Subject: Maintenance & Repair Services of Self—Contained Breathing Apparatus — Sole Source
]Purchase
Background Information:
The Department of Fire -Rescue uses the Self -Contained Breathing Apparatus ("SCBA") equipment
that requires regularly scheduled maintenance and repair services. Draeger Safety, Inc., is the sole
repair facility for Draeger equipment in the United States using trained technicians and access to
Draeger original factory parts, enabling major repairs. Prevention maintenance programs are also
available to extend life of the equipment and ensure lower risks of field failures. Moreover, the
maintenance of Draeger equipment is critical as it is "vitas" equipment used by the Fire -Rescue
Department to deliver clean breathing air to our firefighters and provides safety from various chemical
agents that they may encounter on emergency incidents, including terrorists' events. This equipment
must be maintained at all times and in proper working condition. In the course of ,daily use,
mechanical failures are encountered; therefore, the continuance of a maintenance and assurance
program is essential.
