CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The original and subsequent Fire Protection Contracts with the City of Hollister have had a item that states the three entities involved shall work to create either a consolidated Fire Protection District or Joint Powers Authority to provide a countywide fire service. The County of San Benito, City of Hollister, and City of San Juan Bautista have all agreed to participate in a feasibility study to be completed by a qualified firm at a cost share of 40%, 40%, and 20% respectively.
The attached contract is the result of a Request for Proposals (RFP), staff selection, and report out to the Fire Protection Committee. Emergency Services Consulting International (ESCI) has been chosen and has reviewed the attached contract with a not to exceed amount of: $57,083.
The proposed feasibility study will take approximately four (4) months to complete and will result in an evaluation of the current system in place, the current gaps/needs, assess current and projected growth as it relates to fire service, and provide a recommendation to the three participating jurisdictions.
