The main requirement of this OMB Circular is that grantees that expend $500,000.00 or more in Federaf funds (from aif Federal sources) must have a single audit performed in accordance with the circular. As a condition of receiving funding under this grant program, you must agree to maintain grant files and supporting documentation for three years upon the official closeout of your grant. You must also agree to make your grant files, books, and records avaifa6le for an audit by DHS, the Gene�al Accounting Office (GAO), or their duly authorized representatives to assess the accomplishments of the grant program or to ensure compliance with any requirement of the grant program. Article X1I1- Additionai Requirements (if applicable) Vehicle Awardees: Vehicfe awardees for FY 2007 will be required to inciude an advance payment bond as part of the contract with their vehicle manufacturer. An advance payment bond is like an insurance policy that protects you in the event that the manufacturer with whom you contracted to build your vehicle cannot fulfill the contract, i.e., cannot finish building your vehicle for any reason. An advance payment bond is a financial tool used to guarantee that , in the event of manufacturer/contractor default, funds will be available to finish the construction of your vehicle and ensure its proper operation. From the vehicle grantee's point of view, the insolvency of a co�tractor during the construction of a vehicle will most likely result in delayed completion of the vehicle, additional expenses for a different manufacturer/contractor to finish the work, or even loss of grant funds. For this reason, we now require manufacturerslcontractors to provide a bond from an independent bank, insurance company or bonding agency so that the vehicle grantees can recover damages they may sustain if the manufacturerfcontractors default during the construction of a vehicle. The amount of the bond should be equal to, or greater than, the sum of any payments, compensat+on and/or consideration provided prior to the defivery of the vehicle. If no down payment is required in the purchase contract, an advance payment bond is not required. Regardless of whether a performance bond is obtained, each vehicle purchase contract must include a performance clause. The performance clause stipulates a certain date when the vehicle will be delivered by the vendor. If the vendor does not deliver the vehicle by the date stipulated in the performance clause, penalties are administered to the vendor. These penalties should be of a severity sufficient to provide the vendor with incentive to deliver the vehicle at the earliest possible date but no less than $100 per day. Regional Hosts: Grantees that are the hosts of regional projects as provided for in the annual program guidance will not 6e responsi6(e for equipment purchased with grant funds if that equipme�t is disbursed to other first-responder organizations under a memorandum of understanding which places the responsibility for the equipment in the hands of the recipient. Modification to Facilities Requirements: DHS is required to ascertain how proposed modifications to a�y facilities that will have sprinkler installation may be impacted by requirements related to the National Historic Preservation Act and the National Flood Insurance Program regulations. Modification projects must be evaluated for compliance with applicable statutory and regulatory environmentallhistoric preservation requirements and must be approved by DHS prior to project implementation. No funds may be requested for construction untif all these requirements are fulfilled. If the instaflation site is a building that is 50 years old or older ihey shall not proceed with proposed mod�cation projects, other than planning, until being not�ed by DHS that alf reviews have been completed. Noncompliance may jeopardize receipt of federal funding. This grant award was reduced by $84,000. The approved number for the pants is 246 not the 300, the approved number for the coats is 246 not 300 and the approved amount for WasherlE�ractor is $9,000 not the $10,000 as requested in the initial application. The reduction has afready been made in the grant award and in the appfication as approved by Mr. Ken Gilliam, via email on July 29, 2008. The total project cost was reduced from $1,041,070 to $957,070. The federal share was reduced from $832,856 to $765,656. The applicant share was reduced from $208,214 to $191,414. httpsJ/portal.fema.govifiregrandj spifire_admin/awards/speclview_award�ackage.do?agreementNo=EM... 9/10I2008 Panel Review ta. AGREEMENT NO.

The Saint Paul Department of Fire and Safety Services proudfy provides fire, rescue, and emergency medical service to an area covering 57 square miles with a population count of 287,151. Our response area is home to critical infrastructure including our state capital building and associated government facilities, 61 miles of main line railway, 24 miles of river waterway, 18 miles of interstate 4reeway, a downtown airport, hospitals, arenas, large public gathering focations, several large utility groups, and commercial facilities that support the surrounding 11-county metro area. In 2008 we will be the host city for the Republican National Convention and are actively preparing for that event. Our department has a total of 410 sworn positions and 61 support positions involved with emergency response, fire prevention, administration, and support services. The operations division is split into three shifts. Each 24-hour operational shift is comprised of one deputy chief, three district chiefs. 