Approval of and authorization to declare obsolete Broken Arrow Fire Department bunker gear as surplus property and authorize its transfer to the Frontier Shores Fire Department pursuant to a transfer and acceptance agreement approved by the City Attorney’s Office
end
Background:
The Broken Arrow Fire Department has identified structural firefighting protective equipment that is no longer suitable for departmental use. The equipment consists of 16 pairs of bunker pants and 21 bunker coats, all more than 20 years old. Due to its age, the equipment is beyond its service life, does not meet current applicable National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) requirements, and is considered obsolete for operational firefighting purposes.
The equipment is no longer of use to the Broken Arrow Fire Department or the City of Broken Arrow. Frontier Shores Fire Department has expressed interest in receiving the items. The Fire Department requests authorization to designate the equipment as obsolete surplus property and transfer it to Frontier Shores Fire Department pursuant to a written transfer and acceptance agreement. The receiving entity will accept the equipment in its existing, as-is condition, acknowledge its age, obsolete status, the fact that it does not meet current applicable NFPA requirements, and its limitations, and assume all costs and responsibilities associated with pickup, transportation, inspection, use, maintenance, and disposal. This arrangement will also relieve the City of continued storage and disposal responsibility for obsolete equipment.
