SUBJECT: CONTRA COSTA REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER— FIRE SPRINKLER HEADS
REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT (WH 50813)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION(S):
DETERMINE that there is a need to continue with the emergency action taken by the Board on
October 19, 1999 pursuant to Public Contract Code Sections 20134 and 22050.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Current estimates of the financial impact have increased by $25,000.00 to a revised estimate
between $100,000 and $125,000 for all work.
BACKROUND AND REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION(S):
On October 19, 1999, the Board acknowledged a national recall of defective "Omega" brand fire
sprinkler heads. This created an immediate need to remove and replace 1,750 defective fire sprinkler
heads installed at the Contra Costa Regional Medical Center.
Rolf Jensen and Associates, Walnut Creek, CA developed a specification describing the work. The
contract for removal and replacement of the fire sprinklers will be awarded to Vintage Fire Sprinkler
Company of EI Sobrante CA.
Central Sprinkler Company will no longer furnish replacement sprinkler heads due to their twelve-
month fabrication and delivery schedule. The defective Omega sprinkler heads will be replaced with
new Star sprinkler heads that are immediately available. In lieu of supplying replacements, Central
will provide a $5.00 reimbursement for each defective sprinkler head. The difference between this
reimbursement and the cost of new sprinkler heads accounts for the increased estimated cost.
Reimbursement for installation costs will be provided by a trust fund established by the Consumer
Product Safety Commission, The replacement work is expected to commence in December and will
complete by February 28, 1999.
