Background/Analysis Report to Redding City Council August 12,2026 Re: 4.8(a)--Approve Amendment to Self Contained Breathing Apparatus Equipment Page 2 On May 19, 2026, the City Council approved the purchase of replacement Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) equipment. At the time the staff report did not include the grant- funded RIT packs for purchase authorization. As a result, the Council-approved purchase did not reflect the inclusion of the grant-funded RIT packs. RIT packs provide an emergency air supply for firefighters who become trapped, injured, or otherwise unable to exit a hazardous environment. Including the RIT Packs in the SCBA purchase will improve firefighter safety by ensuring Rapid Intervention Teams have the equipment necessary to perform firefighter rescue operations. This amendment updates the previously approved SCBA purchase to include the RIT packs, ensuring the purchase authorization accurately reflects the complete equipment package. The total purchase amount is $1,021,065.84, of which $54,787.61 will be funded through the Buckeye Fire Protection District funds. This amendment does not increase the City's financial obligation or require additional local funding. The addition of the RIT packs enhances firefighter safety by ensuring personnel have dedicated emergency breathing equipment available for fire�ghter rescue operations while maximizing the use of available funds. Environmental Review This activity is not a project as defined by the California Environmental Quality Act, and no action is required at this time. Council Priority/City Manager Goals � Public Safety — "Work to improve all aspects of public safety to help people feel secure and safe where they live, work and play in the City of Redding." • Budget and Financial Management — "Achieve balanced and stable 10-year financial plans for a11 funds." � Communication and Transparency — "Improve the quality of communication with the public and city employees to enhance knowledge and increase transparency to improve public trust".

Fiscal Impact The Fire Department (Fire) submitted grant applications in 2023 and 2024 to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Assistance to Firefighters Grant program to replace its aging and worn-out Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA). Both times the grant was not awarded. Therefore, the attached budget resolution is to appropriate adequate funds for the purchase of SCBA and associated equipment. The total cost is estimated not to exceed $966,278.23. The following funding sources will be used: Funding Source Budget SCBA Balance Estimated Cost Fire Impact Fees $2,500,000 $324,340 $2,175,660 Fire Rolling Stock $1,125,000 $421,010 $703,990 Fire Equipment Replacement Fund $636,000 $220,930 $415,070 Total $4,261,000 $966,280 $3,294,720 P�cket Pg.203 Report to Redding City Council May 13,2026 Re: 4.8(a)--Self Contained Breathing Apparatus Eauipment Page 2 Council Policy 416 — Rolling Stock Replacement Fund and Council Policy 422 — Equipment Replacement Fund allows the City Manager to administratively appropriate the funds from the Rolling Stock and Equipment Replacement Funds. Due to the staff report including a budget resolution for the Fire Impact Fees, staff is including the appropriation of the Rolling Stock and Equipment Replacement funds in the budget resolution for transparency and consistency. Alternative Action The City Council may choose not to approve the recommended action and provide alternative directions. Not approving the recommended action could delay the timeline beyond October 2026 and increase the risk of unit failure, personal injury, and may be subject to Occupational Safety and Health Administration citations. Background/Analysis SCBA is supplied air ensembles worn by �refighters while entering Immediate Danger to Life and Health environments. A SCBA is the firefighter's lifeline required when entering certain environments allowing them to mitigate emergencies such as building fires, vehicle fires including electric vehicles, and other hazardous material related incidents. The Department's current SCBAs were purchased in December 2013. National Fire Protection Association 1981 Standard on Open-Circuit SCBA for Emergency Service identify a 10-year service life for SCBA equipment, after which reliability, parts availability, and safety cannot be assured. The Department's units are now approximately 12 years old. The manufacturer of the Department's current SCBAs is no longer in business and can no longer provide testing, factory support, replacement parts, or service. As a result, the Department has become increasingly reliant on limited aftermarket solutions and workarounds which are neither sustainable nor appropriate for criticallife-safety equipment. SCBA cylinders have a �nite service life governed by hydrostatic testing and regulatory end-of- life requirements. The Department's cylinders will reach their mandatory end of life in October 2026, after which they cannot legally or safely be used. Replacement is unavoidable regardless of the condition of the SCBA packs themselves. After extensive evaluations and user demonstrations, the sole source justification for the 3M Scott SCBA units became evident for several reasons: performance, function, durability, maintenance, and most significant compatibility with the Department's regional partners. Automatic and mutual aid is critical to meeting operational goals and a11 surrounding agencies use the 3M Scott SCBA. As a result, the Redding Rire Department is requesting Council approval to standardize SCBA products and associated equipment using only 3M Scott SCBA products. The purchase of the 3M Scott SCBAs and associated equipment wi11 be from Allstar Fire Equipment (Allstar) through a State of California Statewide Contract. City Municipal Code 4.20.120.L.7 provides for Council to authorize execution of a purchase order contract based on prices established by other government agencies. Utilizing Allstar and the Statewide Contract is estimated to provide $350,000 in savings to the City. An additional reduction in the contract price of the SCBA System was due to a small change by not including a specific rescue belt. Packet Pg. 204 Report to Redding City Council May 13,2026 Re: 4.8(a)--Self Contained Breathing Apparatus Eauipment Page 3 Upon Council approval and issuance of the purchase order, it wi11 take approximately 180 days to receive the equipment, acceptance test, fit test, and train firefighters before putting them in service.
