The City of Miami is a compact 35 square mile urban area with economic, social, and ethnic diversity. Miami is surrounded by the ocean and is vulnerable to many natural disasters and a target for terrorist activities. Currently, it has an estimated 453,579 residents and in the most recent census, completed in 2010, Miami had 183,994 housing units (1). As of 2015, Miami was 3rd in the number of skyscrapers nationally. Today, it is 2nd in skyscrapers along the east coast and has 60 high rise buildings over 40 stories and 13 being constructed. During the last 10 years, over 22,000 new condos have been built in the Downtown Miami area. In this area alone, 6,213 condos, 3,767 apartments, 1,792 hotel units, 1,108,500 square feet of office and 1,491,781 square feet of retail were under construction as of June 2015 (5). It is the largest city within Miami - Dade County and in 2013, it was the eighth -largest metro area in the nation with over 5.8 million residents (2). The population of swells to over 1,000,000 during daytime business hours between residents, tourist, business commuters and visitors. Through its Operations and Administration divisions, MFR is currently staffed with 753 fire professionals stationed at 15 fire stations who respond to a myriad of fire related emergencies and over 100,000 alarms. MFR is one of the busiest fire departments in the nation in responses per firefighter (busier than New York, Los Angeles, and many other major urban departments). MFR faces difficulty equipping its members to respond to the demands resulting from the new wave of urbanization spurred on by the construction boom and population increase. The workforce commuting daily into the City, tourists, as well as the residents living in the urban core continue to strain an already stretched MFR. As the second largest fire department in Miami -Dade County, MFR faces many unique challenges in serving Miami - one of the most diverse and densely populated cities in the U.S. (11,135 persons per square mile). The majority of its residents come from minority backgrounds, with 70% Hispanic/Latino and 19.2% Black. Furthermore, 58% of its population is foreign -born and over 77% speak a language other than English at home, including Spanish and Creole; creating a language barrier between MFR and a large segment of residents. Economically, the City is one of great contrasts and is often referred to as the -Tale of Two Cities-. Though it is one of the nation6s leading centers for trade, banking, and finance, it is considered among the poorest cities of its size in the country. About 29.9% of people live below the poverty level, almost double the 16.3% national level (1). In 2014, Miami had the 2nd -lowest median income in the nation, lower than Detroit or Newark, NJ in 2014(3); today its median income is 53.5% of the US. There are high rates of unemployment and illiteracy. In these impoverished areas, older and substandard housing often result in more dangerous fires. All of these dynamics create great challenges for the MFR.

This statement should include details describing the applicant's financial distress, including summarizing budget constraints, unsuccessful attempts to obtain vehicle and outside funding, and proving the trouble is out of their control This AFG eligible project will enhance the safety of the public and firefighters in fire (7). MFR continues to experience an increased demand for service as reflected in its total call volume. In 2017, MFR received over 100,000 calls for service, an increase of 4.5% since 2015. MFR depends on the General Fund of the City to support its operational needs. The City can only fund the basic emergency services, while the strain on all services is growing. MFR direly needs financial assistance to meet the demands of serving the public. 92% of its budget is allocated for payroll expenses, leaving 8% for maintenance, repairs and professional services expenses which are an integral part of daily functions. 100% of the MFR operating budget depended on taxes in 2017. This is worth noting, considering, Miami is operating in the aftermath of the Great Recession which began with the bursting of an 8 trillion dollar housing bubble that impacted the entire nation (7) and the tax revenue of the City. In this recovery from the economic downturn, the City (4) is allocating funds for many projects previously delayed due to a lack of funding and therefore, does not know when it will be able to fund the requested project. The City is striving to meet the demands of increasing its cash reserves to protect the City from unforeseen emergencies, funding capital improvements to maintain and renew its infrastructure and at the same time providing wage growth and benefits to its employees. During the past three fiscal years, as a result of budget reductions and an improved economy, Miami has restored its financial stability, however, many challenges still remain. Today the new boom is adding more condos, commercial, retail and entertainment properties, at a dizzying pace (3). Miami is 12th among cities for population growth in 2015. In the last 10 years, over 22,000 new condos have been built Downtown; population has increased by 33% (22,000 people) since 2010. (8). In 2015, there were also 11 new hotels being planned or under -construction in the central business district of Miami nearly doubling the number of hotel rooms to over 6,600. These projects will dramatically increase visitors and tourists. The workforce commuting daily into the City, tourists and residents living in the urban core will continue to strain an already stretched MFR. This creates added stress on municipal monies for essential services and infrastructure issues, eliminating the ability of the City to allocate any funds to the requested project. Increased costs for supplies and equipment further decrease the availability of funds and with an increased population, poverty levels, and demand on resources, relief is not soon to come. In its 2017-2018 budget request, MFR did not receive funding to pay for the requested project and to meet its daily operational needs. Grants are regularly searched out and applied to, but funding has not been acquired for this project. MFR is in a difficult position, lacking funding to address its immediate needs to improve the safety of citizens and firefighters and can only meet these critical needs with AFG funds.

