RE: Fire Chief’s Report
Operations Section Update
● Electric Vehicle (EV) Fires. With the increase in EV fires occurring throughout
the District, we evaluated specialized tools to assist us in enhancing our
operational equipment to improve firefighter safety and emergency response
capabilities. The consistent challenge our firefighters face with EV fires is the
inability to penetrate the sealed battery enclosure to extinguish the fire.
Two Cold Cut Cobra systems are planned for purchase with a total cost of
$200,000 and will be used as a specialized EV and lithium-ion battery fire
suppression tool. It penetrates sealed battery enclosures and delivers
high-pressure water mist combined with an abrasive aggregate directly to
overheated or burning battery cells, enabling firefighters to interrupt thermal
runaway, reduce reignition risk, and limit hazardous vapor release. This capability
is essential for safely managing EV fires, battery energy storage system
incidents, and other high-energy lithium-ion hazards that conventional hose
streams cannot effectively control.
Fire Chief’s Report
Page 2 of 6
Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division
● Ambulance Transport System Performance in 2025. The emergency ambulance
transport program performed at a 94.7% compliance rate for response time
performance across all geographic zones and all call priority types for 2025. The
total number of transports increased by a little more than 1% for a total of 85,680
transports in 2025.
● Nurse Navigation We expanded 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. We will continue to evaluate the
effectiveness of the program with the expanded scope of calls.
● Ambulance Patient Offload Times (APOT) APOT appears to be trending down
when looking at the previous 12 months. In early November, EMS Division staff
participated in a weeklong improvement event, called a Kaizen, at John Muir
Walnut Creek focused on reducing APOT in the Walnut Creek Emergency
Department (ED). These efforts have resulted in significant reductions of ED
offload times. The offload time improvement is illustrated in the APOT report that
is attached. Overall, APOT in the county appears to be improving and we are
thankful to each receiving facility for the effort they are taking to recognize and
mitigate the impacts contributing to patient offload times. EMS Division staff
have scheduled ongoing collaboration meetings with John Muir Health every two
weeks moving forward.
● Emergency Ambulance Contract Extension The two year contract extension with
Contra Costa County and all other ambulance transport-related contracts and
agreements with vendors were extended in the November and December board
actions. These agreements were extended through December 31, 2027.
Training & Safety
● Academy 62. Academy 62 with 15 lateral firefighters commenced on January
5th. The 15 firefighters are intended to provide replacements for current and
anticipated vacancies due to retirements upcoming in March, 2026.
● Annual Training Hours. The District logged just under 110,000 hours of fire based
training for the year. This is in addition to EMS training for our field personnel.
● NERIS (National Emergency Response Information System) Implementation.
The Training & Safety Division has been focused on the NERIS roll out.
Significant effort was made to ensure the system was workable and the division
delivered 15 training sessions to personnel. The District is online and compliant
with the new national reporting standard.
Fire Chief’s Report

Community Risk Reduction Section
Fire Prevention Bureau
● State Mandated Inspections. The Code Enforcement Unit ended 2025 by
completing 100% of the State Mandated Inspections just before the holidays. The
statistics and required SB 1205 report will be submitted to the board next month
for approval.
● Code Adoptions. January 1, 2026 was the start date for the 2025 California Fire
Code and 2025 California Wildland Urban Interface Code. After the board
approved the two ordinances with local amendments, the Fire Marshal and
Deputy Fire Marshal attended local city council meetings to assist in the adoption
process and answer any questions from the public, elected officials and city staff.
● Wildfire Mitigation Work continues in the off-season with Crew 12, Civicorps and
our contractor, Powers Forestry. Phase II of the Windy Flats mitigation in San
Pablo started on Monday January 11. In order to reduce the overgrown
vegetation on this project, approximately 40 unhoused people were relocated.
This project could not have occurred without the collaboration from County
Health, CORE, H3, City of San Pablo, the Fire District, San Pablo Police
Department, Cal Trans, and San Pablo Public Works. This work should
dramatically reduce the fire hazard that has existed in this location for the last
several years, with multiple wildland fires occurring each year.
Legislation & Grants
● SB 828. Deputy Fire Marshal Aubert provided testimony in support of SB 828
on January 13 before the Senate Governmental Organizations Committee and
on January 14 before the Senate Local Government Committee, on behalf of
the District and the California Fire Chiefs Association. SB 828 strengthens
California’s fireworks licensing and storage laws by closing regulatory gaps that
have allowed unsafe operations to go undetected.
● Zone 0 and Home Hardening Regulations. (no significant update) The State
Board of Forestry continues to hold committee meetings on this subject, with the
next committee meeting scheduled for April, 2026.
Fire Chief’s Report

