Where did the 1199's go?

[jasnic0510]

Is it just me or does it seem like they have slowed down a bit on the 1199's? I did not find any DJ's yet for both apps. Hope we are still in the hunt! Wish everyone the best of luck.

It not just your imagination; they came to a screeching halt. Should pick up again real quick. I expect next week to see them start posting agian.;)

[mitchkrat]

Just got my 1199a update for 20 sets of Bunker Gear and a SCBA Fill Station/Cascade on 9/1/2007 3:40am

[mitchkrat]

Hey - I submiited electronically - but I don't see an option to print the 1199a so I can take it to the bank and get it signed. I was awarded last year - do I have to print and get it signed every year?

If the info is the same as last year, no changes, then you are all set. The AFG will use the info on file.

The print option does not show up until after the award.

[BC79er]

Looks like the links went up Friday night, just found one client with the email in the app center dated 9/1. Hopefully more show up soon....

I was able to print my 1099 update for the bank it had an award ref. # on it hope thats good news

[BC79er]

Well, looks like they did more today sometime between 3pm CST and now.

How long does it take between 1099 and questions?

I just looked for an updated 1199A......no dice......do you think they are done for the week?

[LVFD301]

I love you FEMA!!!

$39,030.00 for 15 sets of TOG.

Nothing fancy - we may get a reduction on
helmets from 225 to 200, and I have not seen what the
limits are for jumpsuits/coveralls, but everything else we
should be good on.

THANKS FEMA!!!

Good deal there Blake. Did you get an email, or just find the link this morning?

Received 1199 update today 09-11-07 before noon cdt. Will be upgrading radios to the State 700/800mhz.

[BC79er]

Good deal. Now that I'm done tiling the foyer I can "relax" and check logins for a couple of hours. :)

[plongsfd17]

Any guest on when next round of dj's are comming? We are still in as far as I see need washer/extractor bad. Last close laundry has ask us not to come back with turn out gear. Another question does anybady know if your department messed up in the past and had to repay money do they hold it against you?

[BC79er]

No idea on DJs.

And as long as the payment was made and the grant closed out no problem as far as I can see. I know a few people that have miscalculated and paid the money back then were awarded again.

Checked this morning and found a reference award number for 2007. Looks like some new radios will be coming our way!

[Flochief]

:) I checked a around 12 EDT yesterday and the 07 number was on the application. Hopefully we will be getting a Cascade Trailer.
Wo Ho!!!:)
I just did not have time to post yesterday. Good luck to every one!

[michaeld327]

Another week with no 1199 update.....but the other side is another week without a DJ!! my tanker is still alive....I think!

Has anyone gotten a DJ lately?

[BC79er]

Nothing since the computer DJs. Usually about 5-6 weeks between the DJ rounds.

[michaeld327]

Is there any way to email or get info to see where we are on the list?

CHACHINGG. Just found a major regional SCBA. Was on the 2006 1199A, haven't seen any new Update 1199As. Yet, still checking.

[BC79er]

Scratch that, just found a new update. :D

[pcfdcap1]

We just got our 1199 update for FO to go with the FV we got a couple a weeks ago:)

[fire41108]

haven't heard anything else after the 10 ?'s or the letter asking if we would accept if they lowered our asking price. I still hope this is a good sign. I am just waiting for another word. Everyone that I have talked to say's it's about 95% a good sign.

[fireeater324]

Just got in a 1199a update request today but cannot access it. Will call the helpdesk tomorrow. Is this a good thing? We put in for a vehicle this year.

[7Stones]

Was the Tuesday posting of 1199a's small? I did not hear much chatter in the forum so I can only assume it was another small post. Anyone care to venture a guess when DHS will open the gates and let some larger announcements roll out? They have a lot of money left to distribute and 3X the number of rounds already announced still ahead.

Patience may be a virtue but it isn't any FUN!

Jon

[SLY4420]

Actually, some 1199s were released on Monday this week - but you are correct, not alot of talk about them.

I'm still waiting for an announcement from my 1199 update on August 1st.

[BC79er]

I was surprised at the lack of chatter myself, I thought it was a good sized one since I found 14 of mine. I expected to see a few other folks posting for joy too.

So how many does that leave you holding on GURU of Free Money?

[BC79er]

A lot. When you write nearly 500 this happens. :D And that's without the seminar folks added in, 300 of those just from Jan/Feb 2007. Who knows how many I'll add to both totals with my schedule for the rest of this year. I think Bristol TN is near the end of the 1st week of December, making another AL/GA/TN go-round if you want to swing in. Like the rest of them, no charge to get in.

Kyle's still working on it, aiming for 3 in MO. Clinton, you, and Blake's hood. Trying to hammer out a Wed & Thurs night then Friday day stretch so we can get them all done in 1 trip.