16 engine comQanies, seven ladder companies, and three rescue squads. Eleven of the engine companies also dual staff advanced life support ambulances. We also cross staff specialty units including the state's only Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Entry team, a state Chemical Assessment team, an Advanced Technical Rescue team, four rescue boats, and an engine responsible for airport rescue and firefighting. We have 50 mem6ers on the state's SUSAR collapse rescue team, Minnesota Task Force One. Our fire prevention division performs 19,000 inspections each year. Our public education group reaches over 80,000 citizens through programs and station tours involving seniors, communities, and schools. In 2006, the department responded to a total of 40,225 incidents. We have an average response time of 3.1 minutes. We provide mutual aid to multiple departments in several mutual aid networks including the Minneapolis Fire Department and the Metropolitan Airport Fire Department. As we are the state's only Hazmat Emergency Response Entry team and a core component of Minnesota Task Force One, our response area expands to include the entire state of Minnesota. This grant would not only benefit our department, but also any fire department in the state requiring our assistance. The following paragraphs outline our 2007 AFG Project Description. Following that, we describe our financial need, cosVbenefit analysis, and conclude with our statement of effect as required by the program guidance. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Total Request: $1,041,070 Activity: Exirication Equipment - $265,000 We respond to approximately 1500 vehicle accidents annuafly. These accidents often demand that exQeditious vehicle extrication be a priority step in ensuring that our patients are rescued and transported to a trauma hospital in a timely manner. Additionally, we rely on extrication equipment fior heavy rescue calls, forcible entry, rapid intervention rescue, structural collapse and a host of other scenarios. The current state of our extrication equipment is unacceptable to say the least. Many units are in need of repair or replacement, antiquated and unreliable at best. As we have piece-mealed units together over the budget cutting years, we have created an equipment cache that is hard to consistently train on due to lack of standardization. This grant, if awarded, will replace basic extrication equipment on all seven of our departmenYs ladder companies and afl three rescue squads involved in heavy rescue, hazmat, extrication, and advanced technical rescue operations. This basic equipment will include a hydraulic power unit, cutter, spreader, necessary hoses and accessories for each ladder company. The rescue squads will receive the same equipment and have the addition of a portable electric power unit, three rams and ram attachments, stabilization struts, and necessary hoses and attachments. We have budgeted $22,000 for each of seven ladder companies and $35,�0� for each of three rescue squads. With this grant we will be able to standardize our equipment cache which will allow us to become safer and more effective. This equipment will help us meet compliance requirements with https://portal.fema.gov/firegranUjsp/fire2007/application/print_app.jsp?print=true&app_number=EMW-2... 9/10/2008 ApplicationNumber: EMW-2007-FO-10457 Page 22 of30 c�—// ID MN OSHA Fire Brigade Standards as well as Minnesota State Statute 182.653 regarding workplace safety. Additional funds are requested for proper training on this equipment and will be detailed in a later section of this narrative. Activity: Structural Firefighting Tum Out Gear -$450,000 The largest component of this grant request is structural firefighting tum out gear. Again, due to budget constraints, we have falfen behind in replacing this a6solutely necessary equipment. A recent inventory of all tumout gear concluded that 70% of our front line turnout gear is no longer NFPA compliant and manufactured prior to 1997. Some turn out gear in use was manufactured pnor to 1990. We are requesting 300 sets of NFPA approved structural firefighting coffis and pants. This will alfow us to replace all of the equipment in question and adequately protect 100% of our firefighting personnel. This will further allow us the opportunity to immediately create a replacement cycle that will keep us current with industry-accepted time limits for the turnout gear so that we do not fi�d ourselves in the same position in the future. This activity wilf bring us into compliance with Minnesota OSHA Fire Brigade Standards as well as compliance with NFPA 1971 turn out gear requirements. Activity: Washer/Extractors - $30,000 With the addition of the turnout gear, we acknowledge the need to maintain the investment and provide for the health and wellness of the firefighters wearing it. We are requesting three commercial grade washer/extractor machines, budgeted at $10,000 each, to allow personnel the opportunity to clean their gear on a regular basis and as necessary due to contamination from emergency incidents. We have previously relied on a cleaning contract that has been unreliable, frustrating to personnel, and which has actually damaged some of the turnout gear to the point that it had to be discarded. These machines will be located in each of our 3 response districts and would al{ow us to get gear back in service in a timely manner. Additiona{ly, we will be able to use these washer/extractors to clean rope rescue equipment and EMS supplies more e�ciently than is currently possible. Activity: Waterllce Rescue Equipment - $42,200 This activity is itemized by four budget items in the Equipment category and two budget items in the PPE category. The budget items include: $21,000 for 21 cold water immersion suits; $2,100 for water rescue helmets; $3,000 for USCG approved personal floatation vests with swift-water safety features; $5,600 for high-visibilitylcold-weather jackets with built-in USCG approved floatation for command staff and boat operators; $7,200 for primary rescuer and backup rescuer water rope rescue lines/rope bags and related rigging and safety equipment; and $3,300 for 30 throw rope bagslsystems for all first response fire vehicles in the city. While we have made giant strides recentiy l� multiple