HomeMy WebLinkAbout5.C.4. Low Voltage Wiring for the New Fire Station�►o
City of Shakopee
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
FROM: Kris Wilson, Assistant City Administrator
SUBJECT: Low Voltage Wiring for New Fire Station
DATE: September 1, 2011
Introduction
The Council is asked to authorize the hiring of All State Communications to install low voltage wiring and
the IT racking system in the new fire station at a cost not to exceed $12,600.
Background
In addition to electrical wiring, the new fire station will also require low voltage wiring or cabling to support
the phone and computer system, as well as cable television and in- ceiling speakers. It will also need
racking installed in the IT room to hold servers and switches.
These items are not included in the general contract with Kue Contractors, but have been planned and
budgeted for as a stand -alone item to be contracted directly by the City. The electrical contractor has
installed all of the necessary conduit within the block walls of the building and we will be ready for the low
voltage contractor to begin work during the second half of September.
Staff has obtained price quotes from four companies that install low voltage wiring. The companies and
quoted prices are as follows:
All State Communications $12,552
Midway Technology Solutions $12,802
Master Technology Group $13,985
Life Safety Systems $15,425
Recommendation
All State Communications has done work for the City in the past and we have been happy with their
performance. Therefore, staff recommends hiring All State Communications to install the necessary low
voltage wiring, as well as an IT racking and cable management system in the IT room of the new station, per
the attached proposal for a cost not to exceed $12,552.
Budget Impact
The total project budget for the fire station (see Attachment B) includes $13,000 for this item. Therefore
we are within budget hiring All State Communications.
Relationship to Vision
Construction of the new fire station relates to Goal 8: Positively manage the challenges and opportunities
presented by growth, development and change.
Requested Action
If the Council concurs, it is asked to offer a motion to hire All State Communications to install low voltage
wiring and an IT racking system in the new fire station at a cost not to exceed $12,600.
