Explanation

BACKGROUND:  This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to modify and extend contract EL001787 with SimplexGrinnell LLP, for annual inspection, testing, and reporting for all smoke and fire alarm systems in city buildings under the purview of the Facilities Management Division.  The inspection, testing, and reporting must be done in accordance with the Ohio Fire Code.  The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 269-2001, which passed Council on February 12, 2001.  The original contract contained four one-year renewal options.  This ordinance requests the second of those four renewals for the year 2004.  The contract will be modified to include inspecting the equipment at Fire Stations #19 and #34.

Fiscal Impact:  Last year's extension was for $22,500.00.  This renewal is for $24,135.  Facilities Management budgeted $25,000 for this contract in 2004.  SimplexGrinnell CC# is 58-2608861, expiration date 03/26/2005.
