Specific Minimum Task Areas The Study developed by PSSi for Cabarrus County will address the specific minimum task areas outlined in the Request for Qualifications: A. The PSSi Fire Protection Study will help the fire departments create a schedule for equipment replacement that follow the guidelines of the NC Department of insurance, NC Office of the State Fire Marshal, and national Fire Protection Association standards. This will aid departments in budget preparation for equipment replacements and, assist the county in reviewing tire department budget requests and tax rates. B.
