100% General Fund (Facilities Life-Cycle Improvement Fund)
The fire alarm system at the Marsh Creek Detention Facility, 12000 Marsh Creek Road, Clayton, has surpassed its statistical life cycle. The purpose of this project is to replace the current fire alarm system with a new low-power radio (wireless) fire alarm system throughout the facility. The scope of work will include, but is not limited to, replacing all existing fire alarm system components with new components, both at the exterior and interior locations of the detached building structures. It will also include rewiring/ reconnecting the system, providing new conduit throughout, as required while verifying that all new system components meet code compliance.
On November 10, 2015, the Board of Supervisors awarded a job order contract (JOC) for repair, remodeling, and other repetitive work to be performed pursuant to the Construction Task Catalog to each of Sea Pac Engineering, Inc., John F. Otto, Inc., and Mark Scott Construction, each in the amount of $2,000,000. This project is expected to be performed by one of the three JOC contractors. A task order catalogue has been prepared for the JOC Contractor to perform the Project. In the event that it is not performed by a JOC contractor, the Public Works Department will go to the Board for approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise and solicit bids.
If the project is not approved, the fire alarm system will continue to deteriorate and will result in costly repairs in the future and the Public Works Department will have to return to the Board for approval of plans and specifications and authorization to advertise and solicit bids.