Further, please describe what you are requesting funding for, including budget descriptions of the major budget items, i.e., personnel, equipment, contracts, etc. *4000 characters i• 4:11W In 2017, MFR responded to over 100,000 alarms in a 35 square miles area; resulting in one of the top 10 call volumes per firefighter in the U.S. We protect almost 1 million people in this city, daily and 60 high rise buildings over 40 stories and 13 under construction. The extensive call volume of MFR and its many high rises (HR) makes it imperative that MFR has hoses with the water pressure needed to reach these structures, when seconds count. Today, Miami is 2nd in skyscrapers along the east coast and in 2015, was 3rd in the number of skyscrapers, nationally. Miami is being inundated with higher, larger, and more elaborate HR. Current hoses cannot be used at the pressure needed to produce a water stream that can sufficiently attack high rise fires. This may cause catastrophic loss of life and property. The high pressure can cause the hose to burst and limit water supply, injure firefighters, endanger people and structures. Therefore, MFR seeks funding to purchase high pressure hoses (HPH) for use on high rise fires. Use of these hoses slows down firefighting. It is after crews reach the fire floor and connect the hose to the standpipe that they know the water pressure is inadequate. Firefighting efforts are diminished and sometimes eliminated leaving building occupants and firefighters in danger of loss of life or injury. Having loss valuable time, members employ tandem pumping which requires more manpower and equipment. MFR had instances when the hose was unsuccessfully used, tandem pumping was required and the hose was on the verge of bursting and eliminating capabilities. Miami is extremely prone to hurricanes, such as Hurricane Irma in 2017, and severe weather that causes power outages which disable HR fire suppression systems. Then, a high pressure hose (HPH) is the only way to supply water to them. Members need to have high pressure hoses that provide an adequate water supply to produce a firefighting stream able to deliver enough water pressure and velocity to suppress a fire quickly and achieve a fast knockdown. MFR must be able to ensure the safety and survival of both members and residents and reduce property loss. IMPLEMENTATION Upon notice of award MFR will immediately begin the procurement process for the HPH and expects no delays. Once received, they will be placed into service department wide and used in every HR fire. They will immediately impact the effectiveness and efficiency of our emergency response capabilities and our ability to safely respond to calls during fire incidents. The minimal training required will be provided by MFR instructors. REQUEST A comprehensive RISK ANALYSIS revealed that MFR does not have the capability to protect high rises and needs 200 units of 50 feet sections of high pressure hose to mitigate this danger. AFG funding will allow MFR to purchase NFPA 1961 compliant HPH. Budget constraints prevent MFR from purchasing these essential high pressure hoses. The cost share of this project is provided by MFR using general revenue funds from the City. MFR obtained cost estimates from vendors and conducted extensive market research to determine the type of high pressure hoses that will meet its needs. The final selection will be completed when procured. MFR seeks $179,000 to purchase 200 units of high pressure hoses at $895 each to ensure the completion of the goals of the project: protecting lives and increasing the safety of firefighters and the community and reducing property loss. * Section # 2 Cost/Benefit: In the space provided below please explain, as clearly as possible, what will be the benefits your department or your community will realize if the project described is funded (i.e. anticipated savings and/or efficiencies)? Is there a high benefit for the cost incurred? Are the costs reasonable? Provide justification for the budget items relating to the cost of the requested items. *4000 characters MFR BENEFITS MFR needs high pressure hoses to eliminate the unnecessary loss of time experienced when members arrive to a high rise fire only to find out their equipment is not able to extinguish the fire. The HPH will solve this problem by providing adequate firefighting capabilities that save time, and increase the safety of members and the community and reduce costs to the community. High pressure hoses will enable MFR to conduct firefighting promptly, and effectively and mitigate the danger members experience protecting high rises. New HPH would meet the critical need of improving the effectiveness and safety of MFR firefighters when a lack of effective hoses makes it difficult and dangerous to extinguish fires. The improved firefighting capabilities of members will allow them to better, more quickly and adequately attack fires to ensure the safety and survival of both members and residents. The high pressure hoses will reach high rise structures with an adequate firefighting stream that produces enough water and this will speed up firefighting, improve fire suppression and knockdown times. These HPH will reduce potential injury and catastrophic loss of life of members, the community and property loss. With AFG assistance, MFR will increase the efficiency of its fire operations. High pressure hoses will eliminate tandem pumping in MFR and reduce the related fuel and .maintenance costs. MFR members will feel confident and safe as they operate in hazardous fires, not worrying that their hose will fail and reduce their ability to provide life-saving assistance and ensure their safety. COMMUNITY BENEFITS AFG funds will vastly improve the safety and protection of the residents and property of the City and many jurisdictions to which MFR provides mutual and automatic aid. The high pressure hoses will increase community safety, increase interagency operability, improve efficiency, and improve the level of service to citizens and visitors. The ability of MFR to save lives will be tremendously improved. High pressure hoses will ensure effective and expedient operations at fire incidents resulting in faster mitigation. This will result in a reduction in property damage and financial losses, which totaled $1,825,000 in 2016. