The tank had been damaged and was no longer in service. Its removal mitigates potential environmental risks and prepares the site for future improvements. Fire Chief’s Report Page 6 of 7 Communications Division ● Recruitments. The Fire District will be onboarding a new Telecommunications Specialist to fill an existing vacancy on November 10, 2025. Three new Dispatchers started in early October to fill vacancies. They are completing their classroom based training and will transition to the dispatch floor training in the next couple of weeks. ● Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) Rebuild The CAD rebuild continues to progress and is tentatively set for implementation early February of 2026 after completion of the new 911 communications center and data/server room projects. This rebuild will provide improved efficiency and accuracy for dispatching, incident location information, mapping, and routing of resources. New Fire Stations / Major Facilities Construction ● Fire Station 90 (Brentwood) The District is currently coordinating with County Environmental to complete the required CEQA studies. Fire District staff met with Cornerstone Fellowship Church, our new neighbor. Their leadership group seemed pleased with our plans. The Fire District will hold a community meeting at Cornerstone Fellowship on Thursday, November 6th, at 6 pm. This will be a chance for the neighborhood and community to provide input to the project before our formal submission to the City of Brentwood Planning Department. Fire Chief’s Report Page 7 of 7 ● Fire Station 9 (Pacheco) The preliminary design for Fire Station 9 has been completed and will be used as the basis for the upcoming bid process. The CEQA studies remain in progress. An architectural firm has been selected for the temporary station 9. Buchanan Field is the most likely location for a temporary fire station during construction. ● Contra Costa County Regional Fire Communication Center (CCRFCC) (Pleasant Hill) The communications center remodel continues to progress with some significant milestones over the last few weeks. These significant accomplishments include installation of the new dispatch consoles, arrival and installation of electrical switch gear and pending primary PG&E power by late November. Finish cabinetry, flooring and other finish work is near complete. There is still significant work and outfitting that needs to occur in the server room. The new projected move in date for the new communications center is now mid-February 2026. Phase 2 of the construction which is the remodeling of the old communications center into offices is slated to begin late February 2026. This project is anticipated to take six months to complete. ● Fire Station 94 (Downtown Brentwood) Construction is well underway. Underground work such as water and other utility lines is nearing completion. A small, unmapped, water line serving the veterans building was located during the construction. This line is being rerouted to continue serving the building on the veterans site. Rodeo-Hercules FPD (RHFPD) Annexation ● The District continues to work with the City of Hercules on transfer of ownership of Fire Station 76, including potential lot line adjustments. ● The benefit assessment appeals process was published in the East Bay Times. The deadline for a property owner to submit an appeal is November 15, 2025. Contra Costa County Hazardous Materials Programs Transition ● Drafts of job descriptions are nearing completion for the positions that will be transferred and transitioned to new Fire District positions represented by IAFF Local 1230. ● A meeting was held with all interested and impacted County department heads to ensure processes, timelines, and areas of interest or concern are being addressed. ● Bi-Weekly planning meetings with staff from the District and County HazMat commenced are continuing. 1025 ESCOBAR STREET MARTINEZ, CA 94553CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Legislation Details (With Text) File #: Version:125-4607 Name: Status:Type:Discussion Item Passed File created:In control:10/23/2025 FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT On agenda:Final action:11/4/2025 11/4/2025 Title:CONSIDER approving and authorizing the Fire Chief, or designee, to enter into an End User Agreement with Allstar Fire Equipment Co., pursuant to the terms and conditions of a Master Agreement issued by the Houston-Galveston Area Council and the Purchasing Agent to execute, on behalf of the Fire Chief, a purchase order with Allstar Fire Equipment, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $5,500,000 for the purchase of emergency rescue breathing apparatus equipment, and approving Budget Amendment No. BDA-25-00160 to appropriate fund balance in the amount of $5,500,000 for this purchase.

