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 freeway, a downtown airport, hospitals, arenas, large pubiic gathering locations, several large utility groups, and commercial facilities that support the surrounding metro area of 2.8 miflion people. Additionalfy, we are the host city of the 2008 ftepublican National Convention and we are activefy 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 divided into three shifts. Each 24-hour operatio�al shift is comprised of one deputy chief, three district chiefs, 16 engine companies, seven ladder companies, and three rescue squads. Eleven of the engine companies also dual-staff 11 advanced life support ambulances. We also cross-staff specialty units including the state's only Hazmat 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 tirefighting. We have 50 members on the state's 250- perso� SUSAR Collapse Rescue team, Minnesota Task Force One. Our fire prevention division performs 19,000 inspections each year. Our public education group reaches over 80,060 citizens through programs and station tours involving seniors, communities, and schoo(s. In 2007, the depaRment responded to a total 40,468 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 2008 AFG Project Description. Following that, we describe our financial need, cosUbenefit analysis, and conclude with our statement of effect as required by the program guidance. As we reviewed the many suggestions made by our members for this year's Assistance to Firefighters Act Grant application, we believe that we have focused on three goals that carry the greatest impact for the safety of our personnel and the safety of the public that we serve. PROJECT DESCRIPTION Total Request: $1,127,900.00 --- ($902,320 Federal Portion) Activity: Extncation Equipment - $317,�00 Our department performs approximately 1500 vehicle accidents annualiy. These accidents often demand that expeditious 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 regularly rely on this "extrication" equipment for 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 leasi. Many power units and tools, well over a decade ofd, are in need of repair or rep{acement. We have had many documented instances of hose and equipment faifure. The majority of our inventory is antiquated and unreliable at best. As we have piece-mealed units together over the budget cutting years of the past decade, we have created an equipment cache that is hard to consistently train on and maintain due to a lack of standardization. This grant, if awarded, will replace necessary extrication equipment on all seven of our departmenYs ladder companies and all three of our rescue squads which are involved in heavy rescue, hazmat, extrication, and advanced technicai rescue operations. �ttps://portal.fema.govJfiregrantljsp/fire2008lapplicationJprint_app.jsp?print=true&app_numbei=EMW-20... 1 J21i200' �pplicationNumber: EMW-2008-FO-08349 Page 16 of 2� �y 3d�- The equlpment will include a hydraulic power unit, cutter, spreader, and aIl necessary hoses, accessories, and secure mounting for each ladder company. The rescue squads wifl receive the same equipmeni as the ladder companies and have the additions of a portable electric power unit, multipie rams and ram attachments, high-pressure 1ift bags, stabilization struts, and all necessary hoses, attachments and mountings. We have budgeted $23,000 for each of seven ladder companies and $52,000 for each of three rescue squads based on quotes 4rom several vendors. With this grant, we wiA be able to standardize our equipment cache, which wiA al{ow us to become safer and far more effectfve. This equipment will help us meet compliance requirements contained within MN OSHA Fire Brigade Standards as well as Minnesota State Statute 182.653 regarding workplace safety and known hazards. The equipme�t will also allow us to comply with NFPA 1936 recommendations on powered rescue tools. Activity: Vehicle 6ctrication Training - $60,000 With the addition of the extrication equipment afforded by this grant, this grant also allows us the opportunity to offer standardized and current extrication training to all members of the department. We have had no formal, department-wide training in many years and this grant will allow us to catch many firefighters who have had little to no structured extrication training. The grant will further allow us to standardize operating procedures and maintenance policies. The training monies requested will aflow us to contract through a technical college system or certified private contractor to provide training for all personne! while on duty. No additiona! personnel costs are requested, as this training wili be scheduled within the departmenYs normal training schedule. The training will allow 1 �0°10 of our operations-level personnel to attend S hours of instructor-led instruction. The curricufum will be presented 6y certified instructors and will convey modern extrication tactics and techniques. This training is essential so that we may prepare our personnel to safely operate the new equipment, better serve the public, and meet the standards as listed above in the equipment portion of this request. Activity: Structural Firefighting Turnout Gear -$517,500 The largest component of this grant request is structural firefighting turnout gear. Again, due to budget constraints, we have fallen behind in replacing this absolutely necessary equipment. A recent inventory of afl turnout gear concluded that 70% of our firont-line tumout gear is no longer NFPA compliant and manufactured prior to 1997. Some turnaut gear currently in �,�se was manufactured prior to 1990 and many sets being worn for protection today are in disrepair and well pass_ their life expectancy. We are requesting 300 sets of NFPA comp4iant structural firefighting coats and pants, This grant will allow us to replace all of our turnout gear in question and adequately protect 100°fo of our firefighting personnel. This will further aliow us the opportuniry to immediately implement a replacement