Administration Section Update
Support Services Division
● Assistant Fire Chief Appointment. Battalion Chief Sam Nichols was appointed to
the Assistant Fire Chief position leading the Support Services Division. Chief
Nichols has demonstrated his leadership in a variety of Operations and Training
positions. He has jumped in with both feet and his sharp attention to detail,
analytical mindset, and servant leadership perspective will serve him well in his
new role.
● New Fire Equipment Mechanic. We are excited to welcome Timothy Tomas, who
has joined the District as an Equipment Mechanic to support the Shop's work on
our light fleet vehicles. His primary responsibilities include the “upfitting”
installation of Code 3 lights and sirens on District vehicles.
● Fire Station 86 Storm Drain Repair. The storm drain system at Fire Station 86 in
BayPoint sustained significant damage due to a fire in the underground pipe over
the summer. The District replaced the damaged piping, ensuring the storm drain
system will function property this winter.
● New Wildland Engines. Two new Type 6 engines were placed into service in
December. One was assigned to Station 73 (E-673) in Pinole, which allowed the
District to strategically move a Type 3 engine to Station 74 (E-374) in Pinole. The
second Type 6 engine was placed in service at Station 92 (E-692) in Brentwood.
These additions have significantly increased the capacity and versatility of our
wildland apparatus fleet, enhancing our response capabilities during fire season.
● Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The District is currently concluding its
2025 annual PPE inspection program, a mandatory safety program for all
personnel issued protective gear. Since beginning in July 2025, the District has
successfully processed 793 sets of PPE, which include the systematic inspection
and rotation of both primary and secondary sets for each firefighter. The PPE
undergoes advanced cleaning and repairs as needed by a verified Independent
Service Provider (ISP) compliant with NFPA 1851 standards to ensure safety. We
are on track to complete the final rotations and will initiate the 2026 inspection
cycle this coming July.
● New Dual Use PPE. In addition to our structural firefighting PPE maintenance,
the District is finalizing the rollout of our new VersaPro Plus dual-certified PPE.
These specialized garments are dual-certified to NFPA 1951 (Technical Rescue)
and NFPA 1977 (Wildland Firefighting) standards. This lightweight, breathable
gear is designed for technical rescues, motor vehicle accidents, and medical
incidents, helping us reduce heat stress and limit personnel exposure to
contaminants often found on structural turnout gear.
Communications Division
● Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) Rebuild. The CAD rebuild continues
to progress and is tentatively set for implementation early April 2026
after completion of the new 911 communications center and
data/server room projects.
Fire Chief’s Report
Page 5 of 6
● County HazMat Move. The District and our IT consultant continue to
assist County Hazmat with their early move to 4005 Port Chicago
Highway, Concord, and the pending July 1, 2026 transition into the Fire
District.
New Fire Stations / Major Facilities Construction
● Fire Station 90 (Brentwood) The fire station's architectural team is working with
the County's architectural team on the youth center. Together, the site plan is
coming into alignment with how the two projects fit together. CEQA studies are
underway for areas including noise, traffic, air quality, and cultural resources.
District Staff will present the Fire Station project to the community and the City
Council in an informational item on January 13th, 2025.
● Fire Station 9 (Pacheco) The District received seven responses to the
Request for Qualifications for a Design-Build Entity for Fire Station 9 in
Pacheco. The responses are currently under review and the top three teams
will advance to the Request for Proposals phase. CEQA studies continue.
Once the CEQA studies are complete, the project application will be completed
and filed with County Planning. Design work on the temporary Fire Station 9
at Buchanan Field will begin this month.
● 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. All electrical switch gear
has been installed and PG&E primary power is now present in the building.
Finish work throughout the building continues and is approximately 95%
complete. The data center/server room is almost complete. After final
completion of the data center/server room, the District and our IT consultant
will begin installation of all the equipment and servers in the IT racks. There
are still numerous major milestones to accomplish prior to opening the new
center. The latest projected date to occupy the center is mid to late March
2026.
● Fire Station 94 (Downtown Brentwood) Construction remains in progress. The
building is “vertical” with the steel beams affixed to the footings. Much of the
underground utility work is complete. With vertical construction bow in
progress, the building will begin to take shape in the coming months.
Public Information Office
● This year the Fire District embarked on a new program to collect toys for families
in need. Through the generosity of the community, more than 1,500 toys were
donated at fire stations throughout the District. This year, Contra Costa Fire
hosted toy drive events at Fire Station 10 in Concord, Fire Station 82 in Antioch,
Fire Station 92 in Brentwood, and Fire Station 76 in Hercules. These events also
welcomed community members to meet Santa and our firefighters.
Fire Chief’s Report
Page 6 of 6
The toy drives were organized by Firefighter Rene Arevalo, in partnership with
Local 1230, and with support from Fire Prevention Specialist Julie Ormerod. The
Fire District partnered with the Brentwood Regional Community Chest, Antioch
Police Department, and with Contra Costa County Child Support Services to
distribute the donated toys within the County.
● Fire Station 95, which included Captain Michael Dunham, Engineer Jared
Gavard, and Firefighters Scott Barger and Caden Jones, also participated in two
long-standing holiday events, the Bethel Island Children's Support Christmas
Party, which saw more than 300 people and Bethel Island's Annual Santa's Stack
Toy and Food Delivery, where firefighters personally delivered gifts and meals
alongside other community volunteers.
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.
Contra Costa County Hazardous Materials Programs Transition
● Drafts of job descriptions were completed and submitted to County HR and Labor
Relations for review for the positions that will be transferred and transitioned to
new Fire District positions represented by IAFF Local 1230.
● Draft Cal EPA application information is being reviewed by County Counsel.
● Planning meetings with staff from the District and County HazMat were increased
to weekly effective with the new year to keep pace with the upcoming transition
date of July 1, 2026.
● District staff are working with County Health Haz-Mat to support their early move
to 4005 Port Chicago Highway in Concord. The group will be located on the first
floor of the Fire District Administration building in early February.

