Title
A Resolution Approving Entering into an Agreement for Third Party Fire and Life Safety Compliance Monitoring
Summary
Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)
We are seeking to enter into an agreement with a third party for compliance monitoring regarding inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire protection systems and equipment. These items are required by our adopted fire code to be inspected, tested, and maintained on a prescribed timeline, based on the type of equipment and use. We often find that businesses and contractors do not follow up on deficiencies until our inspectors do their regularly scheduled fire and life safety inspections. When we find the noted deficiencies, we then have to follow up with the business and contractors, which is very time-consuming. The third party service would require that all contractors report the deficiencies directly to them, and they would handle the notifications and follow ups. This will allow for more consistent and efficient fire inspections. There is no cost to the City for this service as they collect fees directly from the contractors.
