SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:

Uninterruptible Power Supply.

FISCAL IMPACT:
The financial impact remains as stated to the Board on January 24, 2006.
BACKGROUND:
On January 24, 2006 the Board acknowledged that an emergency exists related to the Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS) at the Fire District Communication Center, that the emergency will not permit a delay
that would result from a competitive solicitation of bids, and the Board authorized the Fire Chief to execute
a contract with Bedford Electric to repair and up-grade the UPS at the Fire District Communication Center.
Pursuant to Public Contract Code Section 22050 and the authority delegated by the Board, the Fire Chief
undertook the following actions: entered into a contract with Bedford Electric to repair and up-grade the Fire
District UPS and related components; and submitted a requisition for the purchase of a replacement UPS.
The actions were necessary to respond to the emergency in that failure to affect the repairs would
jeopardize the ability of the Fire District Communications Center to receive and dispatch 911 calls.
As of March 13, 2006, the corrective action is functionally complete and the upgraded UPS is on-line.
Remaining work to be done for closeout is National Electrical Code compliance with proper labeling of
circuit breakers and a final inspection by the local Building Official (Pleasant Hill).
