II. SCOPE OF Reauest: Self Contained Breathing Apparatus <br />Scope of request for this project includes the following minimum standard: <br />1. The open circuit self-contained breathing apparatus covered by this specification shall be of the <br />type using compressed air. The SCBA shall be approved by the National Institute for <br />Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) as a positive pressure breathing apparatus. The SCBA <br />shall meet the latest edition of the NFPA 1982 Standard on Personal Alert Safety Systems <br />(PASS) and NFPA 1981 Open-Circuit Self-Contained Breathing Standard, 2007 edition. The <br />SCBA shall utilize a two stage system of pressure reduction. Main components of the SCBA <br />shall include: <br />• Facepiece and Communication System <br />• First Stage Pressure Reducer <br />• Rapid Intervention Company (RIC) Quick Fill System <br />• Lung Demand Valve (LDV) with Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear (CBRN) approval <br />• Backplate and Harness Suspension Assembly <br />• Cylinder and Valve Assembly <br />• Chest Mounted Electronic Gauge and Warning System <br />• Integrated Personal Alert Safety System (IPASS) <br />• Pull Forward Waist Belt <br />• Buddy Breather/Airline Connection <br />All components of the SCBA shall be arranged to minimize interference when maneuvering in confined <br />spaces and when passing through small openings. Components of the SCBA shall be easily removed for <br />routine service and maintenance. <br />2. The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department is seeking the replacement of approximately: <br />94 SCBAs- One for each seat on fire apparatus and one for each command vehicle <br />10 SCBAs- Training SCBAs for use of academy recruits and training department. <br />300 Air cylinders; <br />18-60 minute air cylinders <br />282-30 minute air cylinders <br />130 SCBA masks, one each safety member <br />1 Facepiece <br />1.1 Body <br />a. The facepiece shall utilize two independent sealing edges, providing three sealing rings. <br />Should there be leakage in the outer sealing ring area, there are two additional sealing rings <br />to maintain a seal. <br />b. The facepiece shall adapt to all facial contours and provide excellent fit factors. The face <br />mask must come in 3 different sizes (S, M, L). <br />c. The size of the facemask must be clearly identified on the mask body with the letters S, M, <br />L. <br />
