RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to SimplexGrinnel for the replacement of the City Hall
fire detection panel in an amount not to exceed $81,000.
DISCUSSION
The Finance and Management Services Agency's Building Maintenance
Division is responsible for maintaining the fire alarm system for City
Hall. Fire alarms and sensors are connected to, and controlled by, a
centrally located fire detection panel. The existing panel was
installed during the construction of City Hall and is now obsolete. To
ensure proper integration with existing alarms and sensors, Building
Maintenance staff negotiated with SimplexGrinnell, supplier of the
city's existing fire detection system, for replacement of the fire
detection panel. SimplexGrinell has agreed to replace the system at a
cost of $74,000. To allow for unanticipated requirements, an additional
contingency of less than 10 percent has been included in the award
amount.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in Building Maintenance Other Contractual Services
account (account no. 73-105-6291).
