Title
Resolution authorizing the purchase of equipment, material, and services for maintaining the networked fire life/safety systems.
Analysis
This resolution authorizes the Facilities Development and Management Section to continue our existing five year contract to supply these services.
Body
Whereas, The Facilities Development and Management Section has a computerized fire life/safety system and various digital field control units which operate that system for the City Hall Complex and numerous outlying buildings; and
Whereas, Building modifications require changes to be made to the networked fire life/safety system to control new and modified equipment; and
Whereas, The networked computerized fire life/safety system was installed and serviced by the Siemens Corporation; and
Whereas, It would be in the best interests of the City of Milwaukee to procure the equipment, materials, and services necessary to make changes in the operations and maintenance of the networked computerized fire life/safety system from the Siemens Corporation to ensure computability of equipment and undivided responsibility for operation of the systems; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Commissioner of the Department of Public Works be authorized and directed as being in the best interests of the City of Milwaukee to procure the equipment, materials, and services necessary to make required changes to the networked computerized fire life/safety system from the Siemens Corporation during the term of the contract; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the cost to procure the equipment, materials, and services shall be charged against funds already budgeted for maintenance, repair, and alteration of the networked computerized fire life/safety system.
