RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Interim Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract with Battalion One Fire Protection, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $800,000, to provide fire system and fire sprinkler repair and certification services, for the period October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2020, 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 is 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 is also several large scale fire system and sprinkler upgrade projects that Facilities expects to complete this year. As bid on BidSync #1609-198, Battalion One Fire Protection, Inc., (Battalion One) was one of several vendors to bid this work. Facilities are awarding this commodity to Battalion One. 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 Battalion One will be discontinued.