disciplines of technical rescue, our water rescue equipment replacement and training has been relatively stagnant for the past ten years. Our response area includes 24 miles of national waterway, muitipie lakes, and a variety of other water hazards. Our current equipment cache is sub-standard and needs to be replaced and/or significantly upgraded. This grant will allow us to completely overhaul our water/ice rescue capabilities. Our long range plans consist of ou�tting our three primary boat companies and three rescue squads with all of the necessary equipment to perform safe and effective water/surface ice rescue operations. This strategically places this equipment throughout our response area and allows us to pre-plan an effective response to all of our high-hazard water rescue areas. This new equipment will adequately prepare us to respond to any water/ice refated emergency. Additional funds are requested for standardized training and will be outlined later in this project narrative. Activity: Hydraulic Stretchers - $95,000 Medical cafls make up 83% of our annual call load. The average stretcher on any of our ambulances is used for patient transports over 2500 times per year. The majority of the stretchers on our ambulances are more than seven years old and need to be replaced. We have seen an increase in incidents of stretchers collapsing over the past two years due to the increasing weight of our typical patient and due to the age of the stretchers. In 2007, thus far we have had three incidents where a collapsing stretcher has significantly injured a firefighter. The previous year we injured two firefighters in the same type of accidents. Last year we also had 29 firefighter injuries related to patient transfers to the stretchers... twelve of those cases involved patients weighing 350 pounds or more. Beyond the risk to firefighters is the obvious potential for injury to the patients that we are trying to protect. We have identified a solution to this problem. Hydraulic stretchers that are designed to accommodate today's heavier patients (up to 700 Ibs.) are now commercially available. The automatic lift a�d Iower functions of these stretchers dramatically reduce the potential for a lifting injury. We have acquired four of these stretchers as we have specified them on new ambulance purchases. The companies using these stretchers have stressed their importance and injuries related to lifting and moving stretchers have been non-exislent since their addition. We are requesting ten of these hydraulic stretchers with a budget of $9,500 each. This would allow us to immediately replace the stretchers on all of our ambulances. This activity will bring us into compliance with MN State Statute 144E.103 regarding properly operating stretchers and MN SS152.653 requiring employers to provide conditions and a workplace free from recognized hazards that are causing, or likely to cause, deathlserious injury to employees. This item has great potential to reduce firefighter and civilian injuries. https:!(portal.fema.govlfiregrantrjsplfire2007/applicarion/print_app.jsp?print=true&app number=EMW-2... 9l10/2008 Application Number: EMW-2007-FO-10457 Page 23 of 30 �J�--11/0 Activity: Pufse-Oximeters with CO Sensors -$77,870 We are requesting 26 of these monitors ($2,995 each) to be placed on each of our apparatus. The monitors will allow us to non- invasively measure blood oaygen and carbon monoxide levels of firefighting personnel and patients. These monitors will be used for patient evaluation at carbon monoxide and suspicious odor calis. They will further be available to use for rehabilitation evaluation of firefighters at emergency incidents. This activity will significantly enhance our departmenYs capabilities for carbon monoxide responses and at all fire inc+dents. The equipment will again help us gain compliance with M+nnesota QSHA Fire Brigade Standards, specifically the General Duty clause. Aciivity: Vehicle Extrication Training - $60,000 With the addition of the extrication equipment afforded by this grant, it allows us the opportunity to offer standardized and current extrication training to all members of the department. The monies requested will allow us to contract through a state technical college system to provide training for all personnel while on duty. No additional personnel costs are requested as this training will be scheduled within the departmenYs normal training schedule. The training will allow 100°/o of operations personnel to train on the new equipment. The curriculum will be presented by certified instructors and will convey modern extrication equipment tactics. Activity: Water/SurFace Ice Rescue Training -$18,000 This activity is to support the grant funded equipment purchased for water/ice rescue operations. Multiple sessions of this 8-hour technician-level training will be contracted through a state technical college using certified instructors. All members of the six primary water rescue companies outlined above and command staff will attend this training. !t will allow us to standardize our technician level operations to meet nationally accepted standards. F{NANCIAL NEED The department has a total operating budget of $43,077,1 S7. Our personnel costs make up 90% of the budget. The city is fortunate to be able to fully staff full-time fire, rescue, and emergency medical services, but due to the associated operating costs and the number of services that our department provides, our available funding for additional programs, training, and equipment is limited. To compound our financial situation, the State of Minnesota has had consecutive budget shortfalls for the past five years and they have made large cuts (34 % in 2004 alone) to local government aid programs. The city absorbed massive cuts in state aid from 2003 to 2006. As in most cities, the public is resistant to tax increases while at the same time expecting a wider array of services. Our fire department has