ISSUE
Should the City Council award a contract to Cintas Fire Protection for Project No. 13-
038 – Annual Fire Protection Systems Inspection / Testing / Maintenance / Monitoring
Services, in the amount of $24,000?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The vendor originally awarded the contract for this project pursuant to City Council
Resolution No. 12708, on June 24, 2013, was unable to agree to the terms of the City’s
standard services agreement. As such, we must rescind the award and re-award to the
next qualified vendor.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Code requires annual independent
inspection and testing for municipal public buildings having fire protection systems. This
project also incorporates the annual inspection and testing of individual fire protection
devices, such as fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, and ingress/egress devices. This
contract now incorporates fire protection systems monitoring, that was previously
accomplished separately by department.
At the request of the Fire Department, this contract provides for the inspection and
testing of the private fire hydrants located at the Wastewater Reclamation Facility
(WWRF).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for this project will be paid from account number 101-4010-430.30-03.
The Wastewater Department will pay for the Private Fire Hydrant testing / inspection
from account number 525-4110-432.30-01.
