SUBJECT: Riverview Fire Protection District {,Y'
Emergency Vehicle Pre-Emption Project Phase I
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Authorize Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute a contract with
St. Francis Electric, for the period of January 1, 1992 to December
31, 1992, for the provision of installing vehicle pre-emption
equipment related to the Riverview Fire Protection District.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The award of this contract will result in a cost to the Riverview
Fire Protection District of $45,730 in 1991-1992 . The contract
amount is included in the District's 1991-1992 budget.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONJBACKGROUND -
Emergency vehicle pre-emption systems enable fire districts to
respond to emergencies in a more safe and timely manner. The
emergency vehicle pre-emption system enables an emergency vehicle
to override the normal operation of traffic signals to provide a
corridor of green lights in the direction of travel of the
emergency vehicle. The system obviates the usual practice of
having to slow down and proceed cautiously through red lights when
responding to emergencies.
Emergency vehicle pre-emption systems have been installed in the
Moraga Fire Protection District and are currently being installed
in the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District. The award of
this contract will enable the Riverview Fire Protection District to
continue the conversion of traffic signals in its district to the
emergency vehicle pre-emption system. The system will be
implemented in conjunction with the cities of Antioch and
Pittsburg, and the unincorporated areas of West Pittsburg.
