Recommendation
Recommendation
Adopt the Resolution.
Fiscal Impact
Sufficient funding for Burglar and Fire Alarm system monitoring and maintenance services for Village-owned buildings are included in the FY2022 Budget in various Public Works and Parking Department General Contractual accounts. Expenditures with ADS for burglar and fire alarm system monitoring and maintenance services shall not exceed $31,548.66 in Fiscal Year 2022. $14,244.30 has been spent to date under the existing agreement with ADS. The renewal will include $14,304.36 for the 3rd and 4th quarter monthly service and a $3,000.00 contingency (Total: $17,304.36) for unforeseen required repairs to any burglar and fire alarm components.
Background
ADS has been the Village’s burglar and fire alarm system monitoring company since 2005 and has performed very well during this time. ADS had been the sole source vendor for the existing equipment associated with the burglar and fire alarm systems that are currently installed at all Village-owned buildings and at the West Suburban Consolidated Dispatch Center (WSCDC). This is no longer the case and the Village now has the opportunity to seek competitive pricing for these services. Staff plans to issue a Request for Proposals in early July. A new agreement would be brought to the Village Board for approval towards the end of 2022 for a new contract period beginning January 1, 2023.

The Board could delay action to gain additional information.
