SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing the Director of Purchasing to issue a change order to the existing contract with Purvis Systems Incorporated for a Fire Station Alerting System (FSAS).
PURPOSE:
To request additional funds necessary to complete the installation of the FSAS approved by R24-025.
BACKGROUND:
Resolution R24-025 approved the purchase of a FSAS from Purvis Systems Incorporated (Purvis) for installation and eight years of support services for $1,094,136.18, plus a 3% contingency. The contingency allowed for $32,824.09 in additional expenses. As the project nears completion, change orders have been collected and submitted for approval.
Fire Stations 4, 9 and 13 were approved in 2025, after the Purvis contract was approved. At the time of the approval of technology packages for those stations staff was requested to bring the Purvis change orders for those stations separately as they represented a change to the existing Purvis contract.
DISCUSSION:
The Purvis System implementation is on schedule and will go live in the 4th quarter of 2025.
Change orders for the Purvis System are listed below. It is noted that 79% of the change order being requested is for the three new fire stations (4, 9, 13).
