Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to modify a contract in the amount of $10,000.00 for the Facilities Management Division with SimplexGrinnell LP in order to correct deficiencies in fire alarm equipment in various City-owned buildings. Ordinance 0416-2004, which passed Council April 28, 2004, provided funding for SimplexGrinnell LP to inspect, test, and report deficiencies for smoke and fire alarm systems in City-owned buildings under the purview of the Facilities Management Division. This modification will provide funding to repair the deficiencies as reported by SimplexGrinnell LP. The deficiencies reported include smoke alarms without power and smoke alarms that operate but do not alert the monitoring company. Per the Ohio Fire Code, all fire alarm systems must be repaired and maintained. The original contract was authorized by Ordinance 0269-2001, which passed Council on February 12, 2001.

This ordinance also authorizes a transfer of $10,000.00 within the General Permanent Improvement Fund (Fund 748).

Emergency action is requested to allow the deficiencies in the fire alarm systems to be corrected as quickly as possible. The failure to correct these deficiencies could lead to loss of life or property.

Fiscal Impact: Funds are available within the General Permanent Improvement Fund. This legislation transfers $10,000.00 from the Unallocated Balance Project to the Facility Renovation Project. SimplexGrinnell LP Number 58-2608861, expiration 07/22/2007.
