Resolution 2020-02 -SCBA Joint Purchase
The City of Kenai in coordination with Nikiski Fire and Central Emergency Services were very
fortunate in successfully obtaining a grant through the Department of Homeland Security for the
replacement of aging essential equipment.
One hundred seventy-one Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBAs) are being replaced in
total. The packs cost $6,400/ea with each agency being responsible for approximately
$581.82/pack to cover the non-federal share. This a tremendous benefit to each department.
With the recent fire season we experienced this past summer, th is equipment is an integral
necessity to allow fire fighters to continue to safely and effectively perform their jobs.
Council 's support is respectively requested.
Thank you for your consideration.
