title
MOTION to authorize the submission of a grant request to the State of Connecticut in the amount of $7,425 for the removal of foam and cleaning of the foam system for Gales Ferry Engine 21.
body
Background:
Existing legacy firefighting foam has been found to have PFAS in the product. Changes to state laws and awareness in industry have resulted in new ''clean foams'' becoming the industry standard. The State of CT has a funding stream to support departments in the state including the payment of hazardous waste contractors to remove the old foam and clean the foam systems in the apparatus in order to prevent firefighter and environmental exposure to PFAS.
Department Comments/Recommendation:
This grant request is 100% reimbursement for the cleaning and disposal. I support the application.
Finance Director Comments/Recommendation:
If the grant were to be awarded, at this dollar threshold, three quotes would be required or a Council approved bid waiver.
Mayor Comments/Recommendation:
