Council Meeting 2023

Meeting Date:	06/27/2023
Department:	General Services
Pillars:	Excellence in Asset Management

AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider action on a Resolution approving an agreement with VFC Group, LLC (d/b/a Taylor Lightning Protection, LLC) to install lightning protection for four (4) Town facilities and authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement in an amount not to exceed $77,684.28.

BACKGROUND:

Lightning strikes caused almost a billion dollars in property damage in the United States in 2022. Adding a lightning protection system to a building provides a designated path for lightning to pass to the ground, thereby helping to protect the structure and the vital electrical, computer, communications, and building automation equipment connected to the building.

The Fiscal Year 2023 Budget includes $82,000 for the installation of lightning protection systems at the Service Center, Addison Athletic Club, Police/Courts, and Fire Station #1. On April 19, 2023, the Town issued bid number 23-91 for lightning protection systems at these key Town facilities. Bidding closed on May 11, 2023. Taylor Lightning Protection submitted the only bid for an amount of $77,684.28. After reviewing the submittal and checking their references, staff recommends awarding the bid to Taylor Lightning Protection. This bid is $4,315.72 below the budgeted amount.

RECOMMENDATION:

Adminstration recommends approval.
