DISCUSSION
The Finance and Management Services Agency's Building Maintenance
Division is responsible for maintaining the fire alarm systems of the
following City-owned buildings: City Hall, Ross Annex, Main and Newhope
libraries, Corporation Yard, the Southwest Senior Center, and the Santa
Ana Senior Center. Services performed under this contract include the
annual testing of alarms and smoke detectors as well as routine and
emergency repairs.
While performing alarm and sprinkler certification testing, Firemaster
identified several deficiencies. In order to facilitate the necessary
repairs, the Building Maintenance Supervisor authorized Firemaster to
perform the work. The Building Maintenance Supervisor requests
authorization to pay for the completed service.
As a result of the repairs, Firemaster has exceeded the $10,000
contract limit. In order to facilitate future repairs and scheduled
maintenance necessary for other City agencies, staff recommends an
increase in the current contract amount. The amendment will allow for
uninterrupted service to the City.
