Home My WebLink About16 - Acceptance of an Assistance to Firefighters Grant from the Federal Emergency Management AgencyCITY OF NEWPORT BEACH City Council Staff Report TO: FROM: PREPARED BY: PHONE: TITLE: ABSTRACT: September 24, 2019 Agenda Item No. 16 HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL Jeff Boyles, Fire Chief - 949-644-3101, jboyles@nbfd.net Mary Locey, Administrative Manager 949-644-3352 Acceptance of an Assistance to Firefighters Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency In 2018, Fire Department staff submitted an application for a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Assistance to Firefighters Grant to offset the significant cost of upgrading the department's self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). On September 6, 2019, staff was notified by FEMA of its intent to award Newport Beach a $525,134.54 grant. Acceptance of the grant requires a 10% share ($52,513) from the City and it needs to be accepted within 30 days from notification of award (by October 6). RECOMMENDATIONS: a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly; b) Approve the grant and accept the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Assistance to Firefighters Grant award in the amount of $525,135; and c) Approve Budget Amendment No. 20-016 to increase revenue estimates by $525,135 in account 75604-431390 (Fire Equipment — FEMA), and increase expenditure appropriations by $577,648 in account 76504-911013 (Fire Equipment — Assist Firefighter Grant SCBA Equipment). FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: The proposed Budget Amendment increases revenue estimates by $525,135 from FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant and appropriates $525,135, in increased expenditures for the acquisition of Fire SCBA equipment. The required grant matching appropriations of $52,513 will be satisfied from existing appropriations within the Fire Equipment Fund. 16-1 Acceptance of an Assistance to Firefighters Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency September 24, 2019 Page 2 DISCUSSION: The City of Newport Beach (City) Fire Department submitted an Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) application to the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) on October 25, 2018. The grant application was intended to supplement the purchase of new, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) for the department's first responders. On September 6, 2019, the Fire Department was notified of FEMA's intent to award a $525,134.54 grant to aid in the equipment purchase. The City's acceptance of the grant includes a 10% cost share, approximately $52,513. For the 2018 grants, FEMA approved 524 nationwide, of which 23 are for California agencies. Newport Beach is the only Orange County agency identified for grant award and earmarked to receive the fourth largest amount in the state. The majority of the department's SCBA equipment was purchased in 2007 and are due for replacement. SCBA units are an essential piece of equipment, which ensures the safety and survivability of rescue personnel as they perform the critical task of searching for victims. It is also a key component when responding to fire, hazardous material, chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or explosive events. The current 12 -year old SCBA units are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain replacement parts when repairs are needed. These units are compliant with the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1981 standards (year 2002 edition). However, since the 2002 edition, the NFPA standards have been updated three times and there have been three -key equipment improvements: 1) testing of the face pieces at a higher level of integrity; 2) enhanced communication technology using Bluetooth or wireless communication; and 3) improved end -of -service life indicator. The new SCBA units include a smaller and lighter air bottle; a breathing regulator which will provide the latest in particulate protection; improved comfort of the backpack assembly; increased durability of the face piece; enhanced communication system using Bluetooth or wireless technology; quick connect valves; and an enhanced service life indicator. The new SCBA units will improve the survivability, safety, reliability, and effectiveness of the firefighters during emergency operations and rescues. The acquisition of new SCBA units will have a direct benefit while responding to incidents in Newport Beach. Further, through the City's automatic aid response agreements, the benefit of the new equipment will extend beyond the borders of Newport Beach when responding to surrounding cities and communities, including Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Laguna Beach, and when called to support the Orange County Fire Authority and the Statewide Master Mutual Aid System. 16-2 Acceptance of an Assistance to Firefighters Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency September 24, 2019 Page 3 Preliminary research for purchasing a new SCBA unit is approximately $9,000 per unit. The total number of units needed is still being determined as the apparatus is connected to vehicles and teams, not personnel. The additional number of units for repair rotation is also being determined. It is estimated that between 78 and 90 units will need to be purchased. The department was notified on September 6 of the grant award and it needs to be accepted within 30 days, no later than Sunday, October 6. Accepting the FEMA grant will significantly offset the nearly $850,000 needed to update the department's SCBA equipment. In fiscal year 2015, the Fire Equipment Fund was created to start saving for large future purchases such as SCBA, cardiac monitors, ballistic vests, and lifeguard water craft. Approximately $240,000 has been set aside to date for SCBA equipment replacement. The remaining $85,000 will be expensed to the Fire Operations and EMS Divisions' Capital Equipment accounts. Should the City Council approve the grant for acceptance, the department will coordinate a request for proposals with the Purchasing Division to select a vendor for the new SCBA units. The purchase agreement and final budget requirements will be presented for City Council consideration at a future meeting. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. NOTICING: The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

You must report any deviations from your DHS/FEMA approved budget in the first Federal Financial Report (SF -425) you submit following any budget deviation, regardless of whether the budget deviation requires prior written approval. Article 41 Disposition of Equipment Acquired Under the Federal Award When original or replacement equipment acquired under this award by the recipient or its subrecipients is no longer needed for the original project or program or for other activities currently or previously supported by DHS/FEMA, you must request instructions from DHS/FEMA to make proper disposition of the equipment pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.313. Article 42 Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation DHS/FEMA funded activities that may require an EHP review are subject to FEMA's Environmental Planning and Historic Preservation (EHP) review process. This review does not address all Federal, state, and local requirements. Acceptance of Federal funding requires recipient to comply with all Federal, state and local laws. Failure to obtain all appropriate federal, state and local environmental permits and clearances may jeopardize Federal funding.DHS/FEMA is required to consider the potential impacts to natural and cultural resources of all projects funded by DHS/FEMA grant funds, through its EHP Review process, as mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act; National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended; National Flood Insurance Program regulations; and, any other applicable laws and Executive Orders. To access the FEMA's Environmental and Historic Preservation (EHP) screening form and instructions go to the DHS/FEMA website at: https://www.fema.gov/media- library/assets/documents/90195. In order to initiate EHP review of your project(s), you must complete all relevant sections of this form and submit it to the Grant Programs Directorate (GPD) along with all other pertinent project information. Failure to provide requisite information could result in delays in the release of grant funds.lf ground disturbing activities occur during construction, applicant will monitor ground disturbance, and if any potential archeological resources are discovered, applicant will immediately cease work in that area and notify the pass- through entity, if applicable, and DHS/FEMA. 16-19 Obligating document 1.Agreement No. 2.
