DISCUSSION:
The Anaheim Convention Center (ACC), the largest exhibition facility on the West Coast, hosts over a million visitors each year for conventions, trade shows, and public events. To ensure the continued protection of the ACC, we are requesting approval for testing, inspections, and emergency repair services for the fire suppression system. The contract would include weekly fire pump tests, mandatory annual sprinkler and alarm testing and inspection that must be completed by a licensed contractor. Additionally, the contract includes weekly visits by a technician to address any system troubles/issues.
A cooperative contract will be utilized for this procurement as authorized by Council Policy 4.0 (Purchasing Procedures). Leveraging cooperative contracts allows municipalities to maximize resources, enhance service delivery, and benefit from the collective purchasing power of multiple public agencies. Using a cooperative agreement also streamlines the procurement process by relying on a competitively awarded contract, significantly reducing staff time and accelerating contract implementation.

Approval of this agreement will ensure the continued effective operation and maintenance of the fire suppression system at ACC.
