Facilities committee to propose vendor change for security, fire and elevator monitoring
Summary
Facilities staff told the committee the district’s security and fire monitoring vendor has underperformed on response times; staff recommended contracting with a different provider that would be cheaper (about $7,000) and asked legal review before implementing.
Facilities staff told the committee they have experienced performance problems with the district’s current security and fire monitoring vendor — including slow panic-button and alarm response times — and recommended bringing a different vendor into the remaining buildings.
The presenter said the proposed vendor services include security alarm monitoring, fire alarm monitoring, elevator and chairlift monitoring and panic-button response. Facilities staff asked committee approval to advance a contract change to the board sooner than usual so they could begin work in February; they said the new vendor’s proposed cost would be approximately $7,000 less than current annual spending.
Committee members asked that the proposed master agreement and rider be reviewed by the district’s solicitor before implementation. Facilities staff said they would provide comparative costs and the current contract for the board packet and that they would coordinate legal review before final approval. No contract was executed at the committee meeting; staff sought authorization to place the item on the full board agenda.
