Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and the
Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Simplex Grinnell for
maintenance of fire alarms for a one-year term, with an option for a one-
year renewal, exercisable by the City Manager or his designee, in an annual
amount not to exceed $27,350.
DISCUSSION
Multiple facilities are equipped with fire alarm systems for the protection
of people and property. Inspection, preventative maintenance and repair
services are necessary to the operation of the system. The alarm system is
tested regularly in accordance with the State of California Fire Marshall
regulation and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) rules.
After a formal bidding process, the City Council approved an agreement with
Simplex Grinnell for maintenance and services of the City's fire alarm
systems on November 15, 2004. Staff has recommended renewing the agreement
and Simplex Grinnell has agreed to a new agreement without an increase in
price.

Funds are available in the Finance
