Subject: Additional "Officer Down" signals for new Police building
Introduction
The police department is seeking authorization to enter into an agreement with General
Security Services Corporation (GSSC) for 5 additional "officer down" signals to be
installed in the new police building.
Back2round
The new police building will be equipped with a warning system that will tell other
police personnel that an officer needs help in the prisoner holding cell area. The
subcontractor providing the contractual service for the system underestimated our needs
and did not provide a sufficient number of the warning fixtures throughout the building.
These warning devices, although used infrequently, are very critical to the safety of our
police officers while they interact with prisoners in a confined space. The Police Chief
and I went over the building plans and determined that an additional five warning devices
located in specific areas would meet the safety needs of the police officers.
This lack of devices was originally addressed with the general contractor, electrical
contractor and GSSC and the change order estimates came back in excess of $4000. Jon
RaIl, BKV project manager, recommended that the City not accept the change order
pricing, as he believed it to be excessive, particularly from the electrical contractor. He
recommended the City enter into their own agreement with GSSC for the equipment and
labor. This is an allowed procedure because the work requested is out of the scope of the
contract.
Bud2et Impact
The police building contingency fund balance is $376,154. If Council authorizes this
agreement the new contingency fund balance would be $373,182.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the appropriate city staff enter into an agreement with General
Security Services Corporation (GSSC) for 5 additional "officer down" warning devices to
be installed in the new police building.
Action Requested
If Council concurs, they should, by motion, authorize the appropriate City staff to enter
into an agreement with General Security Services Corporation for 5 additional "officer
down" warning signals to be installed in the new police building for an amount not to
exceed $2971.34 with the money coming from the police building contingency fund.
