Compliance Explanation
The Lucas CPR device is a lifesaving
mechanism which automatically provides
CPR to a patient. In doing so, it prevents
exposure of fire/ EMS staff from
exhalations while performing CPR. The
purchase meets CARES eligibility as an
unbudgeted expense dedicated to fight
COVID-19. (The City of Ferndale
purchased two devices; one was
budgeted for and the other is included in
this submission.) This purchase is not
FEMA eligible because of the permanent
use of the device, which violates the
emergent requirement of FEMA
eligibility.
This purchase was submitted to and
authorized by Ferndale City Council
during the public meeting held August
24, 2020. Documentation regarding the
cost of each item is attached.

Compliance Explanation
The coveralls purchased by Ferndale
Fire allow fire/EMS staff to respond to
emergencies with a reduced chance to
carry infections materials on their uniform
from one call to the next. It also allows
them to prevent additional uniform
maintenance needed between calls
because they will be able to don a clean
set of coveralls and move to the
emergency. The purchase meets CARES
eligibility as an unbudgeted expense
dedicated to fight COVID-19. This
purchase is not FEMA eligible because it
exceeds the maximum 60 day supply
requirement of FEMA eligibility.
