City staff recommend centralized contracts for fire-protection system testing and maintenance
Summary
City staff recommended centralized, citywide service contracts for testing and maintenance of fire‑protection systems in municipal buildings, with expanded scope to cover the new library and other recent facilities.
Staff presented three recommended contracts for citywide testing and maintenance of fire‑protection systems in municipal buildings, citing the addition of new facilities in the scope (the new library, Fire Station 1 and the depot under construction).
Staff said the contracts were procured through a formal RFP, reviewed by Buildings, Finance and the Fire Department, and that the expanded scope includes testing of kitchen suppression hoods and domestic backflows in sprinklered buildings. Deputy Fire Chief Jason Hanson participated via Zoom and staff thanked Buildings and Finance staff for coordinating the procurement.
Staff described centralized contracts as an efficiency that will help keep city buildings safe for residents, employees and visitors. No objections were recorded during the work session; staff said they would proceed with contract execution as part of the formal agenda process.
