Patronage at the facility has escalated in recent years to over <br /> a million persons annually. The train station is in need of a fire alarm system to bring the facility in <br /> compliance with state requirements. <br /> In November 2008, the State of California Employment Development Department's Equal <br /> Employment Opportunity (EEO) Office completed review of the Santa Ana Work Center offices <br /> and noted the need for a visible and audible fire alarm system in the facility. <br /> In response to this report, a request for proposals (RFP) was issued in December 2009 for <br /> installation of a fire alarm system, which will meet ADA requirements. The RFP was posted on the <br /> city website for approximately forty-two days. Two proposals were received and evaluated by <br /> staff. A summary of offers received is as follows: <br /> FIRM FEE <br /> SimplexGrinnell $154,281 <br /> Edwards Systems Technology $158,463 <br /> 25C-1 <br /> <br />
