Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to renew a contract with S.A. Comunale Company, Inc. for annual smoke and fire alarm testing, inspection and repair and sprinkler inspections, fire pump testing, and fire suppression testing for City-owned facilities under the purview of the Facilities Management Division.

The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 0726-2008, passed with four one-year renewal options. It was modified by Ordinance No. 0125-2009, passed February 23, 2009; then modified by Ordinance No. 0537-2010, passed April 14, 2010. The term of this renewal is May 6, 2011 through May 5, 2012.
