HomeMy WebLinkAboutMINUTES - 10152013 - C.42RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with Alfredo
Ruvalcaba (dba BAT Fire Protection Systems), to increase the payment limit by $220,000 to a new payment limit of
$300,000, for fire sprinkler certification and repair services, with no change in the original term of June 1, 2012
through May 31, 2015, Countywide. (100% General Fund)
FISCAL IMPACT:
This contract is funded through Facilities Maintenance budgets from Fiscal Year 2011/12 through 2014/15. (100%
General Fund)
BACKGROUND:
On June 1, 2012, Contra Costa County (County) entered into a contract with Alfredo Ruvalcaba (dba BAT Fire
Protection Systems) for $80,000 to provide fire sprinkler certification and repair. Public Works Facilities (Facilities)
staff is not certified to conduct five (5) year fire sprinkler certifications. Because these certifications are required, the
County historically sublet them to outside vendors. Additionally, Facilities was not able to provide enough staff for
several unexpected, large-scale fire sprinkler repair projects. These projects were sublet also.
Facilities staff is anticipating several preventative maintenance sprinkler projects in the near future due to the age of
several of the County's large facilities. As met and conferred and agreed upon with Local 1, Facilities Management
staff does not have the capability to perform these functions. This amendment is needed to increase the payment limit
to accommodate anticipated work that will be provided by the contractor.
