On September 16, 2020, the City and Brennan Estimating Services, Inc. dba Brennan Fire & Security, Inc.

As allowed for in the agreement, the term of the agreement has been extended for additional periods expiring on June 30, 2026.
To date, Brennan has performed their duties in an exemplary manner with high regard to customer service and owner loyalty. Brennan’s superior knowledge in fire prevention and fire alarm Services, professionalism, timeliness of service technicians, and their administrative support is highly regarded and valued as the City remains in compliance with local and state regulations.
As there is a need to continue performing Services for City facilities, staff is requesting City Council authorize continued services with Brennan for an additional one-year term, to expire on June 30, 2027, under the same terms and conditions.
