Master Plan Nashua Fire Rescue, NH

For medical emergencies this can vary based on the nature of the emergency. Many medical emergencies
are not time critical. However, for serious trauma, cardiac arrest, or conditions that may lead to cardiac arrest,
a rapid response is essential. Equally critical is delivering enough personnel to the scene to perform all of the
concurrent tasks required to deliver quality emergency care. For a cardiac arrest, this can be up to six
personnel; two to perform CPR, two to set up and operate advanced medical equipment, one to record the
actions taken by emergency care workers, and one to direct patient care. Thus, for a medical emergency, the
real test of performance is the time it takes to provide the personnel and equipment needed to deal
effectively with the patient's condition, not necessarily the time it takes for the first person to arrive.

Critical Tasks, Risk, and Staffing Performance

The goal of any fire service organization is to provide adequate resources within a period of time to reasonably
mitigate an emergency event. However, all emergency events inherently carry their own set of special
circumstances and will require varying levels of staffing based upon factors surrounding the incident. Properties
with high fire risk often require greater numbers of personnel and apparatus to effectively mitigate the fire
emergency. Staffing and deployment decisions should be made with consideration of the level of risk involved.
Common risk categories used in the fire service are:

= Low Risk: Areas and properties used for agricultural purposes, open space, low-density residential,
and other low intensity uses.

= Moderate Risk: Areas and properties used for medium density single family residences, small
commercial and offices uses, low intensity retail sales, and equivalently sized business activities.

« High Risk: Higher density businesses and structures, mixed use areas, high density residential,
industrial, warehousing, and large mercantile structures.

Fire emergencies are even more resource critical. Again, the true test of performance is the time it takes to
deliver sufficient personnel to initiate the application of water to a fire. This is the only practical method to
reverse the continuing internal temperature increases and ultimately prevent flashover. The arrival of one
person with a portable radio does not provide fire intervention capability and should not be counted as
“arrival” by the fire department. The Management and Staffing section of this report detailed the NFPA 1710
critical tasks expected to be performed by firefighters concurrently, referred to as the “effective response
force” (ERF) and compared that to the number of Nashua firefighters that are initially deployed for structure
fires.

Response Time Performance Objectives

To initiate the process of developing performance objectives, several items must be considered. Although
the specific information needed to complete this process will vary with each organization, the following items
will generally need to be addressed during this process. Historical call data must be collected and analyzed
to determine current performance baselines and identify any gaps in data required; response zones must be
established based on agreed-upon criteria (i.e., population zones, geographic boundaries, etc.); and
benchmarks established as goals for these demand zones.

Current Response Goals

ESCI emphasizes the importance of establishing and regularly monitoring performance metrics for the
deployment of resources. These metrics serve as the foundation for determining whether or not the
organization is meeting the expectations of the community that it serves. Without regular and consistent
performance evaluation, it is impossible to set and achieve goals established to meet community
expectations.

Response standards established by the Department must originate from the community served to create a
balance between what is desired and what can be afforded. Because of this, ESCI cannot establish baseline
and benchmark performance metrics for a given organization. However, recommendations based upon the
analysis conducted throughout this report may help serve as a starting point for these discussions with the
community served or may serve as a reevaluation tool for the Department's current standards.

Response standards are individual to each organization. Multiple factors such as staffing, financial
constraints, size of the service area, and political will influence each department's ability to set achievable
goals and objectives for response.

Failure to promptly restore existing property and structures including, but not limited to
driveways and lawns, may result in the ENGINEER’s determination that associated work
is not complete and therefore not eligible for progress payment. Such associated work
may include, but not be limited to paving, pipe installation, catch basins, manholes and
curbing.

Unless specifically agreed to in advance, driveway tie-ins will be paved concurrent with
top course paving operations.

In no circumstances shall driveway tie-ins not be completed within two weeks of the
adjacent top course paving.

PERATI ITH REFUSE PICKUP
The CONTRACTOR shall determine the schedule for trash pickup by contacting the City
of Nashua’s Solid Waste Department. The CONTRACTOR shall cooperate and make
arrangements to insure that trash pickup is not delayed or obstructed in any way. This

work area for pickup by the Solid Waste Department and then returning the barrels back
to each house.

PERATI ITH ALITY A RANCE
A minimum of one core per street shall be taken. Cores shall be cut and delivered to
the City within 24 hours of pavement placement. Core locations will be selected
randomly by the ENGINEER. Failure to cut and deliver cores may result in delay of
progress payments for pavement.

PROPERTY I RANCE
Property insurance is referenced in the General Conditions (Article 5.05).

Property insurance is not required for this contract.

ACCESS TO PRODUCTION FACILITIES

The City of Nashua may choose to have inspection and testing performed at the asphalt

B. The CONTRACTOR shall take measurements as needed before work commences at
each ramp location to assure that the CONTRACTOR has all control needed to
construct sidewalk improvements in compliance with ADA requirements.

C. The ENGINEER will meet with the CONTRACTOR in advance of work at each
ramp location to assure concurrence on the limits and extent of work needed to
achieve ADA compliance.

SC - 8 of 9

D. If in the opinion of the CONTRACTOR, construction of an ADA compliant ramp is
not possible at any location the CONTRACTOR shall notify the ENGINEER in
writing in advance of any construction activities at that location. Unless notification
of any such concerns is made to the ENGINEER, CONTRACTOR shall be singularly
responsible for the ADA compliance of the finished work.

E. During construction the CONTRACTOR must maintain pedestrian detours and
provide an ADA compliant fillet at each ramp location until final paving is complete.

PUBLIC CLAIMS

All claims received by the City or the CONTRACTOR from the public shall be
documented using the Claim Tracking Form (see Division 8) in the contract. The
