County Manager's Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council approve this Contract for General Services as requested.
Body
The Los Alamos Fire Department (LAFD) is requesting approval to purchase a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) Breathing Air and Rehabilitation Trailer through the Sourcewell SCBA Cooperative Purchasing Contract# 011824-LNC. The proposed SCBA Breathing Air and Rehab Trailer will provide firefighters with a reliable, on-scene supply of clean breathing air and a climate-controlled space for rehabilitation and medical monitoring during emergency incidents. This capability is critical during extended operations such as structure fires, wildland fires, hazardous materials incidents, and large scale emergencies.
This purchase supports LAFD's commitment to firefighter safety and operational readiness. The SCBA Breathing Air and Rehabilitation Trailer ensures a reliable on-scene air supply and provides a dedicated, climate-controlled environment for rehabilitation and medical monitoring. This reduces firefighter fatigue, limits exposure risks during extended incidents, and supports industry best practices for responder health and safety.
Alternatives
Defer approval and continue operating without a mobile breathing air and rehabilitation capability, requiring SCBA refilling to occur off-site or through limited alternatives.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
Funding for the mobile SCBA Breathing Air and Rehabilitation Trailer will be funded through existing Fire Marshal fund. No additional impact at this time.