cycle that will keep us current with industry-accepted time limits for the turnout gear so that we do not find ourselves in the same position in the future. This activity will bring us into compliance with Minnesota OSHA Fire Brigade "General Duty" Standards and Minnesota State Statute 182.653 regarding workplace safety and known hazards. It will further bring us into compliance with the 2007 NFPA-1971 turn out gear recomendations. Activity: Washer/Extractors - $30,000 Wth the addition of the turnout gear, we acknowfedge 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 �ecessary 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 wili be located in each of our three response districts and will allow us to get gear back in service in a timely manner. Additionally, we will be able to use these washer/extractors to clean rope rescue equipment and EMS supplies more efficiently than is currently possible. This activity will bring us into compliance with Minnesota OSHA Fire Brigade "General Duty" Standards and Minnesota State Statute 182.653 regarding workplace safety and known hazards. It will also bring us into compliance with the 2007 NFPA-1971 turn out gear requirements and NFPA health and safety recomendations. Activity: �arge Diameter Nose and Adaptors -$203,400 The final portion of this grant request includes the costs to replace/upgrade 100% of our large-diameter water-supply hose (LDH). We are currently using 4" supply hose on all of our apparatus. Many lengths of our LDH currently in service are older than the majority of the firefighters using them. We have documented instances of water delays, pressure losses, and firefighter injuries related to LDH that has ruptured or had couplings that are damaged. While we are slowly trying to replace the hose through normal budget measures, the true replacement numbers that realistically need to happen continue to be pushed back due to other budget emergencies and priorlties. Additionally, most of our smaller, neighboring mutual aid departments have transitioned to 5" LDH, which has far greater water flow capabiiities and fiar less friciion loss_ The many benefits to this transition to new 5" LDH are ittps:l/portaLfema.gov/firegranUjsp/fire2008/applicationlprint_app.jsp?print=true&app number=EMW-20.._ 1/21I200S �pplicationNumber: EMW-2008-FO-08349 Dy �v y Page 17 of 2� a necessary goai and we are hopeful that this grant award wili allow us to implement the transition correctly. We are requesting $196,000 to replace 100% 04 our LDH supply. We are requesting an additional $7,400 to purchase the necessary adaptors for the 5" steamer to 5" Storz connections on all apparatus. This grant wil4 better protect our firefighters by significantly decreasing the potential safety hazards of the aatiquated suppfy hose. It will further alfow us to provide better water flow capabilities to an aging city and water system, as well as a fleet that is being taxed to do more with less. As similar to the turn out gear requested in this grant, this award will allow us to immediately implement a proper replacement budget that will eliminate the potential to fall into this situation in future years. This activity will bring us into compliance with Minnesota OSHA Fire Brigade `General Dut}�' Standards and Minnesota State Statute 182.653 regarding workplace safety and known hazards. It will further allow us to re-evaluate our water supply potentiai and better prepare for the large fire loads located through out our response area and our neighboring jurisdictions. FINANCIAL NEED The department has a total operating budget of $43,805,399. 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 shortfalfs for the past five years and they have made Iarge cuts (34 % in 2004 alone) to focal government aid programs. The City of Saint Paul absorbed massive cuts in state aid from 2003 to 2007. As in most c+ties, the public is resistant to tax �ncreases while at the same time expecting a wider array of services. Our fire department has continued to remain positively 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 heipfui. We have formed a committee ot department personnei to wark on alternative funding sources. This grant committee is dedicated to succeed at efforts such as the Assistance to Firefighters Act Grant, as relying on tradit+onal means is, unfortunately, 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 to address what they acknowledged as a significant problem due to the past edministrations' lack of support of the fire department This audit was completed at considerable cost and it identified many areas of needed improvement that internal an extemal audit committees are now trying to prioritize and fund. One of the most important audit recommendations with relevah""e �' to ihis grant request stressed the importance of funding a replacement program for equipment. It appears that this will happen, but we are so far behind on so many necessary items that the budget projections are staggering. Key equipment and training issues can be resolved if we are awarded this grant and it will al{ow us to realistically budget to keep these activities properly funded in the future. COST / BENEFIT The investment in this grant project will adequately equip Saint Paul's firefighters to respond to the vast majority of incidents to which we are summoned. This immediate investment in equipment and training will pay off in long-term results by safely protecting our firefighters whife they effectively respond to an ever-widening variety of incidents. It will further protect the department, city, and taxpayers from the long-term costs associated with working with sub-standard equipment and training, as well as reduce liability issues involved with fire loss and firefighter injuries. The turnout gear is an obvious necessity for most of our response categories involving fire, rescue, hazardous materials, and extrication responsibilities. 