Standardization Committee <br /> Page 2 <br /> October 15,2003 <br /> NEW BUSINESS: Standardization of Purchase of Air Regulators for Fire Department <br /> Fire Chief Oliveira stated that the Fire Department is trying to replace equipment that is 15 to 20 years old <br /> at their Waiakea and Kailua Rescue Fire stations. <br /> Captain Mento presented background on the request to allow the Fire Department to standardize on the bid <br /> specifications and equipment purchase to Scubapro Air II regulators. He stated that each rescue diver will <br /> have the same type of equipment bringing uniformity to their equipment for operational effectiveness and <br /> keeping safety in mind. The Fire Department researched and found that 1) this was a name brand product <br /> 2) features are such that it will work in harsh environment, simple to use, reliable; and 3) in second stage <br /> because it is sealed, it won't be susceptible to having sediment, dirt and water coming in. There are two <br /> dealers on this island that carry and service this type of equipment. Thirty sets of regulators will be <br /> purchased. <br /> Purchasing Agent Bill Gray had no objections. <br /> Charles Chai moved and Ronald Takahashi seconded to approve the standardization of purchase of air <br /> regulators. Motion carried. <br /> ADJOURNMENT <br /> With no further business to discuss,the meeting was adjourned at 1:42 p.m. <br /> Respectfully submitted, <br /> Guillerma Sumera <br /> Secretary <br /> APPROVED: <br /> William Takaba <br /> Chairman <br /> -2- <br />
