REPORT TO CITY COUNCIL
To:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From:Jason Simpson, City Manager
Prepared by:Shannon Buckley, Assistant City Manager
Date:January 27, 2026
Subject: Agreement with SC Fire Suppression, Inc. for the Purchase and Installation
of the Server Room Clean Agent Fire Suppression and Detection Systems
for the New City Hall (CIP Project No. Z20006)
Recommendation
Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a Public Works Construction Agreement with
SC Fire Suppression, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $160,955.00 for the purchase and
installation of the clean agent fire suppression and detection systems in the new city hall server
rooms in such final form as approved by the City Attorney; authorize the City Manager to execute
change orders not to exceed a 10% contingency amount of $16,950.00; and authorize the City
Clerk to record the Notice of Completion once work is completed.
Background
The purpose of this report is to provide a comprehensive overview of the proposed purchase and
installation of the clean agent fire suppression and detection systems for the new City Hall
building. At this time, it is necessary to purchase and install clean agent fire suppression and
detection systems to ensure the safety and protection of the costly server room equipment and
operational systems. Given the significance of this municipal facility, it is imperative to install a
state-of-the-art fire suppression system, the operational systems and communication equipment.

Discussion
The installation of the Clean Agent Fire Suppression System demands careful coordination and
strict adherence to technical specifications to ensure system reliability, occupant safety, and full
compliance with regulatory standards. Fire suppression piping requires robust attachment
methods, with all joints and supports meeting code requirements to maintain system integrity and
facilitate effective agent distribution throughout the protected area.
Tank bracing is essential consideration, particularly in our region with seismic activity. Custom
seismic racking is required and is a part of this scope of work. Fire alarm control panels for the
system's responsiveness will be installed for real-time status and diagnostics for each device.
Smoke detection coverage is comprehensive and strategically placed to ensure early detection
and timely system activation. Included in this scope will be the thorough testing and
commissioning of all system components, including functional verification of detection,
notification, and suppression functions, which are mandated to certify operational readiness and
code compliance.
Wavier of Competitive Bidding Procedures
Pursuant to Section 3.08.070(G) of the Municipal Code, the City Council has the discretion to
waive the competitive bidding requirement that would otherwise be utilized for this purchase.
This will be one of the most elaborate and complicated systems in the building. Hopefully one that
will never be utilized. It is for the many reasons mentioned in the staff report and the technical
requirements of the design and installation of the system that in the best interest of the City an
exception to the bidding process be invoked in accordance with section 3.08.070(G) of the
contract code. Here-in the design, purchase, and installation, all are completed by the same
contractor. It is also worth mentioning that SC Fire Suppression Inc will perform the maintenance
of the system.
As such the system benefits outlined below foster innovation, and provide a robust framework for
highly technical requirements and inclusion of multiple building systems to function without failure:
-Single Point of Responsibility - Enhanced Communication and Collaboration
-Faster Project Completion - Cost Savings
-Improved Quality Control - Reduced Administrative Burden
-Increased Innovation and Flexibility - Better Risk Management
Fiscal Impact
Funding costs are included in the Fiscal Year 25/26 – 29/30 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
budget, CIP Project #Z20006.

The Project Documents include this Agreement and all of the following: (1) the Notice
Inviting Bids, Instructions to Bidders, Bid Documents including Bidder’s Proposal as submitted
by the Contractor, Contract Documents, General Specifications, Special Provisions, and all

