TOPIC: Fire Alarm System Devices Upgrade, Testing, Inspection and Repair Services
AGENDA TITLE
Agreement with HCI Systems, Inc. for Fire Alarm System Devices Upgrade, Testing,
Inspection, and Repair Services (General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Authorize the City Manager to execute an agreement with HCI Systems, Inc. for
upgrades to the fire alarm system devices at the Police Administration and Jail
Buildings and testing and inspection services for a three-year period from May 2,
2023 to June 30, 2026 in the amount of $837,792, plus a contingency of $40,000, for
a total amount not to exceed $877,792, subject to non-substantive changes
approved by the City Manager and City Attorney.
2. Approve an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Program
to include the Fire Alarm System Devices Upgrade project.
DISCUSSION
In October 2019, the Public Works Agency issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 19-
116 on behalf of the Police Department for a fire alarm system control panel
replacement/upgrade project at the Jail Facility. HCI Systems, Inc. (HCI) was the only
firm to submit a proposal. The proposal was responsive to the RFP and the City Council
approved an agreement with HCI to remove the existing Edwards IRC-3 addressable
Network panels and components and furnish and install new EST3 panels,
programming services of the new devices, and the installation of a FireWorks System
Touch Screen for Monitoring. This work was the first phase of the project.
The Police Department was able to secure funding as part of the carryover from FY
2021-22 to the current fiscal year budget the amount needed to complete the second
phase of this project. As HCI provided the services on the first phase in 2020, the
Department proposes to utilize the same vendor to continue the second phase for the
fire alarm system upgrade to include the following:
•Replacement of all initiating devices in the Police Administration and Jail
buildings (smoke detectors, duct detectors, manual pull stations, etc.)
•Prevailing wage labor rates

•One year warranty of the parts and labor for all new installed devices, as well as
an additional four years warranty on the parts
HCI is also a California Multiple Award Schedule (CMAS) vendor for fire alarm system,
installation, maintenance, and repair through June 26, 2023. Their CMAS number is 4-
20-07-0101A and utilizing this CMAS vendor streamlines the process in determining
that the prices are fair, reasonable, and competitive.
Additionally, HCI currently provides annual, semi-annual, and quarterly fire sprinkler
system inspections, fire alarm system test, fire pump inspection, kitchen hood
inspection, etc. to maintain and repair the existing systems in compliance with the
National Fire Protection Association standard 25. These testing and inspection services
have been provided in the past with a blanket order contract under $25,000. The Police
Department proposes to formalize a multi-year agreement to include these services as
part of the same agreement.
The agreement includes the following services for the period of May 2, 2023 through
June 30, 2026:
•$729,972 for the Fire Alarm System Devices Upgrade Project at both buildings
•$ 60,980 for the Annual inspection and testing services
•$ 46,840 for the Five-Year Fire Sprinkler inspection and repair services
•$ 40,000 for contingency for any necessary repairs or additional work (also
includes services provided during the period of January 1, 2023 through end of
the contract period)
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds for the Fire Alarm System Devices Upgrade Project were approved as a carry
forward to the FY 22-23 budget and are available for expenditure as shown below. The
funds for the inspection, testing, and repair services are available in the FY 22-23

switches will be tested one (1) time during the annual fire alarm inspection as noted above.
Annual Fire Hydrant Flow Test
HCI will perform the required annual flow test of the four (4) onsite fire hydrants as required per NFPA 25 (Section
7.2.2.5). HCI will attempt to locate road box to access the fire hydrant shut off valve. Hydrant will be opened fully and
water flowed until all foreign material has cleared.
Annual Fire Pump Inspection
HCI will perform the annual fire pump inspection on one(1) fire pump. NFPA 25 requires that an annual flow test of
the pump assembly be performed to determine its ability to continue to attain satisfactory performance at shutoff,
rated flow, and peak loads. Annual flow tests allow for year-by-year comparisons of pump performance.

