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 />
