Item 13o - Purchase of Vehicle Extrication Rescue Equipment for Fire Dept.

DATE: June 21, 2022

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council

FROM: Barry R. Spriggs, Fire Chief
By: Tom Devlin, Battalion Chief

SUBJECT: PURCHASE ORDER WITH L. N. CURTIS AND SONS FOR THE

PURCHASE OF HURST E-DRAULIC RESCUE TOOLS IN THE AMOUNT
OF $122,000
Recommendation: Approve

SUMMARY

The Fiscal Year 202 2-23 Equipment Acquisition Budget allocates funding for the purchase of hydraulic vehicle extrication equipment for Fire Truck 705 and Urban Search and Rescue 106. L.N. Curtis and Sons is the sole distributor of Hurst Jaws of Life, Inc. tools within the Los Angeles area. Current models utilize “e-draulic” technology, enabling it to operate the equipment faster and at a higher performance using electrical power rather than with hydraulic hoses and power units . The Fire Department’s current Hurst vehicle extrication rescue equipment has reached its useful life cycle and is due for replacement. Therefore, it is recommended that the City Council approve, direct, and authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase order with L.N. Curtis and Sons for the purchase of Hurst e-draulic rescue tools in the amount of $122,000.

BACKGROUND

Rescue tools are an essential resource for the protection of the life and safety of victims involved in vehicle accidents where the occupants become trapped. As such, the Fire Department must maintain serviceable rescue tools offering appropriate r esource and response needs. In 2019, realizing the critical need for its replacement and that technological advances in the vehicle industry were outperforming the D epartment’s rescue equipment capabilities, the Fire Department formed a committee to evaluate, examine, and test the different makes and models of rescue tool manufacturers and determined that Hurst Jaws of Life, Inc. or “Hurst” rescue products met all the Department’s equipment standards in this category . This review also resulted in the recommendation to use an “e-draulic” type of rescue tool that is manufactured specifically by Hurst. These rescue devices are new generation, battery-operated tools offering faster operational speeds, and additional power and strength to cut, spread, and remove the

stronger materials of vehicles manufactured today. In March 2022, another evaluation by the committee was conducted and reaffirmed that the e-draulic tools by Hurst continue to have the functionality, durability, and design that best meets the industry standard for current rescue tools and auto extrication needs.

Finally, Hurst’s e-draulic new generation of vehicle extrication rescue tools will be supported by the manufacturer for 15 years offering support, service, replacement parts, and batteries. This length of warranty will help reduce annual maintenance and repair expenditures by maximizing the functionality of such equipment for the next 15 years by Hurst Jaws of Life rescue products. These battery-operated versions are also fossil-fuel- free and environmentally friendly. They offer updated power and speed as well as a quieter operation allowing for better communications during rescue operations and a less stressful environment for all.

DISCUSSION

The Fire Department budgeted funds for Fiscal Year 202 2-23 to purchas e e-draulic vehicle extrication equipment for both Fire Truck 705 and the Urban Search and Rescue (“USAR”) 106 vehicles. This equipment includes a spreader, a cutter, a combination tool, two (2) rams, and associated spare batteries and chargers . The Fire Department also received $50,000 in grant funds from the 2020 State Homeland Security Grant Program (“HSGP”) for the purchase of vehicle extrication equipment specifically for USAR 106.

The California Government Code authorizes public agencies to participate in cooperative purchase agreements such as those established by Sourcewell while remaining within the City’s adopted rules and procedures for purchasing. Sourcewel l is a State of Minnesota agency and service cooperative purchasing program that was created under the laws of the State of Minnesota (Statutes Section 123A.21) that offers cooperative procurement solutions to all U.S. public agencies.

By utilizing a coop erative purchasing program, the City is able to streamline the procurement process for these services at a lower cost than the traditional competitive bidding process. Cooperative purchasing agreements also leverage economies of scale to enable vendors to provide goods and services at reduced costs. I n May 2020, Sourcewell entered into an agreement with L.N. Curtis and Sons through May 2024 to provide firefighting equipment, products , and services including extrication tools manufactured by Hurst . A copy of the agreement between Sourcewell and L.N. Curtis and Sons is attached. The bidding process and the contract between Sourcewell and L.N. Curtis and Sons have been reviewed by the Fire Department and it has been determined to meet the City’s pr ocurement requirements. Also, the City has previously contracted with L.N. Curtis and Sons with similar rescue equipment type and has been satisfied with their service.

Of this total budget allocation, $50,000 (41%) in grant funding has been secured from the 2020 HSGP to cover the purchase of the e- draulic vehicle extrication equipment assigned to USAR 106.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a project and is therefore, exempt under , the California Environ mental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and approve, direct, and authorize the City Manager to execute a Purchase Order with L.N. Curtis and Sons for the purchase of Hurst e -draulic rescue tools in the amount of $122,000.
