DATE: May 3, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Barry R. Spriggs, Fire Chief
By: Tom Devlin, Battalion Chief
SUBJECT: PURCHASE ORDER WITH L. N. CURTIS AND SONS FOR THE
PURCHASE OF HURST EDRAULIC RESCUE TOOLS IN THE AMOUNT
OF $61,900
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
The Fiscal Year 2021-22 Equipment Acquisition Budget allocated funding for the
purchase of hydraulic vehicle extrication equipment for Fire Truck 105 from L.N. Curtis
and Sons, the sole distributor of Hurst Jaws of Life tools within the Los Angeles area.
Current models utilize “edraulic” technology. Edraulic is a technology developed for
rescue equipment where electrical energy is converted into hydraulic force, enabling it to
operate the equipment faster and at a higher performance using electrical power versus
hoses and power units. The Fire Department’s current Hurst vehicle extrication rescue
equipment has reached its useful life cycle and is due for replacement. Therefore, it is
recommended that the City Council approve, direct, and authorize the City Manager to
execute a purchase order with L.N. Curtis and Sons for the purchase of Hurst edraulic
rescue tools in the amount of $61.900.
BACKGROUND
Rescue tools are an essential resource for the protection of the life and safety of victims
involved in vehicle accidents where the occupants become trapped. As such, the Fire
Department must maintain serviceable rescue tools offering appropriate resource and
response needs. In 2019, realizing the critical need for its replacement and that
technological advances in the vehicle industry were outperforming the Department’s
rescue equipment capabilities, the Fire Department formed a committee to evaluate,
examine, and test the different makes and models of rescue tool manufacturers and
determined that Hurst Jaws of Life, Inc. or “Hurst” rescue products met all the
Department’s equipment standards in this category. This review also resulted in the
recommendation to use an “edraulic” type of rescue tool that is manufactured specifically
by Hurst. These rescue devices are new generation, battery-operated tool, offering faster

operational speeds, additional power and strength to cut, spread, and remove the
stronger materials of vehicles manufactured today. In March 2022, another evaluation by
the committee was conducted and reaffirmed that the edraulic tools by Hurst continue to
have the functionality, durability, and design that best meets the industry standard for
current rescue tools and auto extrication needs.
Finally, Hurst’s edraulic new generation of vehicle extrication rescue tools will be
supported by the manufacturer for 15 years offering support, service, replacement parts,
and batteries. This length of warranty will help reduce annual maintenance and repair
expenditures by maximizing the functionality of such an equipment for the next 15 years
by Hurst Jaws of Life rescue products. These battery-operated versions are also fossil-
fuel-free and environmentally friendly. They offer updated power, speed, and a quieter
operation allowing for better communications during rescue operations and a less
stressful environment to the victims that are trapped.
DISCUSSION
The Fire Department budgeted funds for Fiscal Year 2021-22 to purchase an edraulic
spreader, an edraulic cutter, an edraulic combination tool, two (2) edraulic rams, and
associated spare batteries and chargers. This purchase would encompass all of these
items.
The California Government Code authorizes public agencies to participate in cooperative
purchase agreements such as those established by Sourcewell while still remaining within
the City’s adopted rules and procedures for purchasing. Sourcewell is a State of
Minnesota agency and service cooperative purchasing program that was created under
the laws of the State of Minnesota (Statutes Section 123A.21) that offers cooperative
procurement solutions to all US public agencies.
Additionally, by utilizing a cooperative purchasing program, the City is able to streamline
the procurement process for these services at a lower cost than the traditional competitive
bidding process. Cooperative purchasing agreements also leverage economies of scale
to enable vendors to provide goods and services at reduced costs. In May 2020,
Sourcewell entered into an agreement with L.N. Curtis and Sons through May 2024 to
provide firefighting equipment, products and services including extrication tools which
encompasses Hurst Jaws of Life tools. A copy of the agreement between Sourcewell
and L.N. Curtis and Sons is attached. The bidding process and the contract between
Sourcewell and L.N. Curtis and Sons have been reviewed by the Fire Department and it
has been determined to meet the City’s procurement requirements. Also the City has
previously contracted with L.N. Curtis and Sons with similar rescue equipment type, and
has been satisfied with their service.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the
environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
Sufficient funding in the amount of $61,900 has been allocated in the FY 2021-22
Equipment Acquisition Budget for this purchase of a spreader, a cutter, a combination
tool, two (2) rams, and associated spare batteries and chargers.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a
project and is therefore, exempt under, the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”); and approve, direct, and authorize the City Manager to execute a purchase
order with L.N. Curtis and Sons for the purchase of Hurst edraulic rescue tools in the
amount of $61.900.

“Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Covering Federally Financed and Assisted

the federal awarding agency. The contracts must also include a provision for compliance with
the Copeland “Anti-Kickback” Act (40 U.S.C. § 3145), as supplemented by Department of Labor

employed in the construction, completion, or repair of public work, to give up any part of the

all suspected or reported violations to the federal awarding agency. Vendor must be in
compliance with all applicable Davis-Bacon Act provisions.
C. CONTRACT WORK HOURS AND SAFETY STANDARDS ACT (40 U.S.C. § 3701-3708). Where

every mechanic and laborer on the basis of a standard work week of 40 hours. Work in excess
of the standard work week is permissible provided that the worker is compensated at a rate of
not less than one and a half times the basic rate of pay for all hours worked in excess of 40

E. CLEAN AIR ACT (42 U.S.C. § 7401-7671Q.) AND THE FEDERAL WATER POLLUTION CONTROL
ACT (33 U.S.C. § 1251-1387). Contracts and subgrants of amounts in excess of $150,000 require
the non-federal award to agree to comply with all applicable standards, orders or regulations
issued pursuant to the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. § 7401- 7671q) and the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act as amended (33 U.S.C. § 1251- 1387). Violations must be reported to the Federal

status reports (e.g., sales (orders and frequency) fill rates vendor performance
returns due to improper shipments and defective items and back-orders).