amendment with CDW Government Inc.,to increase the payment limit by $550,000 to a new payment limit of
$1,325,000, and extend the term through November 30, 2028, for the purchase of computer equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Budgeted. 100% CCCFPD General Operating Fund.
BACKGROUND:
Within the last four years,the District has experienced significant growth,due to the annexation of the former
East Contra Costa Fire Protection District,the contract with the City of Pinole,the addition of the Rodeo-
Hercules departments and the forthcoming addition of the county Hazmat teams.These major organizational
changes and the introduction of the County’s new finance system,Workday;have increased the need to procure
computer equipment that will enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness within the District through an
agreement with an Information Technology distributor.
The Fire District utilizes computer equipment such as tablets,laptops,desktop computers and the
accompanying accessories in all of its operations from fire stations to administration.The District uses iPads on
every apparatus to track and improve response time efficiency.The Fire Prevention Bureau uses tablets to
provide real time billing and permit information to customers while at inspection sites.
In December 2023,the Board approved a purchase order for the Fire District with CDW Government Inc.for
an amount of $275,000.In February 2025,the District requested to add funds to a total of $775,000 and extend
the term date of the original purchase order and is now asking for an additional $550,000,and to extend the

term through November 30,2028 to better equip the growing organization with replacement computer
equipment.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved,the Fire District would not be able to procure the necessary equipment within the
desired timeframe which would affect operational efficiency.

☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent or designee,on behalf of the Fire Chief,to execute a
purchase order with Bluebeam,Inc.in an amount not to exceed $50,000 for the purchase of construction
blueprint software for an initial one year term beginning January 19,2026,and for automatic annual renewal
terms thereafter in accordance with Bluebeam’s General Terms and Conditions until terminated by either party.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Budgeted. 100% CCCFPD General Operating Fund. The current annual cost of this software is $5,000, and the
automatic annual renewals are expected to remain flat initially. However, to account for potential inflation over
time, the payment limit amount will cover several renewal years, as well as, year-over-year increases each not
to exceed 5%.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD) is currently utilizing a records management system,
AMANDA, that provides the ability to upload construction blueprints online to the Bluebeam drawings
software. Bluebeam is moving to a new version of this software making it necessary to upgrade to the new
software version. This will allow CCCFPD the continued use of the Bluebeam web portal to review and edit
blueprints submitted by the public electronically.
The uninterrupted use of Bluebeam’s Studio Prime software and its software maintenance services is integral to
allow CCCFPD the ability to continue to effectively review and edit customers’ construction blueprints.

