~.
Recommendation to apPl'Ovethe after-the-fact submittal of a Federal Emergency
Management Agency Assistaneeto Firefighter's Grant in the alDOunt Qf$100,928 for tile
purchaseer new self contained breathing apparatus and portable radios for the Ochopee
Fire Control District
OJUECTIVE: To obtain an after-the-fact approval of a Federal Emergency Management
Agency Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) for the purchase of self contained breathing
apparatus and portable radios for continued protection of the Ochopee Fire Control District.
CONSIDERATIONS: .Ochopee Fire Control District has received this type of grant from the
Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA) in past years. At this time the District is
in dire need of replacing its existing self contained breathing apparatus that is no 101lger
compliant with presenLstandards. There is no compatibility with the other Fire Districts due to
the difference of equipment and having interchangeable gear on scene is crucial to the safety of
personnel. Our current portable radios have reached their life expectancy and are no longer
compliant with FCC Regulations therefore new equipment is necessary. The replacement of this
equipment will increase personnel safety and firefighting resources in the District.
The AFG grant program typjcally provides only a month for development and submittal of grant
applications. This application period has been delayed 4 months and only 25 days is allowed for
application. Unfortunateiy, in the rush to get the application materials together and submit the
r"\ _ application on-time, Ochopee Fire Control District will need to submit the grant via ..the
electronic submittal process prior to getting proper BCC approval to submit. The Ochopee Fire
Control District has received County Manager approval that will be documented by the grant
deadline. This approval follows standard practice as outlined in CMA #5330 for after-the-fact
approval of grant applications.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total cost of the equipment is $200,928. This is a 95/5 matching grant
split between FEMA and the Ochopee Fire Control District with FEMA providing 95% of the
costs at $190,882. If awarded, the District's share of 5% in the amount of $10,046 will be
funded from Reserves Fund 146 (Ochopee Fire Control District). Following the award a~t
agreement will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners along with budget
amendments to recognize grant funds in Fund 713, Bureau of Emergency Services Grants.and to
transfer matching funds to Fund 714, Bureau of Emergency Services.match in Project.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMP ACT: There is no Growth Management impact associated
with this Executive Summary.
LE~~ CQNS~TJQNS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney~. is
legally sufficient forBoarciactip1l, and requires majority support for.approval. -JAK

RECOMMENDATION: . That the Board of County Commissioners approve the after-the-fact
submittal of a grant to Federal Emergency Management Agency's Assistance to Firefighters
Grant (AFG) for the purchase of selfcontained breathing apparatus and portable radios.

Our grant request is to purchase portable radios
which meets the most current standard of FCC,
State, and Local requirments. Presently our
portable radios were bought in 1996 and are no
longer serviceable. They cannot be rebanded to
meet new FCC requirments and are not
upgradable to new digital standards. They will not
be capable of interoperability with any
surrounding agencies or regional response
teams. In addition the portable radios we are
requesting will allow the department to implement
an accountability system via 'rNo-way radio
tracking through the digital system. This will
provide an increased level of safety during
incidents as software for monitoring of personnel
locations will be implemented in the digital radios.
The units will be compliant to interoperate with
surrounding agencies and regional response
teams The units will also be equipped to operate
in mutual and auto aid instances. This grant
request will enhance our department's ability to
protect the health and safety of our personnel
and citizens as well as a large transient
population we serve through the interstate
system. The grant will address our ability to
respond to all hazardous incidents (CBRNE) and
become compliant with regional response teams.
This grant will also allow for interagency
operability during disaster events. All personnel
have been trained in the use of portable radios.
