Overview

Summary

The US&R Rescue Strut system is designed for Urban Search and Rescue operations and is standardized by FEMA. It includes various rescue struts, allowing rescuers to tackle a wide range of structural collapse scenarios effectively. This system is essential for providing the necessary tools to manage complex rescue situations.

There are many forms of the strut systems currently available, however, not all strut systems are compatible with the County's current inventory.

Any bids must include the exact Paratech items listed in this request.

Due to the nature of the use of this equipment, is imperative that any quotes or bids need to be reviewed by the Department and the Technical Rescue Team (TRT).

Background

The Pinellas County Technical Rescue Team agreement is an interlocal agreement (Attachment A) between Pinellas County and the following cities of Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park and St Peterburg. This collaboration responds to emergency incidents that involve complex rescue situations within Pinellas County.

The agreement dictates that it is essential to maintain preparedness, training, expertise, equipment and resources to maintain an effective capability to respond to emergency incidents involving complex rescue situations.

Per interlocal agreement, Pinellas County Technical Rescue Team Agreement, Attachment A, executed on January 11, 2022, Section 501 (d), outlines Pinellas County's responsibly to obtain equipment.

The County replaced the Clearwater US&R Rescue Strut system in 2021 with Paratech Equipment.

This request is intended to replace the 20-year-old system currently in inventory in St Petersburg.
