Title
Fire Life Safety Systems Testing, Inspections, Maintenance and Repairs - Amendment (Ordinance S-48433)
Description
Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to execute amendments to Agreements 151058 with RCI Systems, LLC.; and 151059 with Metro Fire Equipment, Inc., to provide additional funding to the agreements. Further request to authorize the City Controller to disburse all funds related to this item. The additional expenditures for services and goods included in this amendment will not exceed $400,000.
Report
Summary
The purpose of this amendment is to increase spending authority due to emergency repairs to existing systems and compliance engine inspection fees. The compliance engine inspection fee was implemented by the City after the contracts were executed. The fee was not accounted for in the initial agreement value and has increased costs for each Fire Life Safety System inspection that is performed by the contractors.
Contract Term
The agreements’ terms will remain unchanged, ending on Sept. 30, 2024.
Financial Impact
The initial authorization for agreements for Fire Life Safety Systems Testing, Inspections, Maintenance and Repairs were for an expenditure not-to-exceed $400,800. This amendment will increase authorization for the agreements by an additional $400,000, for a new total not-to-exceed value of $800,800.
Funding is available in the Water Services Department's Operating budget.
Concurrence/Previous Council Action
The City Council approved Fire Life Safety Systems Testing, Inspections, Maintenance and Repairs Contracts 151058 and 151059 (Ordinance S-46057) on Oct. 2, 2019.
