RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Sure Fire Protection Company, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $800,000 to provide fire system and fire sprinkler inspection, repair and certification services, for the period March 1, 2018 through February 28, 2021, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This cost is to be funded through Facilities Services maintenance budget. (100% General Fund)

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. Health Services is requiring an additional level of service at their facilities. As bid on Bidsync # 1609-198, Sure Fire Protection Company, Inc., was one of several vendors to bid this work. Facilities Services is awarding this commodity to Sure Fire Protection Company, Inc. This request is for a three (3) year contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, fire sprinkler repair and certification services with Sure Fire Protection Company, Inc., will be discontinued.
