Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Safety to enter into contract with Security Risk Management Consultants, Inc., (SRMC) for continued consulting and related services for the assessment, design and implementation of the Fire Division's security card access control system. SRMC will continue to provide active participation from the beginning to the end of this project, including attending pre-bid meetings with the security contractors, evaluating the security contractors proposals and recommending the award thereof, as well as providing project management throughout the implementation and installation process.
The Division of Fire is currently using an outdated security card access control system at the Parsons Avenue Administration and Training facilities. Also, the Fire Division has no security card access systems at any of the fire stations. Contracting with SRMC will provide the Fire Division with an abundance of resources and expertise, which will ultimately lead to the improved security at the Administration and Training facilities.
SRMC completed the assessment of the original Fire facilities security systems in 2011. This ordinance will allow the assessment and implementation to continue with Security Risk Management completing the design specifications for the remaining fire station security plan.
Bid Information: Formal bidding provisions of the Columbus City Code Chapter 329.06 is recommended to be waived in order to enter into this contract with Security Risk Management Consultants, Inc., for their continued work on this project. They completed approximately 80 percent of Fire's assessment thus far.
Emergency action is requested so that the analysis of the existing site can continue immediately, and the existing outdated system can be replaced as quickly as possible.