continued to remain positivefy focused on our long-term goals even in the face of ineasurable set backs. As with many departments around the nation, we find ourselves being asked to do more with less and many times this ultimately compromises firefighter safety. Our department has made it a goal to increase funding in the areas of training and equipment through outside sources, but the current economy has not been helpful. We have formed a committee of department personnel to work on alternative funding sources. This grant committee is dedicated to succeed at efforts like the Assistance to Firefighters Grant, as relying on traditional means is no longer a practical option. On a positive note, the city's new mayor and council agreed last year to perform a comprehensive external audit of the fire department. The audit has been completed at considerable cost and it has identified many areas of needed improvement that internal and extemal audit committees are now trying to prioritize and budget for. One of the most important audit recommendations with relevance to this grant request stressed the importance of funding a replacement program for equipment. It appears that this will come to pass, but we are so far behind on some necessary items that the budget numbers are staggering. Key equipment and training issues can be resolved if we are awarded this grant and it will allow us to realistically budget to keep these activities up and running in the future. COST / BENEP{T The investment in this project will adequately equip our firefighters to respond to the vast majority of the events to which we respond. The initial investment will pay off in long term results by safely protecting the rescuers while they effectively respond to the variety of rescue issues we are summoned to again and again. It will further protect the department, city, and taxpayers from long term costs associated with doing ourjob with sub-standard equipment and training. The turn out gear is a necessity for most of our response categories involving fire, rescue, hazardous materials, and vehicle extrication respons(bilities. The washer(extractors will allow us to properly maintain this investment and at the same time protect our members from exposure to multiple health hazards. The amount of turn out gear afforded by this grant will allow us to adequately plan a replacement program to spread out the replacement costs of this necessary equipment over a manageable period of time. https://portal.fema.gov/firegranUj sp/fire2007/appiication/print_app.j sp?print=true&app_numbe�EMW-2... 9/ 10/2008 Application Number: EMW-20Q7-FO-10457 Page 24 of 3Q The water/ice rescue rotective e ui ment, associated ear, and trainin wilf ade uatel rotect and e �i us fo�lar e`and P 9 P 9 9 Q YP 9 P 9 unpredictable hazard that we are frequently responding to. The hydraulic extrication equipment and training will properly prepare us for this ever-evolving technical rescue discipline and have the added benefit of possible uses on a variety of incidents incfuding vehicle e�rication, forcible entry, rapid intervention rescue, and structural collapse. The hydraulic stretchers will equip us to eliminate a frequentfy occurring accideni rate and provide safier service to our customer base. This equipment will significantly reduce short and long term medical claims and eliminate a huge liability to the city and its taxpayers. The pulse-CO-oximeters will better enable us to evaluate patients at hazardous atmosphere calls and additionally aflow us to monitor the affects of combustion and hazardous materials of firefighters entering the rehab division at emergency incidenfs. STATEMENT OF EFFECT The activities requested by this grant are the outcome of departmental research on how to make our jobs safer while providing a better level of service to our community. Our fire department prides itself on being safe while aggressive in our attacks of the incidents that we are dispatched to. In an attempt to provide the best service possible while at the same time promoting firefighter safety, we believe that we have identified several solutions to the problems tfiat we face on a daily basis. The award of this grant will allow us to overcome the financial restraints that are prohibiting us from doing our job in the safest way possible. The fact of the matter is that if this grant is not awarded, we will still respond when called to do the best job we can with the tools we have available. Firefighters and civilians will unfortunately, but undoubtedly get hurt if we can not significantly address the inadequacies described in this grant request. All of the items that we have requested will greatly enhance our ability to protect our community and our neighboring communities that we respond to. At the same time, alI of the items requested will enable us to perform our job better, with pride, and with a higher level of safety and confidence. Our current city management fully supports the fire department, but due to events affecting budgets there are only so many available funds to distribute between many of the city's essential services. Even in the face of setbacks, we have made positive progress in the past few years and we will continue to move forward towards our goals. We realize that you will undoubtedly see thousands of equally qualified requests from departments of all sizes. We know that not all of the departments will be fortunate enough to be awarded a grant this year. We can assure you that the members of the Saint Paui Department of Fire and Safety Services have a commitment, second to none, to protect the community that we serve. This grant would allow our fire department a definitive edge as we prepare to deal with the incidents that we are familiar with as well as the new incidents that all of our departments across the nation are preparing for in the decades to come. We appreciate your consideration of this grant request and we look forward to your reply.
