The equipment is old and it is estimated that the entire <br />inventory has a value of $1,000 or less. Staff does not feel the <br />expense of $15:00 per tank for hydrostatic test and additional costs <br />associated with certification of the mask/regulators would be an <br />appropriate expenditure since the equipment is not used by the fire <br />service. <br />Approval is being sought to dispose of the Scott Air Packs in the <br />following manner: <br />1. Transfer the following equipment to Indian River Community <br />College for use in the Fire Academy Training Program: <br />Two (2) Back Packs #5830560, 5830589 <br />Two (2) Tanks #178243, 235592 <br />2. Transfer the following equipment to the State of Florida, <br />Department of Natural Resources, for use in the water <br />treatment facilities at the Sebastian Inlet State Park: <br />Three (3) Back Packs #77802755, 635141 77802742 <br />Six (6) Tanks #T-31442, T-314331 T-22021, <br />T-93322, T-12533, T-3748 <br />3. Transfer the following equipment to the South Venice Fire <br />Department and they will in turn transfer to the Indian <br />River County Department of Emergency Services ten (10) <br />composite MSA tanks: <br />52 <br />M M s <br />