FISCAL IMPACT: CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 1/28/2026Page 1 of 3 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4607,Version:1 Due to the failure to secure federal Assistance to Firefighter Grant (AFG) funds, the full amount of $5,500,000 for the purchase of this equipment will be covered by Fire District reserves. Since this is not a budgeted expenditure, the District is also requesting to transfer $5,500,000 from the Fire District’s General Operating Fund Balance to the Fire District’s General Operating budget (FY25-26). BACKGROUND: Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA), along with the firefighter’s personal protective equipment, is the primary safety equipment that allows firefighters to operate in smoke and heat filled environments that are immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH). Operating in IDLH environments, whether to effect a rescue of a fire victim, find and extinguish a fire within a structure, extinguish a vehicle fire or any other fire involving toxic or hazardous smoke, or wearing a hazardous materials entry suit, all require the use of a SCBA. The District has applied for AFG funds to support this project for the last three years, but has been unsuccessful in obtaining a grant award. As a result, the District must purchase this necessary safety equipment without external funding support. The attached report summarizes the history of our current Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) inventory. The report provides details on the age of our inventory, references National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards for replacement, provides an overview of the quantities needed for support firefighting and hazardous materials operations, the evaluation process taken to determine the most suitable SCBA replacement, the evaluation findings, and the evaluation team’s recommendation. The purchase will be made pursuant to a HGAC cooperative purchasing competitive solicitation (HGACBuy Solicitation EE11-24 contract) along with an additional substantial discount from the fire equipment distributor, Allstate Fire Equipment, Inc. The total anticipated costs of the purchase are $5,324,955 including sales tax of 8.75%. The maximum total amount in this board action is proposed at $5,500,000 to account for unforeseen cost increases. This purchase will consist of 435 SCBA with mask-mounted regulators for fire suppression uses, 16 SCBA with mask- mounted regulators for hazardous materials response uses, 800 air cylinders, 700 facepieces, 300 additional mask-mounted regulators, and various other necessary parts and equipment to fully outfit the District’s needs, and completely replace the current aging SCBA equipment in use at all fire stations and on all fire apparatus. It is anticipated the SCBA equipment would be delivered no later than March, 2026 with a projected in-service date and full conversion to the new equipment by the end of May, 2026. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The District would continue to rely on older and aging critical safety equipment.

The majority of the District's approximately 450 SCBAs are Scott Air-Pak 75 4.5 2007 NFPA edition models. Two hundred seventy-ﬁve of these units were acquired in 2013 through a regional federal grant, coinciding with a period of 23 stations and companies operating at their lowest staﬃng levels. In 2018, an additional 25 new AP 75 (2013 NFPA) packs were purchased to equip newly reopened stations and additional companies. Consolidations with other ﬁre districts and the recent acquisition of 60 refurbished AP-75 units have contributed approximately 150 more SCBAs to accommodate the increased number of apparatus. The predominant age of these packs is 13 years, with 50 units exceeding 15 years in age and the remainder being approximately 8 to 10 years old. All units undergo annual servicing and inspection in accordance with OSHA and NFPA recommendations, with repairs conducted as needed. While the hard components and air systems have demonstrated reliability, they are increasingly necessitating repairs and service, which reduces their in-service availability. This is an expected consequence of age and the demanding usage inherent in a busy ﬁre department. The straps and harnesses exhibit the most signiﬁcant wear and have deteriorated notably in recent years. Replacement of these components is costly, requires a certiﬁed Scott repair technician, and mandates ﬂow testing with specialized equipment before units can be returned to service. The mechanical air system has proven highly reliable, with only a few isolated failures that compromised air supply to a degree that could cause serious injury or fatality to personnel. Fortunately, all documented failures occurred during daily testing, training exercises, or, in a few instances, immediately prior to entry into Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) environments. Continued use of aged and worn equipment is projected to lead to an increase in serious failures, with a higher probability of occurrence during critical, life-threatening situations. Eighty percent of the District's equipment is 13 years old; however, some ﬁreﬁghters utilize SCBAs that are 18 years old on any given day. Limited inventory, annual service requirements, and frequent repair needs preclude the retirement of the oldest units. Complete replacement of all SCBA equipment is necessary. A limited or phased replacement over several years is strongly discouraged due to signiﬁcant compatibility issues. New SCBA equipment, regardless of manufacturer, is not compatible with existing buddy breathing systems, a critical safety feature utilized for mutual aid during ﬁreground emergencies. Compatibility is fundamental to ﬁreﬁghter safety and security, ensuring that any fellow