Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to modify contract EL003464 on behalf of the Facilities Management Division for installation of a fire suppression system in the computer room of the new Police Academy, 1000 North Hague Avenue, for the Police Division.  The Police Division has requested an FM 200 fire suppression system, which would need to be installed during the construction process.  The FM 200 system provides fire protection in computer room environments while blending into the surroundings and using little space.  A discharge from the system is environmentally friendly and does not cause breathing problems.  It is designed to snuff out fires within thirty seconds, without the water damage associated with a typical sprinkler system.  Informal bids were requested.

Emergency Action is requested by the Police Division so as to construct this computer facility while overall Academy is under construction.

Fiscal Impact:  Funds for this project are available in the Police Division's Capital Improvement Fund.  

Title

To authorize the Public Service Director to modify a contract for the Facilities Management Division with Messer Construction Company for the installation of a fire suppression system at the new Police Academy, to authorize the expenditure of $61,651.68 from the Police Division's Capital Improvement Fund, and to declare an emergency.  ($61,651.68)
