Approve the purchase of the Diesel Exhaust Capture System, “Plymovent” for Fire Station No. 3, for an estimated amount of $49,995.00 from Safe Air Corporation of Sarasota, FL as a sole source vendor.

On July 13, 2018, Boynton Beach Fire Rescue was awarded a FEMA Grant, "Assistance to Firefighters Grant", in the amount of a $81,931 Federal Share with a 10% cost match in the amount of $8,193.

The intent of this grant application was to:

1. Purchase a diesel exhaust capture system for Fire Station No. 3, based upon the age of the fire station; and
2. Purchase of (4) Gear Dryers for the Fire Department.

This purchase will provide Fire Station No. 3, with the means to exhaust contaminated air into the outside environment.   

This purchase is a part of the commitment to the Health and Safety of our firefighters, enhancing our health and wellness programs. 

The utilization of grant funding to purchase the exhaust system will take away the need to put these items into our capital improvement budget.
