'( Memorandum CONSENT To: City Administrator- Mark McNeill Mayor and City Council From: Terry Stang - Fire Chief Date: 8/13/2003 Re: Thermal Imager Camera Quotes Background: The Shakopee Fire Department Annual Budget for 2003 has $12,000.00 allocated for the purchase of a Thermal Imaging Camera. This would be added to the first engine out of Station 51. Currently, the other Thermal Imager is on the first engine out of Station 50. As you know, moments count when locating a victim in a house fire. We feel that having a camera in each of the first due engines, the first engine on the scene will be able to quickly locate the victim by being able to "see through the smoke". The "Rapid InteNention Team" will also use the cameras. Which is now part of the Scott County protocol for mutual aid fires in case other firefighters get trapped in the building during firefighting operations. There have also been vast improvements in Thermal Imagers since the purchase of our first camera approximately 4 years ago. Some of the benefits are; Bigger displays for easier visibility in adverse conditions, Lighter cameras and tilting displays for use when you are crawling or standing, Colors on the display when the temperatures reach a certain degree to warn us if we are approaching a possible flash-over area, New computer technology for a better picture and faster refresh rates on the display. After researching the different styles and features of various cameras. We have decided that the Scott Eagle Imager 160 is the best camera for the fire department. We have requested quotes from companies for the purchase of a 'Scott Eagle Imager 160" The quotes are as follows: Clarey's Safety Equipment - $10,300.00 plus the addition of $500.00 for the truck mount charger.

I Recommendation: Authorize the Shakopee Fire Department to purchase the "Scott Eagle Imager 160" from Clarey's Safety Equipment for a total of $10,800.00. ~\"!;::-:t1'"i,mH;;:"'m;:t~~ji,;.!j_.i!:i~Hf:,~_~~ifJJJli~:~ll:'[:mmum,'f. .,.""
