Grant Amendment

Okay ....

Now I'm confused again. Do we have to spend the money on the buddy breathing, yes it was specified in the narrative and budget, or can we use the funds for them for more packs or bottles? I didn't think we could. The way it was written is exactly this (literally copied and pasted from the grant application):

Scott 4.5 Air-Pak NXG2 w/ standard harness, EZ Flo II Quick Connect Regulator, Pak-Alert SE+, Dual EBSS and CBRN Certified, Scott 4500 psi 45 minute Carbon cylinder with valve, spare Scott 4500 psi 45 minute Carbon cylinder with valve, Scott AV3000 facepiece and facepiece bag

Sorry for the confusion. You need to purchase the SCBA as written.

Name brands and model numbers don't mean anything in the application, just the basics. So 4500psi, w/integrated PASS, CBRN certified, 2-45min bottles, facepiece & bag is your base. Now if you mentioned somewhere else in the narrative that the buddy breathing connections would increase FF safety, then they must be included in the purchase because they were specifically asked for. As long as you meet that DHS is happy.

Now if each unit costs less than requested then you can only spend another $4999 in fed funds buying extra anything whether it's bottles masks, or whatever.

Exception on purchasing certain name brands is if it's needed for full interoperability purposes.
