BSO DETAIL REQUIREMENT
Based upon anticipated attendance, site or building size, site location, and ability to assure public safety requirements,
a Broward Sheriff’s Office Detail may be required.
FIRE WATCH REQUIREMENT
A Fire-Watch may be imposed depending on the type of event, number of persons present and hazards involved. The
number of personnel and apparatus required may vary depending on the type of event and hazards involved. Below
are the current rates charged for the presence of a fire watch detail, fire inspector or both:
Off-Duty detail assignment services performed by Dania Beach Fire Rescue Personnel will be paid at
their current overtime rate of pay with benefits (3 Hour Minimum). In addition, a City administrative fee
of 10% will also be charged based on the total cost of personnel and apparatus. Personnel costs are
currently estimated to be $84.42 per hour, per person (3 hour minimum).
The cost of apparatus is as follows:
Rescue Truck - $32.00 per hour
Engine (1500 gpm) - $71.00 per hour
Ladder (1500 gpm) - $80.00 per hour
The City of Dania Beach requires payment 14 days in advance for the detail services and fees are to be made payable
to The City of Dania Beach by means of cash advance or a cashier’s check
. Fees are based on individual employee’s
overtime rates which vary from person to person. The amount estimated is based on the highest overtime rate
currently payable in addition to fees for FICA, Medicare, Worker’s Compensation and Administrative fees. In the event
that the entire estimated amount is not required for services, the City will refund the money, less the expenses incurred
for the service. Should the amount of time required for the fire watch detail exceed that agreed upon before the event,
the Event sponsor will be required to pay for any overage based on the actual cost for the Fire Watch. The Event
sponsor will be responsible to pay the actual service price incurred.
The information I have provided on this application is true and complete to the best of my knowledge. I
understand that approval of this event is contingent upon review and approval of all City Disciplines, the City
Attorney’s Office and the City Commission.
