Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into contracts and issue purchase orders in the amount of up to $52,000.00 to replace the security system and overhead doors at the Department of Public Service’s facility at 1800 E. 17th Avenue.
The existing security system is not functioning and must be replaced. Damaged overhead doors will also be replaced as part of the security system project. The new security system will use Matrix Systems security equipment (the existing city standard security equipment). The system will be remotely monitored by city security staff as the city’s downtown buildings are.
A bidding waiver is requested for the purchase of hardware and the installation/repair costs associated with this project. The 1800 E. 17th Avenue facility is not funded through the general fund and the costs of these systems must be paid by Public Service instead of the city’s Department of Finance and Management. The equipment to be installed is to be compatible with the city’s established standard for security systems so city security can monitor the systems. To ensure the needed compatibility, the equipment and installation work will be procured from the same companies used by the Department of Finance and Management.
The following companies will be used for this project:
Company Name City/State Majority/MBE/FBE/ASN /PHC
K.N.S. Services, Inc. Plain City, OH MAJ
Matrix Systems Miamisburg, OH MAJ
McKee Door Sales, Inc. Columbus, OH MAJ
Searches in the System for Award Management (Federal) and the Findings for Recovery list (State) produced no findings against any of these companies.