Yuppers Kurt....got a busted thumb. Three weeks on the job and 3 days into academy...it sucks...but life goes on...just found out that I'll be headed back to academy in Feb

[Limeforever]

The joy you must be having. At least its a little cooler in Feb. Just so you have the thumb rehabed by april to hit the space bar.

[Not2L84U2]

I have a feeling that I'll be hitting the space bar button before then. They said I'll be doing admin type of duties until I head back to academy and they've already hit me up about an SCBA project and working on this regional project for an accountability system. So I may not be hitting the enter button until April but I have a feeling I'll be working on projects long before that.

[befferk]

How much longer can we expect the 1199a's to keep coming? I don't remember previous years' patterns, and am concerned that they might have already posted most of the updates and the rest of us are just waiting on the official DJ's?

:confused: Beth

Lawrence - 10/2, Salina 10/3, Hays 10/4. I should have exact location info today or tomorrow on my site: www.firegraphics.org/schedule.htm

Beth, less than 1/3 of the dough announced, around half of 1199As are out. Give or take a few.

[7Stones]

Well, here we are on Tuesday afternoon and no apparently there have been no 1199a's today. I read someone's post that about half of the 1199a's have been distributed. Ouch. If anyone sees anything move, please don't forget to update the thread. I have checked for an update several times today already to no avail.

Good luck everyone.

If you have an old grant, they usually don't ask for a new 1199. Now with the 10 Questions and 1199 on the old grant, all you have to do is wait for the money!

[fire41108]

can I print out this form from the 2004 grant with the 2007 number on it and send it in or do I wait for them to send me a new 1199. also Denise if you are reading this i couldn't have done it with out you.

If there are no changes to the 1199A, you do not have to do anything. Once the award has been made, you can make funding requests with the current 1199A.

If there are changes, they can't be done until after the award. At that point you contact the AFG and inform them of changes to be made. They will release the 1199A to make changes (there is a time limit to do this), print out and send in.

[fire41108]

no changes so now I just sit back and wait for a final word huh.

Schaumburg outside of Chicago on the 29th I believe is where I'm headed. Maybe more in IL/IN after the 1st of the year, haven't gotten that far ahead. Sitting in a Chili's in the Anchorage Airport right now, nice and free wireless Internet. One more puddle jumper to Valdez for the State Convention tomorrow and then right back home. Sister gets married on Saturday, so have to be in and out. Wish I could wander around a bit.

Well Brian, looks like I'll see you in Indy on the 30th. I called and signed up today. Going to try and bring a few more from around here but don't know if anyone else will go.

[BC79er]

Sounds like a plan.

Found fine eats here in Orlando last night, Tommy Bahamas is mighty proud of everything they serve. Great food though, nice crab bisque, rack of ribs that went end to end on the platter style plate. Key Lime pie hit the spot too. Hence the reason I didn't eat too much at breakfast this morning.

Which y'all missed, two of the top grant minds in the country were at the same breakfast table.... ;)

[ktb9780]

That's OK, I made up for what you didn't eat! It was finally good to meet you in person ;) bc!

[SLY4420]

Bumping this one back up to the top...

Seems like we've hit another slump for 1199s for DHS to get a chance to catch up. They've probably got enough right now to pump out quite a few rounds.

Interesting to me is that only a few SAFER 1199s seemed to leak out a week or so ago. Wonder why so few? We do know that SAFER doesn't have nearly the amount of awards that AFG does, especially with the size of some of them for hiring.

Don't forget, still got FP&S to go. Fingernails are about gone here.

Wonder if we'll see any Trifectas or even SUPERFECTAS this year? Already got a few Quinellas out there. Did any of our Double award winners go for SAFER and FP&S too?

Good luck to all those still in the running! :)

[BC79er]

More 1199As were posted today on main AFG, don't know about SAFER.

SAFER takes more admin work on their end to get things rolling with each award, so that's why they release so few at a time, especially since AFG is still moving.

Almost had a hat trick but that got stopped today. Lots of doubles funded, good pile still in the game. So few go for all, I wouldn't doubt we see a few funded for 3-4 2007 awards across all 3 programs. Can't win if you don't play. :)

bunch of greedy buggers around here... :rolleyes:

[BC79er]

If the need is there and they're handing out money, might as well put your hat in the ring. :) It's the program's job to level the field and decide who gets funded. The more apps submitted the more demonstrated need for more funding.

No greed here besides, I have a few folks I told we had little chance since we funded all the high priority stuff already. Still want to submit an app, but low priority needs are a slim chance. Most are happy after the PPE, SCBA, and TICs are taken care of. I had 30+ that didn't apply after winning in 2006, they just didn't want to go for 2 years in a row. The rest all have many, many needs.
