ATTESTED:     February  6, 2018 David Twa,   BY: , Deputy
RECOMMENDATION(S): APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Pyro-Comm Systems, Inc. (Pyro-Comm), in an amount not to exceed $800,000 to provide fire system and fire sprinkler repair and certification services, for the period of February 1, 2018 through January 31, 2021, Countywide. FISCAL IMPACT: This cost is to be funded through Facilities Services maintenance budget and charged out to County departments as part of occupancy costs (various funds). BACKGROUND: Public Works Facilities Management is responsible for maintaining and certifying

  
fire sprinkler systems at all County facilities. Facilities staff are not certified to repair or replace sprinkler systems or conduct five (5) year fire sprinkler certifications. As these certifications are required, we historically sublet them to outside vendors. There are also several large scale fire system and sprinkler upgrade projects that Facilities expects to complete this year. As bid on Bidsync # 1609-198, Pyro-Comm Systems, Inc., was one of several vendors to bid this work. Battalion One Protection and Bat Fire Protection were awarded this commodity also. Facilities is adding Pyro-Comm to assist them with the recently added service requests needed at Health Services Facilities. This request is for a three (3) year contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