ﬁreﬁghter can provide life-saving air in the event of equipment failure. NFPA recommends SCBA replacement after 15 years but permits continued use provided units pass manufacturer testing and parts and service remain available from the manufacturer. Currently, Scott continues to service and produce parts for 2007 edition SCBAs; however, support for this edition is expected to cease in the near future. All personnel are issued a personal facemask, and each apparatus carries a spare mask for use when a personal mask is unavailable or requires repair or replacement. In 2013, all personnel received new AV 3000 model masks. In 2018, all personnel were upgraded to the AV 3000 HT mask, which oﬀered signiﬁcantly improved heat resistance and enhanced safety. Over 600 of the 1100 SCBA cylinders in the District's inventory will reach their 15-year DOT-mandated end-of-life in May, June, and July of 2026. The inventory of 1100 cylinders appears substantial for 450 SCBAs; however, crews limit air usage during training due to the limited availability of full replacement cylinders. Cylinders are reﬁlled at one of the nine ﬁll compressors located within the district's stations, and most stations rely on supply logistics runs twice weekly to maintain spare cylinder inventory. The District possesses a mobile breathing support unit that reﬁlls cylinders for incidents but is not available for company-level training. SCBA Equipment Deployment ● SCBA: 435 for Fire Operations, 16 for HazMat ○ 355 on apparatus, including Apparatus, Chief Oﬃcers, Shift Training Captains (Safety Oﬃcers), Training Captains, and Fire Investigators ○ 16 HazMat SCBA ○ 30 assigned for use by Training Academies ○ 50 service spares ● Masks and Mask Mounted Regulators: ○ 500 Personal Issue ○ 160 on apparatus ○ 90 Replacement stock/spares ● Cylinders: 1100 ○ Approximately 800 cylinders are carried on apparatus. Remaining cylinders are available on racks for incidents, supply, or ﬁlling and rotation. Evaluation Committee ● Captain Brent Boling, Respiratory Protection Program Functional Supervisor ● Engineer Karl Taugher, SCBA Lead Academy Instructor/SME ● Captain Ron Davis, Lead Safety and Survival Academy Instructor/SME ● Captain Jon Taormina ● Captain Skye Johnson ● Captain Nick Vandenburg ● Engineer Rich Bryan Evaluation Process The technical replacement committee attended presentations from Scott, Draeger, and MSA SCBA manufacturers. All three companies demonstrated their top models, encompassing all available features and the latest technology. All models are manufactured in accordance with and meet current OSHA and NFPA standards. All companies agreed to provide at least four of each model, with all available features, for evaluation by the committee and department members. All trial packs were distributed among numerous department members by the committee. Personnel were encouraged to try on all packs for ﬁt, comfort, and ergonomics, and to provide feedback. Packs were utilized in physical training scenarios, simulated ﬁreﬁghting operations, including hose operations, search and rescue situations, and ﬁreﬁghter safety and survival scenarios. Live ﬁre testing was planned but ultimately not conducted, as it became evident that it would not alter the outcome of the ultimately selected model. NOTE: Following the presentations, it was decided that the evaluation would encompass only the MSA and Scott models. Draeger, while a proven leading provider of SCBA in Europe, lacks the market share and logistics to support the repair, service, and warranty of 450+ SCBAs in the District's inventory. Draeger has one technician capable of warranty service repair in Northern California, with the closest warranty shop located in Oregon. Although Draeger stated an intention to hire more technicians and fully support the District's needs, the decision was made that established, proven product service must exist within the immediate area. Both Scott and MSA have multiple warranty/service repair providers in the immediate vicinity, several of whom already provide SCBA and other services to the CCCFPD. Models evaluated: ● Mine Safety Association G1 ● Scott Safety X3 Pro ● Scott Safety XD Wireframe Evaluation Findings All models evaluated are NFPA compliant and meet or exceed all current standards. They share very similar weight, features, and functions. The MSA G1 and Scott X3 models have been in service for many years with proven reliability. The XD model is new but is nearly identical to the Scott AP 75 model currently in service. The primary diﬀerence is that the frame is based on an older, proven "wireframe" platform. The XD frame is constructed from stainless steel to be narrower, more compact, and possess a closer center of gravity. Although very similar in weight, most users reported it felt lighter than the other models. This "return" to an older design was requested by many ﬁre service professionals and has become very popular. Stainless steel resists corrosion and is easy to clean and decontaminate. Both the Scott XD and X3 utilize the same air system with a dual-piston redundant ﬁrst-stage air regulator. Scott's ﬁrst-stage regulator features two pressure-reducing piston systems. If the primary system fails, the secondary system activates, continuing to supply air and alerting the user with a vibratory function. The MSA reducer is designed to fail in the open position. Pressure reducer failures are very rare but do occur, often resulting from inadequate maintenance or age. Personnel reported that all models provided adequate air eﬃciently. Diﬀerences in harnesses, straps, and ergonomics were minor, and none were signiﬁcantly superior to the others. The most signiﬁcant design diﬀerence between Scott and MSA lies in the frame and the ﬁrst-stage pressure-reducing system. MSA's frame is entirely composed of heavy-duty plastic, while