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ITEMS Without funding of this project, MFR members will lack high pressure hoses with a firefighting stream that is able to produce enough water to suppress high rise fires quickly and able to achieve knockdowns quickly. There will be an increased risk to the safety of firefighters and the community, compromised maximum response efficacy, and increased costs associated with tandem pumping. MFR is experiencing a significant increase in high rise structures without any HPH to address fire emergencies in these buildings, requiring this project to secure the safety of members. The many benefits of the HPH far outweigh the costs; especially, reducing the probability of lives lost - an immeasurable benefit. THE HPH costs are reasonable. MFR obtained quotes and for the funding requested, good quality, compliant and durable equipment that will allow MFR members to save and protect lives and property will be purchased. * Section # 3 Statement of Effect: How would this award impact the daily operations of your department? How would this award impact your department's ability to protect lives and property in your community? *4000 characters MFR strives to provide effective and efficient services to its residents while keeping its members from harm. MFR has identified a need to acquire high pressure hoses; however, a lack of funding has precluded MFR from completing this crucially important purchase. AFG funding is critical to bringing this project and the many benefits that will be realized to fruition. The most valuable asset of MFR is our personnel who are sometimes in jeopardy. The purchase of the high pressure hoses will increase the safety of members by improving their ability to expeditiously and efficiently fight high rise fires. HPH will increase operational efficiency since they improve the ability of MFR to mitigate fires by producing a fire stream that enables members to quickly and efficiently achieve a knockdown and extinguish fires. HPH will eliminate time and money loss to tandem pumping. Panorama Tower is a typical newer building and the tallest in Florida at 82 stories. During an inspection, after connecting to the standpipe, MFR discovered that tandem pumping was needed. If this had occurred during a fire, the community and members would have been in danger. A high pressure hose could have eliminated the loss of time and potential danger. The high pressure hoses will decrease the likelihood of members and the community suffering injuries or dying due to high rise fires. As a result, MFR will better achieve its goals of protecting lives and increasing the safety of firefighters and the community while reducing property loss. New HPH will provide the following improved operation outcomes: Increased efficiency and reduction of time to perform knockdown Improved allocation of resources at incidents Improved response capabilities and member safety and protection of the community Increased interagency operability, efficiency and service to citizens With acquisition of the high pressure hoses, we will significantly improve NFPA 1961 compliance. Daily, these hoses will increase the effectiveness of MFR in saving lives and protecting property. HPH will be able to suppress a fire without delays experienced with the regular hoses. Only after arrival on scene and connection of the hose to the standpipe can members find out that water pressure is inadequate. Firefighting efforts are diminished and sometimes completely eliminated leaving building occupants and firefighters in danger of loss of life or injury. Having loss valuable time, tandem pumping is then employed. In addition, HPH benefit other public safety entities on mutual -aid and automatic aid calls, since MFR will use this equipment to assist them during multi -jurisdictional events. MFR is the 12th highest risk area based on the Metropolitan Statistical Analysis with an array of critical infrastructure that is integral to both the City of Miami and the United States. Infrastructure, such as the National Access Point, Brickell Financial District, Wilkie D. Ferguson Jr. United States Federal Courthouse, and several other heavily populated structures pose a high casualty risk, as well as the possibility of crippling not only the economy of Miami, but of the nation. With the new HPH, MFR will be better equipped and capable of ensuring the continued protection of these paramount infrastructures and the public, as well as all other structures in Miami and nearby jurisdictions with the added benefit of increased safety to firefighters. Should this project not be funded, MFR will continue to have a deficiency in high rise fire suppression, firefighter safety, and protection of the community. MFR will not have high pressure hoses and lack critical capabilities. Thus, it is imperative that MFR obtain high pressure hoses to employ on the over 100,000 calls responded to annually to ensure the safety and well-being of the communities we serve and the members who serve them.
