On November 25, 2008, City Council accepted $208,946 in Urban Areas Security
Initiative (UASI) Grant funds to purchase equipment to establish a medium Urban
Search and Rescue (USAR) capability in Newport Beach and the region. The
equipment inventory requires six self- contained breathing apparatus, extra bottles,
mobile air cart, masks, air hose and miscellaneous support parts.
City of Newport Beach Purchasing requested bids from three vendors. The vendors
were OPR Safety, Fischer Safety and Allstar Fire Equipment, Inc.
OPR Safety was non - responsive on the request. Fischer Safety was considered non-
responsive when their bid was returned missing multiple items that were requested.
Fischer Safety Equipment's bid was $2000 lower than Allstar's. If Fischer Safety would
have included the missing items, their bid would been higher than Allstar's bid.
Funding Availability:
Funds will come from existing UASI Grant funds. Account # 7014- C8002013.
