Contract with Renton Emergency response Overhead – OT, admin, training,

maintenance….. Support services

Contract costs based upon operating one fire station with one 4-person engine company and one 2-person aid car, plus ½ cost of a BC/SO position 24 hours a day – 7 days a week – 365 days a year

Each 24 hour-a-day position (emergency response) is based upon funding for 4.3 FTE (full time employee)

6.5 positions = funding for 28 FTE

2010 estimate average cost (wage/benefit) for one Firefighter = $ 117,620

2010 estimate cost for 1 FF ‘position’ = 4.3 X $ 117,620 = $ 505,766

Based upon a 2450 square foot house and 2009 Benefit Charge apportionment, the estimated cost savings to the homeowner for a $ 505,766 reduction in the Benefit Charge (the cost of 1 firefighter position – 4.3 FTEs) would be approximately $ 64.00 for the year.

Overhead costs Includes vehicle and facility maintenance