This agreement includes limitation of liability and indemnification for the County to hold Bluebeam, Inc.
harmless from any claims arising out of the performance under this agreement.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this subscription, and its terms and conditions, are not approved, the existing licenses are set to expire. If new
licenses are not purchased, CCCFPD will no longer be able to access Bluebeam’s blueprint software and lose
the ability to efficiently review and edit client’s construction blueprints. This will cause delays in delivering
service to clients as these blueprints will need to be reviewed and edited by hand.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a Participating Addendum with
SeaWestern Enterprises, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $200,000 for the procurement of two (2) Cold Cut
Cobra cutting and extinguishment systems, fire suppression tools, through Sourcewell Contract No. 020124.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Budgeted. 100% CCCFPD General Operating Fund.
BACKGROUND:
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District continuously evaluates and enhances its operational
equipment to improve firefighter safety and emergency response capabilities. The Fire District has experienced
multiple electric vehicle fires, and consistently, the challenge is to penetrate the sealed battery enclosure to
extinguish the fire.
The Cold Cut Cobra system will be used as a specialized electric-vehicle (EV) and lithium-ion battery fire
suppression tool. It penetrates sealed battery enclosures and delivers high-pressure water mist combined with
an abrasive aggregate directly to overheated or burning battery cells, enabling firefighters to interrupt thermal
runaway, reduce reignition risk, and limit hazardous vapor release. This capability is essential for safely
managing EV fires, battery energy storage system incidents, and other high-energy lithium-ion hazards that
conventional hose streams cannot effectively control.
The proposed purchase aligns with the District’s ongoing efforts to modernize equipment, adopt proven
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 3/12/2026Page 1 of 2
powered by Legistar™
File #:26-220,Version:1
firefighting technologies, and implement best practices in emergency response. Procuring the system through a
competitively awarded cooperative purchasing contract enables the District to obtain this capability efficiently
while ensuring fiscal responsibility.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this action is not approved,the District will lack the safe and effective capability to mitigate electric-vehicle
and lithium-ion battery fires.Fire crews will be forced to rely on conventional hose streams that cannot
penetrate sealed battery enclosures,increasing the risk of prolonged thermal runaway,firefighter exposure to
toxic and flammable gases,repeated re-ignitions,extended road closures,and greater damage to surrounding
property and infrastructure.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
ACCEPT a report on the receipt and disbursement of development impact fees, collected on behalf of the
Contra Costa County Fire Protection District to address capital needs necessitated by growth, for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Report only. No fiscal impact.
BACKGROUND:
In California, State legislation sets certain legal and procedural parameters for the charging of public facilities
fees, also commonly referred to in communities as development impact fees (DIFs). This legislation was passed
as AB1600 by the California Legislature and is now codified as California Government Code §§ 66000 through
66008 (commonly referred to as the “Mitigation Fee Act”). This law went into effect on January 1, 1989, and
was intended to create transparency in the collection, retention, and use of development impact fees.
The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) receives DIFs, collected during the building permit
process, in the cities of Antioch, Brentwood, Oakley, and Pittsburg, and in the unincorporated areas of Contra
Costa County. DIFs are intended to mitigate the impact of new construction service demands on District capital
needs. The funds are primarily used for major capital outlay projects, such as specialized heavy fire apparatus
and facility construction.
For each separate account or fund established, the local agency is required, within 180 days after the last day of
each fiscal year, to make certain information for that fiscal year available to the public. The District posted the
attached report to its website within the prescribed timeframe to fulfill the reporting requirements. It includes
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY Printed on 3/12/2026Page 1 of 2

the following information:
·A brief description of the type of fee in each account or fund;
·The amount of the fee;
·The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund;
·The amount of the fees collected and the interest earned;
·An identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and
·the amount of each expenditure;
·An identification of the approximate date by which the construction of the public
·improvement will commence;
·A description of any inter-fund transfer or loan and the public improvement on which the transferred
funds will be expended; and
·The amount of refunds made and any allocations of unexpended fees that are not refunded. (Gov. Code
§ 6606(b)(1).)
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The District would be out of compliance with the Mitigation Fee Act's reporting requirements.