Terms & Conditions
1. TERM: The original term of this Agreement is 12 months, starting the month during which services commence. The term will
automatically renew itself for an additional 36 months from the last day of the original term or any renewal term unless either
you or we give the other at least 30 days prior written notice of its intention to cancel the Agreement at the end of the original
term or at the end of the applicable renewal term.
2. Customer agrees:
To provide free access to all areas of the facility covered by the fire alarm system. Where necessary, the customer will
provide a person familiar with the facility who can gain access to all areas;
To provide the necessary equipment or lifts to reach inaccessible equipment and peripherals;
To supply suitable electrical service, and;
That in the event of any emergency or system failure, reasonable safety precautions will be taken to protect life and property
(including fire watch) during the period of time from when HCI is first notified of the emergency or failure and until such time
that HCI notifies the customer that the system is operational or that the emergency has cleared.
3. This Agreement assumes the system covered is in maintainable condition. If repairs are found necessary upon inspection, a
proposal for repair at an additional cost will be submitted for approval. Should such repair proposal be declined, those non-
maintainable items will be removed from the service agreement and the contract amount adjusted accordingly.
4. It is understood that repair, replacement and emergency service provisions apply only to the systems and equipment covered
by this agreement and identified in the List of Covered Equipment. Repair or replacement of non-maintainable parts of the
system such as, but not limited to, unit cabinets, insulating materials, electrical wiring, structural supports and other non-moving
parts, is expressly excluded from this Agreement.
5. Emergency Service Exclusions. Emergency Service does not include travel expense, material and labor charges required as a
result of accident, fire, storm, water, negligence, misuse, vandalism, power failure, source current fluctuations, lighting surges,
any failure whatsoever resulting in whole or in part from a non-HCI installation, parts, service, attachments, or devices, or any
other cause external to the equipment. Emergency Service will be provided in accordance with the description provided in
Scope of Work. All services will be provided during normal business hours unless outlined elsewhere in this agreement.
6. If HCI tests a system that was not installed by HCI, HCI assumes no liability for that system either in whole or in part, and we
expressly disclaim any liability or warranty, as such system or any of its components not installed by us. Any components that
are installed by us or repaired by us are subject to the limited warranty given in the applicable repair agreement. It is not our
duty to investigate or inquire into your legal obligations to any third party with respect to any system that we inspect,
or any of its components not installed by us, and you agree to provide third party indemnification to HCI in the event
of any third party claims arising out of testing under this agreement.
7. HCI may transfer or assign this Agreement to any other fire alarm company or financing institution without notice to you. You
may not transfer this Agreement to someone else (including someone who purchases or leases or subleases your premises)
unless we pre-approve the transfer in writing. We may use subcontractors to provide the services herein.
8. HCI will not reload software, nor make repairs or replacements necessitated by reason of negligence or misuse of the
equipment by others, or caused by lightning, electrical storm, or other violent weather, or by any cause beyond HCI control
except ordinary wear and tear.
9. The customer shall promptly notify HCI of any malfunction in the system(s) that comes to the customer’s attention. HCI will not
be responsible for fire watch in the event of system failure.
10. It is mutually understood that in providing the services included in this agreement, HCI is not an insurer and does not
guarantee any damage to property or injury to person will not occur.
11. Multiyear Agreements: HCI shall modify the annual amount at the renewal date and the Agreement shall otherwise continue
without change. However, the customer may notify HCI within 30 days of receipt of the modification of a decision to terminate
or renegotiate the services being provided, rather than accept the new amount. Standard HCI labor rates for service repair and
maintenance work are subject to change for the duration of this agreement.
12. Neither HCI or its representative shall be liable to the purchaser or anyone else for any liability, claim, loss, damage or expense
of any kind, or for any direct, consequential, collateral or incidental damages, relative to or arising from or caused directly by
the equipment, its installation, its service, or the use thereof or any deficiency, defect or inadequacy of the equipment. It is
expressly agreed that purchaser’s exclusive remedy for any cause of action relating to the purchase, installation, service and/or
use of equipment shall be for damages and HCI liability for any and all losses or damages resulting from any cause
whatsoever, including negligence, shall in no event exceed the price of the service agreement for the equipment in respect to
which the claim is made or, at the election of HCI, the restoration or replacement or repair of such equipment.
13. Fire watch is excluded.
