SUBJECT: Purchase of Self Contained Breathing Apparatus Air Compressor,
and 92 sections of 3 inch Fire Hose.
In June of 2015 we were successful in receiving a grant for the purchase of a SCBA
Compressor and 92 sections of 3 inch fire hose through FEMA's Assistance to
Firefighters Grant.
We have researched different compressors that we could retrofit into our current
compressors location at Station 1. We looked at Eagle, Scott, Mako and Bauer for
replacement and are recommending the purchase of a Bauer Unicus III /19 -E3 (GSA
Contract #GS -07F -9711 G) for $55,032.05. This is within our budget and meets the
requirements and needs of our department, as well as the AFG grant.

Bauer makes all their own blocks and parts in one factory and has been a trusted name
in the fire service for many years. We are anticipating the possible growth of our
department and feel this compressor will fill the needs of our department for many years
to come.
Secondly, we are also recommending the purchase of 92 sections of 3 inch Durabuilt
fire hose from L.N. Curtis & Sons for the amount of $18,930.00. (GSA Contract #GS-
07F- 0043L). Replacing our aging stock of 3 inch hose is one of our top priorities for the
safety of our crews and service of our community. We will become compliant with NFPA
1962 by replacing hose manufactured prior to 1987 and meet the overall goal of NFPA
1961's Standard on Fire Hose.
Both items will be purchased through General Services Administration (GSA) contract
pricing and per KMC 7.15.050(f) allows the City of Kenai to purchase equipment without
giving an opportunity for competitive bidding if the equipment is purchasable under the
contract of another governmental agency in which contract the City is authorized to
participate.
