RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement renewal with Simplex Grinnell
LP for maintenance of fire alarms and amend to add the purchase of time
clocks, service and supplies for a one-year period in the amount not to
exceed $45,500.
DISCUSSION
City facilities are equipped with fire alarm systems for the protection of
people and property, all requiring inspection, preventative maintenance and
repair services necessary to the operation of the alarm system.
Additionally, the alarm systems are tested regularly in accordance with the
State of California Fire Marshall regulation and National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) rules.
On May 15, 2006, the City Council awarded an agreement with Simplex
Grinnell LP for a one-year period with the provision for one, one-year
renewal. This agreement provides the fire alarm maintenance for
approximately 40 City facilities. The vendor has performed satisfactorily
during the past contract period and has agreed to renew the agreement with
a five percent increase to cover general administrative increases. An
additional $10,000 is added for sprinkler head repair and to replace smoke
detectors where necessary. An amount of $4,000 is included for the
purchase of Simplex time clocks, service and supplies as used in various
city agencies in their daily office operation to record the receipt of
documents. A contingency of $3,500 is included to cover emergency services.
