FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

Public Works Fleet and Facilities Services are responsible for fire extinguisher and fire suppression system certification and repairs in County buildings and vehicles. By law, fire extinguishers must be inspected and certified annually. Fire suppression contractors also provide repair services and replacement extinguishers. The existing contract for these services is set to expire January 31, 2022.   
  


BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
Government Code Section 25358 authorizes the County to contract for maintenance and upkeep of County Facilities. The Public Works Department recently conducted a solicitation for fire extinguisher certification and repair services. The Request for Proposal was originally bid on Bidsync #2107-492 and Silicon Valley Fire, Inc., was the lowest, responsive and responsible bidder.  
  
The Public Works Department is requesting authorization to execute a contract with Silicon Valley Fire, Inc. The contract will have a limit of $600,000 and a term of three (3) years with the option of two (2) one-year extensions and will pay for services according to the rates set forth in the contract. Silicon Valley Fire, Inc., will be able to request rate increases equal to the rate of increase in the Consumer Price Index for the San Francisco - Oakland area as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, plus two percent, on each anniversary of the effective date of this contract. The contract will be used on an as-needed basis, with no minimum amount that must be spent.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, fire extinguisher services with Silicon Valley Fire, Inc., will be discontinued.
