Staffreport
SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Staff recommends City Council approve and authorize the City Manager to execute the Non-Professional Services Agreement (NPSA) with Watson Consoles for the procurement and installation of new 911 dispatch console furniture associated with the subject project.
BACKGROUND
The Police Building and South Office Modifications Project is currently under construction. The scope of work includes tenant improvements at the South Office Building and two-thirds of the first floor of the Public Safety Building. The work at the South Offices Building is substantially completed, and work at the Public Safety Building is underway and includes the expansion of the 911 dispatch center from four to six stations. New dispatch consoles are needed.
Analysis
Two quotes were received for the dispatch center console furniture in the amounts of $98,208 and $145,200, respectively. Staff recommends the approval of a NPSA with Watson, the apparent low proposal, in the amount of $98,208.
Eaton, the second proposer produced and installed the currently existing dispatch consoles furniture; however, San Leandro Police Department (SLPD) staff has indicated that the furniture available from either of the vendors will meet their needs in terms of features, functionality and aesthetics. Therefore, Watson Consoles was selected over Eaton as the dispatch furniture vendor.
