Monroe County in the early 1990' s standardized to MSA as the single type SCBA for the entire
Fire-Rescue system. Therefore, I am submitting for your review a request to purchase Self
Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA's), for Monroe County Fire-Rescue from 10-8 Fire
Equipment inc. as a sinllIe source purchase. Attached is the docu.m.entation designating 10-8
Fire Equipment, inc., as the sole MSA supplier in all Florida counties.
Over the course of this fiscal year we will purchase 20 or more SCBA's, not only for our career
personnel, but as replacements to some of our aging SCBA's that are currently in use by the
Monroe County Volunteer Fire-Rescue Departments. There are several reasons to continue to
purchase MSA SCBA's as a single source:
. MSA is the only SCBA brand with a certified repair and testing center in Monroe County.
. The current MSA"s replacement parts are not interchangeable with any other brand on the
market. Having several different type would require a larger duplicate inventory of
replacement parts.
. Masks from other brands could not be replaced or exchanged at the Eire scene.
. No other brand has a coinpatible breathing tube.
. Buddy breathing is not possible with another brand as the MSA buddy breathing tubes and
connections are not compatible with other brands.
. Having different brands of SCBA's on the Eire-ground will result in inefficient Eirefighting. It
could also possibly pose a danger involving the emergency rescue of our own personnel if
the SCBA equipment used cannot be used for buddy breathing rescue operations.
. With ov~r 100 MSA SCBA's currently in use in Monroe County Fire-Rescue it would be cost
prohibitive ( at approximately 52,000.00 per unit) to standardize to another brand.
Again, as has been County policy for approximately 9 years, and for the above reasons, I am
requesting that we are permitted to purchase MSA SCBA's as a single source purchase.
