Description This is for three (3) SCBA Fill Stations with Sub Aquatics, Inc. (Breathing Air Systems) in an amount not to exceed $283,334. SCBAs are the foundational tool that provides the greatest amount of airway protection from toxic gas and harmful particulates resulting from the fire. It’s essential for modern firefighting and today’s complex fire grounds. Savannah Fire currently uses a 16-year-old unit to refill the self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). Due to the aging of the current unit, signs of corrosion are progressing.
As per NFPA 1989 Chapter 24 (Air Systems), all materials used in the air system shall be corrosion-free and resistant. Additionally, having one unit in each Battalion will also increase the efficiency of fire responses to provide quality service for the citizens of Savannah. The proposal were received; however, one proposal was deemed non-responsive due to not bidding per the specifications. Delivery: As requested. Terms: Net 30 days.
