SUBJECT RENEWAL OF ANNUAL CONTRACT WITH FRAMATOME ANP DE&S FOR
CONSULTING/ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR FIRE DEPARTMENT PLANS REVIEW
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to exercise the option to renew the
contract with Framatome ANP DE&S for consulting/engineering services for the Fire Department to
begin October 1, 2003, and expire September 30, 2004, at an annual cost not to exceed $80,000.
DISCUSSION:
In early 1995, in response to the construction industry, the Fire Department initiated a comprehensive
study of the process used by the Bureau of Fire Prevention to review plans for fire protection
installations. A focus group of fire protection contractors, building owner representatives, and private
sector engineers and architects completed an evaluation of the process and recommended contracting
with an engineering firm for plan review services. Such a contract has been in place annually since
then, with the current contract expiring on September 30, 2003.
For the previous year (Fiscal Year 2002-2003), the estimated cost of the contract was $165,242 per
year. The majority of the plan reviews are conducted in-house thus allowing the current contract price
to be reduced for the third year from $165,242 in Fiscal Year 2002-2003 to $80,000 for Fiscal Year
2003-2004.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that funds are available in the City Manager's Fiscal Year 2003-2004
Proposed operating budget of the General Fund.