both Scott models feature a metal base frame, with the XD being primarily stainless steel. The X3 utilizes a metal alloy frame with an ergonomic plastic back frame structure overlay. All packs were worn comfortably, featuring articulating waist belts and adjustable straps. All straps are completely removable and can be washed by the end-user without tools. The MSA pack includes an adjustable belt for additional comfort. Facemasks were comfortable, available in three sizes, and exhibited very similar ﬁt and feel. Both Scott and MSA provided service technicians who completely deconstructed their packs, revealing all internal workings and designs. Serious concerns were raised regarding MSA's plastic frame, the method of component mounting, and the potential for plastic degradation later in the pack's lifespan. Discussions with other ﬁre departments utilizing MSA G1 packs revealed an increased incidence of cracking and signs of wear as the packs aged. Most reported damage to framing components due to aggressive use during training and incidents. Frame repairs are costly and necessitate specialized tools and manufacturer technicians. Scott users and the District's experience indicate rare frame damage with metal frames. Scott frame failures are overwhelmingly attributed to improper, brute-force usage. Scott hose assemblies and protections are more robust and durable. The District is unaware of catastrophic failures of hose or air supply components with its current Scott SCBAs. Other departments provided several photographs of failures in critical hose components with MSA packs. Both Scott and MSA oﬀer virtually identical features regarding visual and audible alerts and sounds. Scott's low air alert and reducer failure warnings include a vibration for tactile alerting in loud environments. MSA features an LED screen in the shoulder console that provides speciﬁc information, with an option for a thermal imaging camera. Bluetooth connectivity with radios is available with both models; however, Scott is the only one oﬀering bone conduction technology for speakers and microphones. Both oﬀer web-based real-time crew monitoring software that includes information on air level, air usage, and PASS alarm alerts. Both systems require separate modems/receivers on scene. The MSA system requires each individual pack to be within range of the modem. Scott utilizes a "mesh" design wherein information can be passed pack to pack, with at least one pack needing to be connected to the modem for all units to appear in the system. This is a constantly evolving and improving technology, with both systems capable of upgrades without hardware changes. Purchase Recommendation Based on input from the committee and department members, it is recommended that all SCBAs be replaced with Scott XD 4.5 SCBA, C5 masks, E-Z Flo C5 Regulator, and SEMS 3 monitoring systems to ensure the highest level of safety for personnel and optimal service to the communities. The XD model will not necessitate extensive in-service training due to its overwhelming similarities with the current model. Key beneﬁts of acquiring the Scott XD model include: ● Modernization of inventory with current and PA compliant equipment. ● Functional and mechanical operation identical to the current AP 75 models, a proven reliable platform. ● Enhanced comfort and balance through an ergonomic, compact back frame. ● A closer center of gravity, resulting in greater comfort and improved balance. ● Packs are more compact, ﬁt closer to the body, and reduce proﬁle and enhance maneuverability in conﬁned situations, thereby increasing ﬁreﬁghter safety. ● All components are readily accessible and easily cleaned/decontaminated. ● All harness components are completely removable and easily washable in the District's extractors. ● Current remaining inventory of SCBA cylinders can be utilized until their end-of-life. ● Electronic monitoring features will signiﬁcantly improve ﬁreground safety and provide valuable information for training purposes. ● The C5 mask is narrower with a signiﬁcantly wider ﬁeld of vision and oﬀers substantial improvements in voice transmission, bone conduction technology, and eliminates the need for a voice ampliﬁer. ● Improved breathability with increased ﬂow in the regulator, decreasing ﬁreﬁghter fatigue. ● Heads-up display technology fully integrated into the mask-mounted regulator and forward-facing remaining air level lights visible to all. ● Introduction and in-service training will be straightforward due to overwhelming similarities with the previous model. In addition to replacing the 600 expiring cylinders in 2026, an additional 200 cylinders are needed to augment the inventory, for a total of 800 45-minute cylinders. This will provide three additional spare cylinders per company, increase the supply capacity for replacement, and equip the new breathing support unit. The current inventory of cylinders is fully compatible with the XD SCBA and will be utilized until their end-of-life. In 2028, an additional 300 cylinders will reach their end-of-life and require replacement. Remaining cylinders will expire in subsequent years and will be replaced as needed. All new cylinders will feature custom banding with CCCFPD branding. 1025 ESCOBAR STREET MARTINEZ, CA 94553CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Legislation Details (With Text) File #: Version:125-4608 Name: Status:Type:Consent Item Passed File created:In control:10/7/2025 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS On agenda:Final action:11/4/2025 11/4/2025 Title:APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief or designee to execute a contract with C & J Painting, in an amount not to exceed $550,000 to provide on-call painting services at various Fire District facilities, for the period November 1, 2025 through October 31, 2028.

