AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: August 5, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Dino J. Villani
SUBJECT: UPS System Annual Maintenance Contract
DEPARTMENT: Public Safety
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request approval and direct payment of the annual UPS system
maintenance contract with the Blackmon Agency for the amount of $9,615. The service period
is from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2015.
BACKGROUND: The 911/Emergency Operations Center requires a reliable power source in
order to provide emergency response services to resident, visitors, and business interests. To
ensure continued operation in the event of a commercial power failure, the facility utilizes a
commercial UPS system and emergency backup generator. The UPS system is designed to
maintain 911 operations until the emergency generator can start and meet the power
requirements of the facility. Reliable service and maintenance is required to keep the UPS
system fully operational. Direct pay is being requested due to the EMPA and EMPG grant
funding arriving after the July 1st start date of the service.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Recommend approval of direct payment for the Blackmon Agency
invoice in the amount of $9,615.
