Res. 7907 Report <br />February 27, 2012 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Summit Fire Protection submitted a bid but they do not provide monitoring services. If they <br />were to sub-contract the monitoring services the City would have to reprogram the <br />communication devices at additional cost. While it would be possible to continue to have Olsen <br />monitor our systems and contract with Summit for the testing, Summit’s bid was significantly <br />more expensive than Olsen’s bids. <br /> <br />Northland Fire agreed to submit a bid however to date none was received. <br /> <br />Express Fire does not provide alarm testing or monitoring services, and thus were unable to <br />provide a bid for ALL services. <br /> <br />While there have been some bumps in the road with Olsen, they have full understanding of the <br />City’s buildings and its needs. Olsen is also familiar with the City’s systems and has completed <br />maintenance and repairs. Olsen has programmed our alarm panels for their monitoring <br />systems. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />It is staff’s recommendation that the City Council approve Resolution 7907 which approves <br />authorizes another three-year agreement for services with Olsen Fire Inspection, Inc., at the <br />quoted amount. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />Kathleen Osmonson <br /> <br />Attachments: <br />1.
