DISCUSSION
City facilities are equipped with Fire and Life systems for the protection of life and property. The
fire alarm systems and related system devices require inspection, preventive maintenance and
repairs to ensure continued operation. Additionally, the alarm systems are tested regularly in
accordance with the State of California Fire Marshall regulations and National Fire Protection
Association rules.
On May 16, 2017 the City Council awarded a contract to Simplex Grinnell LP for fire alarm
systems maintenance. While Simplex Grinnell LP holds proprietary ownership of the software
used in the fire alarm systems throughout the city, most all of the equipment can be serviced by
other vendors. The 2017 contract provided uninterrupted service and State regulated compliance,
while allowing staff time to solicit qualified firms and ultimately create a list of contractors that can
provide services in the most efficient and cost effective manner.