FISCAL IMPACT: There is no immediate fiscal impact from these actions.The selection of firms and the awarding of contracts will be presented to the Board for approval at upcoming meetings.It is expected that all contracts will be paid from the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District’s Capital Construction Fund. BACKGROUND: Typically,public projects are awarded competitively to the lowest bidder through a design-bid-build process.In 2015,the state legislature passed legislation permitting local agencies to use a design- build project procurement method.Under this approach,local agencies rank bidders based on the best value criteria specified in a Request for Qualifications (RFQ)and Request for Proposals (RFP). The public contract code that authorizes design-build procurement requires the local agency’s governing board to approve its use. Contra Costa County has successfully used design-build procurement on several projects,most recently the new Administration Building and Emergency Operations Center.The two main advantages of design-build are faster project completion and improved design,as the final design can CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 2/2/2026Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4611,Version:1 be modified more easily during the construction process. Staff will solicit responses to the RFQ for the project and create a shortlist of qualified design-build entities.Then,staff will seek responses to the RFP from those shortlisted entities and rank them based on the criteria in the RFP.After completing the RFQ and RFP processes for the combined projects,the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District)will present a recommendation to the Board for selecting the design-build contractor. Fire Station 9 is a single-story,single-company station located at 209 Center Ave,Pacheco.Built in 1956,the current station is outdated in supporting staff and equipment for a modern fire protection agency. It will be demolished, and a new station will be constructed on the same site. The new Fire Station 9 will be a two-story,double-company station spanning 15,400 square feet.It will feature offices and crew quarters capable of housing up to nine fire personnel during 48-hour shifts,along with an apparatus bay for storing emergency vehicles when they are not responding to calls. Staff recommends that the Board approve the use of the design-build methodology for this project and authorize staff to start the process by issuing Requests for Qualifications to identify and qualify interested teams. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Not approving these actions could result in higher project costs due to the ongoing escalation of construction costs during the extended design and bidding phases under the traditional procurement method.

BACKGROUND: Contra Costa County Fire Protection District has historically engaged external vendors to administer complex promotional examinations for safety personnel, particularly for management and leadership roles such as Fire Prevention Captain, Battalion Chief, and Assistant Fire Chief. These exams are a critical component of the District’s efforts to ensure a fair promotion process and to identify individuals best equipped to handle the responsibilities of leadership positions. By utilizing external vendors, the District can ensure impartiality, objectivity, and adherence to professional testing standards. Due to an ongoing need for promotional testing driven by anticipated retirements and internal staff movement, the District initiated a Request for Proposal (RFP) process to identify a qualified vendor to support these efforts moving forward. After evaluating several proposals, the District selected CPS HR Consulting based on their proven track record, methodology, and alignment with legal and ethical testing standards. CPS HR Consulting will develop, design, and administer legally-defensible exams that are job-related and fully CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 2/2/2026Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4613,Version:1 comply with the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures, as well as other applicable professional standards. Their approach ensures that promotional assessments will be fair, consistent, and tailored to the specific duties of the roles being tested, thereby enhancing the overall integrity and effectiveness of the District's promotional process. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this contract is not approved, then the Fire District will not have a reliable vendor to administer complex pre- employment exams.

