SUMMARY:

 

Retroactive approval of the sole source contract with Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP will allow the Sheriff-Coroner Department to continue to provide preventive maintenance and repair of the fire protection system to protect the safety of the inmates and staff at the Theo Lacy Facility.

 

 


 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

The contract with Johnson Controls Fire Protection LP (formerly known as, Tyco dba SimplexGrinnell LP) (Johnson Controls) provides for preventative maintenance and repair services for the Johnson fire protection system at the Sheriff-Coroner Department’s (Sheriff) Theo Lacy Facility. Johnson Controls provides fire alarm inspection, maintenance and testing for multiple buildings with stand-alone, as well as integrated, fire alarm systems.

 

This is a sole source contract as the programming language used by the panels to communicate with the various devices on this system is proprietary to Johnson Controls. The system programmers that are connected to these panels to conduct various testing are also only manufactured by Johnson Controls. These system programmers require a proprietary security code that allows the programmer to make changes to the system and are all patented by Johnson Controls. The Orange County Preference Policy is not applicable to this sole source amendment.

 

The table below details the current contact history with Johnson approved by the Board of Supervisors (Board).

Amendment Number One to contract MA-060-21011200 renewed the contract pursuant to the County's 2021 Contract Policy Manual, Section 3.3.

 

Sheriff now requests retroactive Board approval for the County Procurement Officer or Deputized designee to execute Amendment Number Two to the contract with Johnson as noted in the Recommended Action. The amendment is retroactive due to extended negotiations with Johnson Controls regarding labor rate and parts coverage as a result of the aging of the current Johnson Controls fire protection system. Sheriff is working toward a replacement system. The system is approximately 30 years old. Due to the complexity and anticipated high cost, Sheriff will work on adding the system change out to the Maintenance Repair Plan over the next two fiscal years.

 

Contractor performance has been confirmed as at least satisfactory. Sheriff has verified that there are no concerns that must be addressed with respect to contractor's ownership/name, litigation status or conflicts with County interests. This contract does not currently include subcontractors or pass through to other providers. See Attachment C for the Contract Summary Form.

 

 

 

 

 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The contract contains language allowing the Sheriff-Coroner Department to terminate the contract without penalty with cause or after 30 days of written notice without cause in the event that funding is reduced and/or not available to continue funding the contract.
