SUBJECT: purchase of one (1) Kawasaki Mule for Contra Costa Health Services Hazardous Materials Programs
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Health Services Department, to purchase one
(1) Kawasaki Mule 4010 utility vehicle.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Total Cost of the Kawasaki Mule 4010 (incl. Tax) is $9,786.43. The State Homeland Security
Grant (FY 2007) has approved this amount for the purchase of this vehicle.
BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
At this time the hazardous materials teams in Contra Costa County do not have a utility vehicle to
transport hazardous materials teams or equipment at an incident. This Kawasaki Mule 4010 utility
vehicle will support Contra Costa County's hazardous materials response teams during hazardous
materials incidents. This utility vehicle, being purchased through the State Homeland Security
Grant, will allow hazardous materials teams to transport personnel and equipment to the hot zone
during a hazardous materials incident. This utility vehicle would have been of use during the
Walnut Creek pipeline fire to transport personnel from the Incident Command Post to the pipeline
rupture and for train derailments that may have limited access and cover a long distance.
This vehicle will be maintained and stored by Health Services — Hazardous Materials Programs
and will be available to San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District HazMat and Richmond Fire
Department HazMat teams. This Kawasaki Mule will supplement the one Kawasaki Mule that
Sheriff OES currently has and will be available to Law Enforcement and Fire to support their
operations that may include the Mutual Aid Mobile Field Force and Search and Rescue.
