DATE: January 28, 2002 ACTION The City Council is requested to authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Western States Fire Protection for the installation of fire sprinkler systems in Adult Foster Homes and Special Residences for an amount not to exceed $164,645.00. BACKGROUND In October of 2001 the City Council approved the acceptance of a FEMA grant to pay for 90% of the cost to put fire sprinklers in adult foster homes. The fire department received proposals from four contractors; selected the most qualified, and is now requesting the City Council to authorize the City Manger to enter into an agreement. The Council may recall that up to $258,750 of federal funds and $28,750 of city matching funds were approved for this project. Additional funds will be spent for water hook-up fees, permit fees, city administrative cost to administer the project, and promotional fees to raise the awareness of the benefits of residential fire sprinklers. CONTRACTOR SELECTION PROCESS The project was advertised in the Daily Journal of Commerce. Contractors were required to pre-qualify with experience related directly to the installation of residential fire sprinklers and demonstrate project management skills. Proposals were received from: 1. Gormley Plumbing and Heating; McMinnville, Oregon 2. Jim's Plumbing; Aloha, Oregon 3. Olsen Fire Protection; Milwaukie, Oregon 4. Western States Fire Protection; Oregon City, Oregon Proposal Evaluation Criteria A. Experience and Training of Residential Sprinkler Installers 20% B. Staff Expertise with Residential Sprinklers & Project Management 40% C. Former Customer Satisfaction 20% D.

With the evaluation process completed, Western States Fire Protection was tentatively selected to do the job based on the rates they had proposed in the sample bid.

Based on the staff's approval of Western States' proposal, we are now asking council to authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement. The total number of homes participating has not been finalized. Currently ten homes in the city and seven homes in the county have received tentative approval. If the project goes well and additional requests for sprinkler systems are approved, the contract amount will be revised based on the same rates and in accordance with City procedures. At Council's request,priority is given to homes in the City's boundaries. ALTERNATIVES Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Western State's Fire Protection for the construction management, design, and installation of residential fire sprinkler systems in "special care homes" for an amount not to exceed $164,645.00.