affidavits; and (4) any and all addenda or supplemental agreements clarifying, amending or
extending the work contemplated as may be required to insure completion in an acceptable
manner. All of the provisions of the above-listed documents are made a part of this Agreement
as though fully set forth herein.
2.Compensation.
a.For and in consideration of the payments and agreements to be made
and performed by City, Contractor agrees to construct the Project, including furnishing all
materials and performing all work required for the Project, and to fulfill all other obligations as
set forth in the Bidder’s Proposal, such contract price being one hundred sixty thousand nine
hundred fifty-five dollars ($160,955.00).
2
b.City hereby promises and agrees to employ, and does hereby employ,
Contractor to provide the materials, do the work, and fulfill the obligations according to the terms
and conditions herein contained and referred to, for the prices set forth, and hereby contracts to
pay the same at the time, in the manner, and upon the conditions set forth in the Project
Documents.
c.Contractor agrees to receive and accept the prices set forth in the Bidder’s
Proposal as full compensation for furnishing all materials, performing all work, and fulfilling
all obligations hereunder. Such compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and
consequences arising out of the nature of work during its progress or prior to its acceptance
including those for well and faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner
and time specified in the Project Documents; and also including those arising from actions of the
elements, unforeseen difficulties or obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work,
suspension or discontinuance of the work, and all other unknowns or risks of any description
connected with the work.
3.Completion of Work.
a.Contractor shall perform and complete all work within 25 working days from
the date of commencement specified in the Notice to Proceed, and shall provide, furnish and
pay for all the labor, materials, necessary tools, expendable equipment, and all taxes, utility
and transportation services required for construction of the Project.
b.All work shall be performed and completed in a good workmanlike manner
in strict accordance with the drawings, specifications and all provisions of this Agreement as
hereinabove defined and in accordance with applicable laws, codes, regulations, ordinances and
any other legal requirements governing the Project.
c.Contractor shall not be excused with respect to the failure to so comply by
any act or omission of the City, the City Engineer, a City inspector, or a representative of any of
them, unless such act or omission actually prevents the Contractor from fully complying with the
requirements of the Project Documents, and unless the Contractor protests at the time of such
alleged prevention that the act or omission is preventing the Contractor from fully complying
with the Project Documents. Such protest shall not be effective unless reduced to writing and
filed with the City within three (3) working days of the date of occurrence of the act or omission
preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the Project Documents.
d.City and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence in the
performance of this Agreement and further agree that if the work called for under the Agreement
is not completed within the time hereinabove specified, damages will be sustained by the City
and that, it is and will be impracticable or extremely difficult to ascertain and determine the
actual amount of damages the City will sustain in the event of, and by reason of, such delay. It
is, therefore, agreed that such damages shall be presumed to be in the amount of $1,000 per
calendar day, and that the Contractor will pay to the City, or City may retain from amounts
otherwise payable to Contractor, such amount for each calendar day by which the Contractor
fails to complete the work, including corrective items of work, under this Agreement within the
time hereinabove specified and as adjusted by any changes to the work.
3
4.Changes to Work. City and Contractor agree that the City may make changes to
the work, or suspend the work, and no matter how many changes, such changes or
suspensions are within the contemplation of the Contractor and City and will not be a basis for a
compensable delay claim against the City nor be the basis for a liquidated damage claim
against the Contractor.
Any change to the work shall be by way of a written instrument (“change order”) signed
by the City and the Contractor, stating their agreement to the following:
a.The scope of the change in the work;
b.The amount of the adjustment to the contract price; and
c.The extent of the adjustment to the Schedule of Performance.
The City Engineer is authorized to sign any change order provided that sufficient
contingency funds are available in the City’s approved budget for the Project. All change in
the work authorized by the change order shall be performed under the applicable conditions
of the Project Documents. City and Contractor shall negotiate in good faith and as expeditiously
as possible the appropriate adjustments for such changes.
5.Bonds. Contractor shall provide, before commencing work, a Faithful Performance
Bond and a Labor and Material Bond, each for one-hundred percent (100%) of the contract price
in the form that complies with the Project Documents and is satisfactory to the City Attorney.
6.Non-Assignability. Neither this Agreement nor any rights, title, interest, duties or
obligations under this Agreement may be assigned, transferred, conveyed or otherwise
disposed of by Contractor without the prior written consent of City.
7.Licenses. Contractor represents and warrants to City that it holds the contractor’s
license or licenses set forth in the Project Documents, is registered with the Department of
Industrial Relations pursuant to Labor Code Section 1725.5, and holds such other licenses,
permits, qualifications, insurance and approvals of whatsoever nature which are legally required
of Contractor. Contractor represents and warrants to City that Contractor shall, at its sole cost
and expense, keep in effect or obtain at all times during the term of this Agreement, any
licenses, permits, insurance and approvals which are legally required of Contractor to practice
its profession. Contractor shall maintain a City of Lake Elsinore business license.
8.Indemnity. Contractor shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the City and its
officials, officers, employees, agents, the County and Board Supervisors, and volunteers from
and against any and all losses, liability, claims, suits, actions, damages, and causes of action
arising out of any personal injury, bodily injury, loss of life, or damage to property, or any violation
of any federal, state, or municipal law or ordinance, to the extent caused, in whole or in part, by
the willful misconduct or negligent acts or omissions of Contractor or its employees,
subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be held strictly liable, or by the quality
or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor shall not apply when (1) the
injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation of law arises from the sole negligence or
willful misconduct of the City or its officers, employees, agents, or volunteers and (2) the actions
of Contractor or its employees, subcontractor, or agents have contributed in no part to the
injury, loss of life, damage to
4
property, or violation of law. It is understood that the duty of Contractor to indemnify and hold
harmless includes the duty to defend as set forth in Section 2778 of the California Civil Code.
Acceptance by City of insurance certificates and endorsements required under this Agreement
does not relieve Contractor from liability under this indemnification and hold harmless clause.
This indemnification and hold harmless clause shall apply to any damages or claims for damages
whether or not such insurance policies shall have been determined to apply. By execution of
this Agreement, Contractor acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of this Section and
that it is a material element of consideration.

c.Labor Code Sections 1774 and 1775 require the Contractor and all
subcontractors to pay not less than the prevailing wage rates to all workmen employed in the
execution of the contract and specify forfeitures and penalties for failure to do so. The minimum

apprentices to journeymen to be used in the performance of the Agreement. The Contractor is
required to make contributions to funds established for the administration of apprenticeship
programs if the Contractor employs registered apprentices or journeymen in any apprenticeable
trade and if other contractors on the public works site are making such contributions.
Information relative to apprenticeship standards, contributions, wage schedules and other
requirements may be obtained from the State Director of Industrial Relations or from the Division
of Apprenticeship Standards. Labor Code Section 1777.6 provides that it shall be unlawful
to refuse to accept otherwise qualified employees as registered apprentices solely on the

e.Eight hours labor constitutes a legal day's work, as set forth in Labor
Code Section 1810.
23.Execution. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of
which shall constitute one and the same instrument and shall become binding upon the parties