Annual Development Impact Fee Report
Prepared by NBS
DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE REPORT
The California Mitigation Fee Act (Government Code Sections 66000 et seq.) mandates procedures for administration of impact fee programs, including
collection and accounting, reporting, and refunds. Regarding reporting requirements, the Mitigation Fee Act requires annual reporting for each impact
fee fund, as well as an additional five-year reporting process. This report meets the requirements described in 1.1 Annual Report, below. A combined
Annual and Five-Year Report was completed in 2024 and will next be provided in 2029.
1.1 Annual Report Requirements
Section 66006 (b) (1) requires that once each year, within 180 days of the close of the fiscal year, the local agency must make available to the public the
following information for each separate account established to receive impact fee revenues:
1. A brief description of the type of fee in the account or fund; (report section 2)
2. The amount of the fee; (report section 2)
3. The beginning and ending balance of the account or fund; (report section 3)
4. The amount of the fees collected, and interest earned; (report section 3)
5. Identification of each public improvement on which fees were expended and the amount of the expenditures on each improvement, including
the total percentage of the cost of the public improvement that was funded with fees; (report section 4)
6. Identification of the approximate date by which the construction of a public improvement will commence, if the District determines sufficient
funds have been collected to complete financing of an incomplete public improvement; An identification of each public improvement identified
in a previous report and whether construction began on the approximate date noted in the previous report. For a project identified for which
construction did not commence by the approximate date provided in the previous report, the reason for the delay and a revised approximate
date that the local agency will commence construction. (report section 4)
7. A description of each inter-fund transfer or loan made from the account or fund, including interest rates, repayment dates, and a description of
the improvement on which the transfer or loan will be expended; (report section 5)
8. The amount of any refunds or allocations made pursuant to Section 66001, paragraphs (e) and (f). (report section 6)
The annual report must be reviewed by the District’s Board of Directors at its next regularly scheduled public meeting, but not less than 15 days after the
statements are made public, per Section 66006 (b)(2).

1.2 Five-Year Report
Prior to 1996, The Mitigation Fee Act required that a local agency collecting impact fees was required to expend or commit impact fee revenue within
five years or make findings to justify a continued need for the money, otherwise those funds had to be refunded. SB 1693, adopted in 1996 as an
amendment to the Mitigation Fee Act, changed that requirement in material ways.
Now, Section 66001 (d) requires that, for the fifth fiscal year following the first deposit of any impact fee revenue into an account or fund as required by
Section 66006 (b), and every five years thereafter, the local agency shall make all of the following findings for any fee revenue that remains unexpended,
whether committed or uncommitted:
1. Identify the purpose to which the fee will be put;
2. Demonstrate the reasonable relationship between the fee and the purpose for which it is charged;
3. Identify all sources and amounts of funding anticipated to complete financing of incomplete improvements for which impact fees are to be used;
4. Designate the approximate dates on which the funding necessary to complete financing of those improvements will be deposited into the
appropriate account or fund.
Those findings are to be made in conjunction with the annual reports discussed above. If such findings are not made as required by Section 66001, the
local agency could be required to refund the moneys in the account or fund, per Section 66001 (d).
Once the agency determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on incomplete improvements for which impact fee revenue
is to be used, it must, within 180 days of that determination, identify an approximate date by which construction of the public improvement will be
commenced (Section 66001 (e)). If the agency fails to comply with that requirement, it must refund impact fee revenue in the account according to
procedures specified in Section 66001 (d).

