BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to modify a contract on behalf of the Facilities Management Division with S.A. Comunale Company, Inc. for the replacement of the fire alarm system at the Police Range and SWAT facility. The existing fire alarm system is obsolete and is no longer being manufactured or supported.
The original contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 0800-2014, passed by City Council on April 23, 2014. An extension of this contract was authorized by Ordinance No. 0711-2015, passed by City Council on March 26, 2015, which represented the first of four one-year renewal options.
This project will involve the complete replacement of the existing fire alarm system, including peripherals (fire panels, power supply, smoke detectors, pull stations, etc.). This new system will meet all current Ohio Fire Code requirements and allow Central Station Monitoring by the Facilities Management Division. These renovations are necessary to ensure compliance with Ohio Fire Code and to replace the current system, which is obsolete, thus preserving employee safety.
Emergency action is requested to ensure that the existing fire alarm system can be replaced as quickly as possible.
S.A. Comunale Contract Compliance No. 34-1122758, expiration date October 16, 2016.
Fiscal Impact: This ordinance authorizes an expenditure of $43,179.40 from the Public Safety Capital Fund with S.A. Comunale Company for replacement of the fire alarm system at the Police Range and SWAT facility.
