ATTACHMENT C <br />but would contribute to the overall effectiveness of USAR team coordination, training, and response for <br /> <br />both agencies. <br />Confirm present costs for service delivery: <br />The total budget WRT for cert pay, training, and equipment is $125,000. <br /> <br />The total budget for USAR for cert pay, training, and equipment is $120,000. <br /> <br />Springfield WRT money is currently splint between several different line items. No certification pay is <br />provided. M&S and repair total approximately $15,000 annually. Previous FEMA grant money paid for a <br />significant portion of Springfield PPE (personal protection equipment) costs and will need to be budgeted <br />when those items need to be replaced. <br /> <br />Springfield USAR does not receive certification pay. The overtime training funds were cut from the 2009 <br />budget. This has limited training to on-duty exercises. Up to this point the major portion of equipment <br />purchases have come from DHS grants. Future budgets will need line item M&S funding to support <br />equipment repair and replacement. <br /> <br />Onetime costs that are required to implement the program: <br /> <br />No foreseen costs for WRT or USAR. <br /> <br />Ongoing costs that are required to maintain program: <br /> <br />Cert pay, training and drilling costs, boat and water craft maintenance and replacement, Safety Fest costs, <br /> <br />equipment maintenance and routine replacement. <br /> <br />Identify cost avoidance opportunities: <br /> <br />Reduction of boat and watercraft replacement (from 4 boats to 3). <br />Reduction of Heavy Rescue purchase for Eugene. <br />Replacement of Rescue 5 after its life cycle will reduce air refilling equipment and expand tools and <br />equipment storage. <br />Eugene ALL truck can support air refilling for the metro area. <br /> <br />Consider long-term economies of scale: <br /> <br /> <br />Both organizations could improve truck and tower response during water rescue, thus <br /> providing improved service while reducing costs. <br /> Having up to 6 stations (3 primary and 3 support stations) for USAR deployment will <br /> allow each team to utilize officers and engineers that have promoted to assist with <br /> USAR responsibilities. The expense to train a USAR team member to full <br /> certification in all USAR disciplines is over $50,000 per team member. <br /> By combining personnel we will have the ability to provide in-house technician level <br /> training and certification for all USAR disciplines. <br /> <br /> <br />43 <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT 3 <br /> <br />