CURRENT IMPACT FEES
Development impact fees (DIFs) collected by the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) are one-time charges levied on new development
to fund various infrastructure, facilities, vehicles, and equipment. The purpose of development impact fees are to pay for new development’s
proportionate share of the cost of providing fire protection facilities to serve future development within the District’s service area. Impact fee revenues
collected will be used to pay for future fire protection facilities needed to serve future development accordingly.
Prior to 2021, the District provided fire protection services to the cities of Antioch, Clayton, Concord, Lafayette, Martinez, Pittsburg, Pleasant Hill, San
Pablo, Walnut Creek, and other unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County. The District’s impact fee schedule for this service area was most recently
updated and approved by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on July 19, 2019. The fee calculations are substantiated by the “Fire Facilities
Impact Fee Study, Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, July 25, 2017”, prepared by consulting firm, Willdan Financial Services. The action taken in
2019 by the Board of Supervisors approved fees as applicable in the unincorporated areas of the County served by the District and within the cities of
Antioch and Pittsburg. At the time of this report, most cities other than Antioch and Pittsburg do not appear to be collecting impact fees for fire facilities,
while a few may have implemented their separate impact fee programs at the City-level.
In September 2021 the Board of Directors of both Contra Costa County Fire Protection District and the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District (East
County Fire) unanimously approved the annexation of East County Fire into the District. The annexation added the cities of Oakley and Brentwood and a
large area within unincorporated eastern Contra Costa County to the overall service area covered by the District. At the time of the merger, East County
Fire had a separate set of impact fees that applied within its service area, and those fees continue to be charged by the County and individual cities
within the District’s service area today.
East County Fire’s Impact fee schedule was most recently updated and approved by the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors on November 3, 2020.
The action taken by the Board of Supervisors approved fees as applicable in the unincorporated areas of the County served by East County Fire. The city
councils of Brentwood and Oakley also adopted the East County Fire impact fee schedule on July 23, 2020, and February 23, 2021, respectively. The fee
calculations are substantiated by the “East Contra Costa Fire Protection District, Final Report, Development Impact Fee Study, March 11, 2020”, prepared
by consulting firm, NBS.
2.1 Types of Impact Fees and Associated Funds
The fees documented in the body of this Annual Development Impact Fee Report (Report) are deposited and administered through the accounting

REFUNDS
The refunding requirements for the Mitigation Fee Act are summarized as follows:
Refunds under the Mitigation Fee Act: If the District determines that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing on incomplete
improvements for which impact fee revenue is to be used, it must, within 180 days of that determination, identify an approximate date by which
construction of the public improvement will be commenced (Government Code Section 66001 (e)). If the agency fails to comply with that requirement, it
must refund impact fee revenue in the account according to procedures specified in Section 66001 (d).
As discussed in Section 4 of this report, determinations regarding sufficient funds collected to complete incomplete improvements are provided by the
District’s annual Capital Improvement Plan. The District has not made a determination that sufficient funds have been collected to complete financing of
any other incomplete public improvements. No refunds of impact fee monies were made or required.
Disclaimer: In preparing this report and any analysis and findings included herein, NBS has relied on several principal assumptions and considerations regarding financial matters, conditions and events that
occurred or may occur in the future. This information and assumptions, including the District’s budgets, financial reports, capital project data, and other information were provided by sources we believe to be
reliable; however, NBS has not independently verified such information and assumptions. While we believe NBS’ use of such information and assumptions is reasonable for the purpose of this report, some
assumptions will invariably not materialize as stated herein and may vary due to unanticipated events and circumstances.

☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
DECLARE as surplus, and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to donate twelve (12) X3 Self-Contained
Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) units, including associated components, from the inventory of the Contra Costa
County Fire Protection District to the Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District (CCFPD), at no cost, in
accordance with applicable County policies governing the disposition of surplus equipment.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with the donation of this equipment as the equipment has reached the end
of its use with the District.
BACKGROUND:
The CCCFPD has recently upgraded its SCBA inventory and identified twelve (12) X3 SCBA units as surplus.
These units are no longer required for CCCFPD operations but remain functional and suitable for use by
partner agencies.
The Crockett-Carquinez Fire Protection District has requested these units to support frontline and reserve
operations. The donation will enhance firefighter safety, support regional interoperability, and strengthen
mutual-aid readiness between agencies at no cost to the County.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve this action, CCCFPD will retain surplus SCBA units that are not needed for
District operations, and Crockett-Carquinez Fire will forgo the opportunity to improve operational safety and