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 turnout gear afforded by this grant will ailow us to immediately implement a replacement program designed to spread out the future replacement costs of this necessary equipment over a manageable period of time. The extrication equipment and training wilf properly prepare us for an ever-evolving technica! rescue environment and have the added benefit of equipping us for a variety of incidents including special extrication, forcible entry, rapid intervention rescue, and structural collapse. The replacement of the large diameter hose with new, larger diameter supply lines will be safer for our firefighters and provide better water suppfy for our incidents. As our city ages and continues to grow, we continue to tax an older water suppiy system with a heavier burden. This investment will alfow us to do more with fess and still offer superior protection to our firefighters. It also addresses interoperability issues with our mutual aid neighbors. This entire grant award will be a fong-term win for the community as we save them the impact of multiple financial burdens and at the same time better prepare ourselves to protect them. The savings afforded to our short-range budget needs will ailow us to prioritize many other smaller, yet equally deserving projects over the next few years.

STATEMENT OFEF�ECT The activities requested by this grant are the outcome of departme�tal 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 approach to the incidents to which we are dispatched. in an attempt to provide the best service possible, while at the same time promoting firefighter safety, we believe that we have identified several achievable solutions to the problems that 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 ourjob 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 that we have available. Firefighters and civilians will unfortunately, but undoubtedly get hurt if we cannot 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 to which we respond. At the same time, all of the items requested will enable us to perform ourjob betTer, with pride, and with a higher level of safety and confidence. Our current city management fulfy supports our fire department, but due to events affecting the budget 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 continued to make positive progress over 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 depactments of all sizes. We understand that not all of these departments will 6e fortunate enough to receive a grant this year and we hope that we have convinced you of our project's worthiness We also want to thank those of you reviewing this application for your time and dedication to this process and the fire service. We can assure you that the members of the Saint Paul Department of Fire and Safety Services have a commitment, second to none, to protect the community that we serve and that this grant will have far-reaching results in our goal to be the safest fire department in the nation. This grant award would allow our fire department a safer, more definitive edge as we prepare to deal with the incidents we are familiar with, as well as the new incidents that all of our departments across the nation are preparing tor in the decades to come.

Article XII- Audit Requirements All grantees must follow the audit requirements of OMB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. The main requirement of this OMB Circular is that grantees that expend $500,000.00 or more in Federal funds (from all 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 fhe official cfoseouf of your grant. You must afso agree to make your grant files, books, and records available for an audit by DHS, the General 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 XIII- Additional Requirements (if applicable) Vehicle Awardees: Vehicle awardees for FY 2008 will be required to include 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 contractor 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 manufacturers/contractors to provide a bond from an independent bank, insurance company or bonding agency so that the vehicle grantees can recover darrtages they may sustain if the manufacturerlcontractors default during the cortstruction of a vehicle. The amount of the bond should be equal to, or greater than, the sum of any payments, compensation and/cr consideration provided prior to the delivery of the vehicle. If na 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 pertormance 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 pertormance 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 are accountable for the equipmenY purchased with grant funds and disbursed to other first-responder organizations under a memorandum of understanding. Responsibility for maintenance of the equipment may be placed in the hands of the recipient if specifically delineated in the memorandum of understanding between the host and the recipient. Modification to Facilities Requirements: Modification to facility projects (including renovations associated with equipment installations) are subject to all applicable environmental and historic preservation requirements. Applicants seeking assistance to modify their facilities or to install equipment requiring renovations may undergo additional screening. Specifically, DHS is required to ascertain to what degree the proposed modifications and renovations might affect an applicanYs facility relative to the National Environmental Policy Act, National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, National Flood fnsurance Program regulations, and any other applicable laws and Executive Orders. No project that involves a modification to facility can proceed — except for project planning — prior to formal written approval from DHS. If your award includes a modification to a facility, you are responsible for contacting the Program Office so you can be given direction on how to proceed; your contact in the AFG Program Office is Stephen.pezzetti@dhs.gov. Noncompliance with these provisions may jeopardize an appiicanYs award and subsequent funding.
