AGENDA ITEM NO. D.1
DATE: January 28, 2025
TO: Public Works and Transportation Committee
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Trade Service Agreement 32500297 with County First Fire, LLC (dba County Fire Protection) for Fire Extinguisher Services, Specification No. PW 25-46. (10 minutes)
RECOMMENDATION
That the Public Works and Transportation Committee recommend that the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an Agreement with County First Fire, LLC (dba County Fire Protection) for a two-year term from February 5, 2025 to February 4, 2027, for a total contract amount not to exceed $200,000 for fire extinguisher services in various City facilities, vehicles, and equipment.
Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/orPqP5UCFyo
BACKGROUND
Citywide facilities and vehicles are equipped with fire extinguishers needing annual inspection, servicing, and certification and/or replacement by a licensed and certified portable fire extinguisher contractor. There are over 1,000 hand-held fire extinguishers located throughout the City in public office buildings, repair shops, ancillary buildings, equipment, machinery, fire trucks, and other service vehicles operating throughout the City. Fire extinguishers range from just less than a pound to 30 pounds in size with chemical-based fire suppression agents that are pressurized by compressed air, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide. These fire suppression devices require annual inspections, maintenance, and repairs to ensure regulatory compliance and safeguard public health, safety, the environment, and City property. This service contract allows for the devices to be properly serviced to ensure that the units are operable and ready for use in case of an emergency.
County First Fire, LLC (dba County Fire Protection) has provided fire extinguisher services to the City since 2019. The most recent two-year agreement, valued at $200,000, enabled City staff to determine that the City has been averaging less than $100,000 annually for these services. The trade service agreement was established for a not-to-exceed (NTE) amount of $200,000, which is within the Purchasing Manager’s authority per the Purchasing Policy. Purchase Orders, using the unit prices in the Agreement, are created for a specific amount for the specified services subject to available funds from each applicable division/department.
Although this agreement is within the Purchasing Manager’s purchasing authority, County Fire Protection also has another agreement with the City for inspecting, testing, and maintaining facility fire sprinkler systems since December 2021. Together, the agreements exceed the $200,000 annual purchasing limits with a single vendor for the City Manager’s approval; therefore, City Council action is necessary for the new fire extinguisher services agreement.
10 DISCUSSION
On October 24, 2024, staff issued Request for Bid (RFB) #25-46 to establish a fire extinguisher service agreement. The RFB was directly shared with two potential vendors and published on www.PublicPurchase.com as well as the City’s Purchasing website. The submission period closed on November 6, 2024, with County First Fire, LLC emerging as the sole responsive bidder. Procurement staff reviewed all documentation submitted by County First Fire, LLC. Staff verified that the required, currently valid licenses were in place, checked the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website for any safety violations, and confirmed registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Based on the available information and the research conducted, staff believes that the contractor is capable of successfully completing the project. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council award the contract for this project to County First Fire, LLC.
Work under this agreement will be managed through Task Orders that are issued by the Project Manager before any work begins during normal business hours. For after-hours work, a Task Order must be submitted by the next business day. The Contractor is required to provide all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and other incidentals necessary to perform both scheduled and unscheduled work for the Public Works Department. All labor performed under this Agreement will be compensated at prevailing wage rates.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for this Agreement with County First Fire, LLC shall not exceed $200,000 over two years. Costs for these services are included in the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Adopted Budget. These funds are charged to the respective departments and divisions based on the City Council-approved funding within their budgets. The funds will only be paid for the actual services rendered as part of this Agreement and there are no guaranteed spending amounts. Subsequent fiscal year allocations will be requested during the annual budget process.

37 INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS
Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed. Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start- up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.
Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for commercial general liability and business automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached.
Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.
