APPROVAL OF HALON FIRE SUPPRESSION SYSTEM MAINTENANCE CONTRACT FOR <br />E911 CENTRAL COMMUNICATIONS CENTER <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 7/19/92: <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH: Jim Chandler, ounty Administrator <br />FROM: Doug,Wrightl irector p <br />Emergency Services <br />DATE: July 19, 1992 <br />SUBJECT: Approval of Halon Fire Suppression System Maintenance <br />Contract for E911 Central Communications Center <br />It is respectfully requested that the information -contained herein be <br />given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at <br />the next rygular scheduled meeting. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The Halon Fire Suppression System at the E911 Communications Center <br />requires conformity to manufacturer's specifications and the National <br />Fire Protection Association Standard 12A. Engineered Environments of <br />Boca Raton, Florida, has been recommended by the Sheriff's Department <br />to provide the semi-annual preventive maintenance program for this <br />very important and necessary system. <br />One service call had to be made on June 20, 1992, by Engineered <br />Environments to adjust and balance the system. If the 'Board will <br />approve the contract year as January 18, 1992 to January 17, 1993, <br />the expenses can be reduced considerably for the recent service call. <br />The Purchasing Division was asked to inquire and obtain quotes from <br />other vendors who are qualified to service the Fike System at the <br />E911 Center. The only other vendor found in this area was Protective <br />Systems of Altamonte Springs, Florida, who gave a quote of $1,500 for <br />the semi-annual maintenance program. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS <br />Although three levels of maintenance service is available, staff <br />feels the Level 1 Program of two service calls per contract year is <br />sufficient and the least expensive at a cost of $1,380 versus $2,735 <br />for the full maintenance program. <br />The essential difference between the levels is the 25% discount on <br />the Halon 1301 agent discharged for cause or accidentally and the <br />times at which the service is rendered. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends approval of the one year contract with Engineered <br />Environments for the sum of $1,380 with the date of the contract as <br />referenced above. Staff also recommends the Board authorize the <br />Chairman to execute the attached contract for the term and amount <br />specified. <br />75 <br />
