(AVI-SPL), Using a Cooperative Contract for the Fire Department in the Amount Up to $420,570.00 (COUNCIL DISTRICT 9) RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the purchase of audio-visual equipment, installation and integration services from Audio Visual Innovations, Inc. (AVI-SPL), using General Services Administration Cooperative Contract No. GS-03F-0037M for the Fire Department in the amount up to $420,570.00. DISCUSSION: The Fire Department, Office of Emergency Management, will use this purchase contract to upgrade the existing audio-visual technology, which was part of the original Joint Emergency Operations Center(JEOC) renovation project in 2010. This project will enhance JEOC capabilities by improving video and information management capabilities and reliability and providing the ability to route audio and video information from any one workstation to any of the primary coordination room wall displays. It will also substantially improve the ability of the JEOC to gather and share necessary information to maintain a common operating picture internally and with community partners during crisis events. The equipment upgrades will be funded through an Urban Area Security Initiative grant from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The project costs are estimated at $383,820.00 The remaining amount, approximately$36,750.00, of approved funds will be held as contingency. COOPERATIVE PURCHASING - State law provides that a local government purchasing an item or services under Cooperative Purchasing Agreements satisfies state laws requiring that the local government seek competitive bids for purchases of the items or services. General Services Administration (GSA) contracts have been competitively bid to increase and simplify the purchasing power of local, state and federal entities. PRICING ANALYSIS -This purchase is to upgrade existing equipment. Therefore, there is no previous purchase for comparison. If the City were buying the same equipment, it would possibly see a 12 percent increase compared to the 2010 pricing. The current GSA pricing for the upgrade, however, ranges from 20 percent to 30 percent lower than manufacturer's list prices. Staff finds the pricing fair and reasonable. M/WBE OFFICE -A waiver of the goal for MBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the M/WBE Office, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance, because the purchase of goods or services is from sources where subcontracting or supplier opportunities are negligible. ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER -An administrative change order or increase may be made http://apps.cfivnet.org/council_packet/mc review.asp?ID=19833&councildate=6/10/2014[6/18/2014 8:28:59 AM] M&C Review by the City Manager in the amount up to $50,000.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