FISCAL IMPACT: 100% CCCFPD General Operating Fund. BACKGROUND: The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District is replacing its current staffing and scheduling platform, UKG Telestaff, with a new purpose-built solution called Stationwise. This transition follows the completion of a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process during which 16 vendor proposals were evaluated using a weighted scoring rubric focused on automation, integration, union/MOU alignment, administrative configurability, reporting capabilities, client references, and cost. The selection of Stationwise is driven by the District’s critical need to automate scheduling, manage vacation and sick leave, handle backfill scheduling, and streamline shift assignments. This new platform is expected to reduce the excessive manual workload currently required of staffing chiefs, estimated at 3 to 5 hours per day. Stationwise offers advanced automation tools, union-aligned bidding and seniority rules, callback functionality, and strong integration with the District’s payroll and records management systems. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 2/2/2026Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4614,Version:1 Peer fire departments in California frequently utilize the Stationwise platform, which allows internal administrators to set up and oversee staffing logic without needing ongoing support from the vendor. This feature aligns with the District’s long-term goals of enhancing efficiency, transparency, and responsiveness in daily operations and emergency staffing. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: If this contract is not approved, the District will need to find alternative ways to replace its current staffing and scheduling software, leading to continued inefficiencies, excessive manual workload for staffing chiefs, and missed opportunities to streamline operations.

FISCAL IMPACT: 100% Budgeted by the CCCFPD General Fund. The estimated annual service cost is $28,800 (16 units x $150/unit/mos. x 12 mos.) and $144,000 for the 5-year term. BACKGROUND: The Fire District formerly had a small, portable supply of satellite phones for use during major disasters. However, this technology was high-priced and had limited features, offering only voice calls without internet access, GPS, or video capabilities. Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by SpaceX,which may provide a reliable,high-speed internet solution that is user-friendly,rapidly deployable,and simple to manage.Its entry-level cost is significantly lower than that of traditional satellite telephone systems.Fire and emergency service agencies have widely adopted Starlink, and it is quickly becoming the industry standard for field communications. Besides disaster response-when cellular networks might be down-Starlink can assist in establishing internet access for command posts in remote parts of the County,such as the Marsh Creek area and Morgan Territory, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 2/2/2026Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:25-4630,Version:1 access for command posts in remote parts of the County,such as the Marsh Creek area and Morgan Territory, where other communication options are limited or nonexistent.High-quality,reliable communication systems enable incident commanders to coordinate response efforts,including requesting additional resources and initiating evacuations. The system will also improve the District’s ability to maintain reliable communications when deployed outside the County to support major disaster responses across California.Many of these incidents occur in remote areas or regions with weak cellular networks, where traditional land mobile radios alone are insufficient. This agreement includes indemnification language and is ongoing;effective upon signature,for a term through November 2030. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Fire District would have to identify alternate sources for high-speed, quality internet services in the event of a disaster.

BACKGROUND: Each year, the Board of Directors adopts a meeting schedule that designates regular meeting dates and any dates on which meetings must be canceled in anticipation that a quorum of the Board will not be present. In order to provide for at least one monthly meeting, the proposed schedule works around those Tuesdays that fall during a week with a District holiday, the fifth Tuesday of a month, and Tuesdays that fall during those weeks in February, May, July, and November in which the annual policy and legislative meetings of the National Association of Counties (NACo) and the California State of Counties (CSAC) are attended by one or more of our Directors. The proposed meeting schedule provides 12 meetings for Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Board of Directors and has been coordinated with the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and the Housing Authority of Contra Costa Board of Commissioners. The proposed meeting schedule recognizes the time demands on the Board members due to their participation on committees, and numerous regional and local legislative bodies and task forces, which require preparation, attendance, and involve travel. There are legal provisions to schedule a special meeting to address any urgent need that cannot be accommodated in the standing meeting schedule. The 2026 proposed meeting schedule has been prepared in consultation with the incoming Board Chair, the County Administrator, and the Housing Authority Executive Director, and is recommended for the Board's adoption. The County Board of Supervisors has already adopted its meeting schedule, and the Housing Authority will take independent action to adopt its meeting schedule. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The Board will be unable to conduct their meetings for 2026.
