Dear Mr. Collier:
The Fire Service Proposal that the Orange County Fire Authority submitted to the City of Fullerton in November 2021 indicated that the proposed costs would remain valid through June 2022. As the City continues to evaluate the OCFA’s Proposal, we are providing updated proposal costs that will be effective July 1, 2022, should Fullerton choose to join OCFA. Below is a comparison of the FY 20 21/22 costs that were reflected in our Fire Services Proposal, with updated costs for FY 2022/23, reflecting an overall increase of 1.53%.
OCFA Contract Costs FY 2021/22 FY 2022/23
Service Charge 21,137,238 21,416,249
Facilities Maintenance 90,000 90,000
Vehicle Depreciation 282,752 331,786
Total Contract Charge 21,509,990 21,838,035
Total % Increase 1.53%
In addition, our Fire Services Proposal reflected start-up costs necessary for the transition of fire services. Those start-up costs were estimated based on costs that would be incurred by OCFA for applicable services, supplies, and equipment. We remain committed to holding these start-up costs unchanged through September 30, 2022, at which time we will conduct an updated review to determine if adjustments are needed to our start-up costs.
We look forward to co ntinued discussions with you and your staff, and hope to achieve a future contract for services.
Respectfully,
Brian Fennessy
Fire Chief
