Commission authorizes $21,130 repair to leaking fire pump at county facility

Commissioners approved a county staff recommendation on March 18 to authorize Advanced Integrated Solutions to repair a leaking fire pump at a county facility, authorizing $21,130 to be charged to the current budget line for maintenance and repairs.

County facilities staff presented two vendor proposals: Johnson Controls quoted approximately $57,000 for a repair option that addressed only the leaking pump, while Advanced Integrated Solutions (the county’s current fire alarm vendor) provided a consolidated proposal of roughly $45,604 covering multiple deficiencies, including an $11,000 alarm system replacement for the sheriff’s department. Facilities staff said the Advanced Integrated Solutions package allowed the county to address multiple life‑safety items more efficiently.

A commissioner moved to authorize Nevan to engage Advanced Integrated Solutions to fix the leaking pump in an amount of $21,130 to be paid from line 04/00/2013 in the current budget year. Commissioners discussed prioritizing life‑safety items and suggested staff monitor remaining proposals and budget availability. The motion carried by voice vote.

No contract document was read into the record beyond the motion; commissioners asked staff to provide the detailed proposals and to return if additional approvals are required for further work.
