Report
Summary
The Phoenix Fire Department (PFD) is responsible for the provision of technical rescue training through its Technical Rescue Team (TRT) Program. In order to provide such training, PFD requires a facility that has the climbing wall capacity, occupancy capacity and availability to allow for the training of TRT students in a controlled environment. The skill-specific training would be very difficult to conduct in any other environment while also maintaining an acceptable level of safety and instructional oversight for the students.
Further request the City Council grant an exception to Phoenix City Code (PCC) section 42-18 to allow the City to enter into the agreement without requiring the contractor to indemnify or insure the City and to allow the City to provide specific provisions of self-insurance for claims that may arise from or relate to its use of the property.
Contract Term
The contract term will begin on or about September 1, 2024, and end on August 31, 2029.
Financial Impact
The aggregate contract value will not exceed $12,500. Funds are available in the Fire Department's budget.
