East Water Treatment Plant Project No. 04-08: Reject the Quote for
Security System with ADT; Accept Quote and Approve a Contract
with Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.
REQUESTED ACTION
Reject quote for security system with ADT and accept quote and approve a contract
with Siemens Building Technologies, Inc.
BACKGROUND
On August 14, 2006, Council approved a quote for the East Water Treatment Plant
security system with ADT Security Systems, Inc.
DISCUSSION
Since the approval of the ADT quote ($32,309.00), staff and the City Attorney have
tried to work with ADT on a contract for the work. However, we have been unable to
come to reasonable terms for a contract. The issue is ADT's request for the City to
indemnify them in certain situations. Since staff feels these terms are unacceptable,
staff is requesting to approve a quote and a contract with the next lowest responsible
quoter.
Siemens Building Technologies, Inc. quote is for $38,250.00. The budgeted amount
of for this work was $50,000. Staff has reviewed past projects that Siemens has
installed and finds them similar in nature to the work requested at the water treatment
plant. Also, staff has reviewed the work scope with Siemens personnel at the
treatment plant. The City Attorney has reviewed the Siemens Building Technologies,
Inc. quote and finds it acceptable.
Staff requests Council reject the quote for a security system with ADT and accept a
quote and approve a contract with Siemans Building Technologies, Inc.
