Fire Station 6 and Fire Training Center Project - Sole Source Justification and Procurement of Temporary Fire Station Housing Structures
End
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Council adopts the attached Resolutions (Attachments II and III):
1) Approving the use of certain sole source products in the plans and specifications for the Fire Station 6 and Fire Training Center Project; and
2) Authorizing the City Manager to execute a rental agreement with Design Space Modular Buildings in an amount not-to-exceed $175,000.
SUMMARY
The design of Fire Station 6 and the Fire Training Center includes specific products that are essential for the project. The project is currently in the design phase, which includes preparation of the specifications. The specifications will include provisions to allow sole sourcing of a specific brand of bi-fold apparatus bay doors, station alerting system, and a fire training simulator system. During the bidding and procurement, these products cannot be substituted with other brands. Staff anticipates that the design will be completed in early 2019 with the request for approval of plans and specifications by the Council in the spring of 2019.
Prior to the start of construction, the existing buildings at Fire Station 6 and the Fire Training Center will need to be demolished. In preparation for the demotion of the existing structures, procurement for the rental of two modular buildings will be necessary for the housing of fire station personnel during the demolition and construction of the project.
