F. PURCHASE OF REPLACEMENT FIRE STATION 52 ROLL UP DOOR IN THE\nAMOUNT OF $25,194\nThe front-roll up door at Fire Station 52 is in need of replacement. The existing\ndoor was installed in 2008 and has had consistent failures due to inadequate\ndesign and construction. Repeated failures have led to ongoing expensive\nrepairs, and on several occasions, the inability of Engine 52 to respond to calls\nfor service due to door malfunctions. The cost for this project based upon the\nrecommended quotation is $25,194.13. Balances in existing Fire Department\nand Public Works Building Maintenance allocations are sufficient to pay for this\nproject without an augmentation request.\nCalifornia Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Determination: Not a Project as\ndefined in Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines.\nRecommended Action:\nStaff recommends that the City Council accept the proposal from Vortex\nIndustries, LLC (Vortex) and authorize the City Manager to issue a purchase\norder in the amount of $25,194.13 for the replacement of the front roll up door\nat Fire Station 52. Staff believes that the proposal from Vortex best meets the\nneeds of the department. In addition, Vortex comes recommended from\nexperiences in other local agencies.
