DREWS Electric Utility Director SUBJECT: Award of Contract for New Alarm System for the Electric Department Buildings, Substations, and Property to Pacific Alarm Company in the amount of $7,268.00. BACKGROUND: The Electric department budgeted to install an intrusion alarm system that would protect the electric offices, main substation building, adjoining property, and the Century substation, located in the Cooley Ranch area. The Electric Utility has experienced numerous losses of material and equipment due to theft. The Century Substation, located in a remote location from these facilities, has experienced theft of copper grounding wire that was in place. There is an existing perimeter alarm located at the electric yard which secures the vehicles, equipment, and some materials, however, this system is outdated and causes recurring false alarms to the Colton Police Department that must be responded to. DISCUSSION: Request for proposals were received by General Services until 5:00 P.M. on October 8, 1992. Three Proposals were received on this requirement. Staff members from the Electric Department and General Services evaluated two of the three proposals. The third was completely out of scope for the requirement. It was determined by staff that Pacific Alarm had the better of the two proposals to resolve the problems mentioned in the above background information. In addition their proposal was the lowest cost. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that contract award be made to Pacifi�CAlarm System, in the amount of $7,268.00.
