BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On June 21, 2022, as a result of a competitive request for proposals conducted in 2022, the Board of Supervisors authorized Agreement No. 230037B with HCI Services, Inc. to provide annual monitoring, testing, inspection, and maintenance of fire alarms located in County owned and operated buildings.
On November 8, 2022, the Board of Supervisors authorized Amendment No. 1 of this agreement to amend the scope of work to add monitoring services of the fire alarm system at the Center Point facility and to provide adequate compensation to replace a damaged and inoperable fire alarm panel located at the Napa County Airport.
Amendment No. 2 of this agreement is needed to amend the scope of work to add monitoring, testing, and inspection services of the fire alarm system at Carneros Fire Station 210 and to provide adequate compensation for non-routine services at various County locations.
For fiscal year 2022-23 and future years, an additional $1,000 is needed to provide routine monitoring, testing, and inspection services at Carneros Fire Station 210. An additional $25,000 is needed in fiscal year 2022-23 and an additional $5,000 for the remainder of the contract term for non-routine services for critical maintenance and repairs as they arise.
Approval of Amendment No. 2 will allow for ongoing routine fire alarm monitoring, testing, and inspections at Carneros Fire Station 210 and will allow Property Management to address critical fire alarm maintenance and repairs in a timely manner. With approval of this amendment, maximum annual compensation for routine services will increase to $49,220 per fiscal year and maximum compensation for non-routine services will increase to $95,000 in fiscal year 2022/23 and to $25,000 in future fiscal years.
