Facilities, including the Operations <br />Service Center, Library, and Police Department, will be incorporated into the agreement as <br />upgrades are completed. <br /> <br />Tri-Signal Integration, Inc. was selected as the best-value bidder based on the evaluation <br />criteria and the firm’s responsiveness to the bid requirements, demonstrated qualifications, <br />experience, and cost. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br />The proposed agreement provides comprehensive fire alarm services at City facilities, <br />including inspection, testing, maintenance, monitoring, and repair. Tri-Signal Integration, Inc. <br />was determined to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and demonstrated the <br />ability to provide NFPA-compliant inspections and testing; provide preventive maintenance and <br />component repairs; respond to emergencies 24/7; deliver continuous UL 827-compliant <br />monitoring and alarm coordination; and support system upgrades and code compliance in <br />coordination with the Fire Marshal. <br /> <br />Fire alarm systems are a critical life-safety infrastructure. Ongoing maintenance helps protect <br />occupants and staff, supports regulatory compliance, reduces liability and risk exposure, and <br />improves the reliability of City facilities and services. Given the age of certain facilities and <br />ongoing modernization efforts, a qualified contractor is essential to sustain long-term system <br />performance and asset reliability. <br /> <br />EQUITY AND SUSTAINABILITY <br />This agreement supports equitable access to safe public facilities by ensuring that City <br />buildings, including public safety, recreation, and community service buildings, remain <br />protected by fully functional life-safety systems. Maintaining code-compliant fire alarm systems <br />promotes long-term infrastructure reliability and risk reduction. <br /> <br />OUTREACH <br />The Request for Bids was publicly advertised on the City’s website and BidNet Direct. A <br />mandatory pre-bid conference was held to provide project information and ensure all bidders <br />had equal access to the same information. <br /> <br />STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT <br />Approval of this action supports the citywide ONE Pleasanton Strategic Plan goal of Investing <br />in Our Environment by maintaining safe, reliable, and well-managed public facilities and <br />infrastructure. <br /> <br /> <br />Page 279 of 846
