The total cost of a replacement unit is estimated to be $40,000. The grant provides funding for 90% of the cost or $36,000 and requires a local match of 10% or $4,000. The current system, which is used to refill the air in the department's breathing apparatus, was installed in 1997. Some maintenance issues have become a concern and it has become increasing difficult to find replacement parts. This equipment is housed at Central Fire and is comprised of a compressor and 12 compressed air storage cylinders. The attached resolve will appropriate $40,000 to replace this equipment. The local share of the funding will be transferred from the City's Fire Equipment Reserve, which has adequate funding available. Department Head Manager's Comments: This item was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Finance Committee on March 15, 2010. &� Interim City Manager Associated Information: Budget Approval: Legal Approval: Introduced for Passage X First Reading Referral Page _ of _ Finance Director City Solicitor 10 IC9 Assigned to Councilor— Wheeler Murch 22, 2010 CI'T'Y OF BANGOR (TITLE.)
