Title
Consider recommendations regarding a Bid Waiver and Agreement with Tel-Tec Security Systems, Inc. for facility security, as follows:
a) Approve and authorize installation services and the purchase of goods consisting of security system hardware without competitive bidding in accordance with Santa Barbara County Code section 2-39(c) since there are limitations in the source and supply and necessary restrictions in specifications to maintain countywide compatibility;
b) Approve and authorize the Chair to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Independent Contractor Tel-Tec Security Systems, Inc. to install additional facility locking devices and necessary controls to improve the security of thirteen Public Health Department facilities in an amount up to but not to exceed $271,055.06 for the period of October 3, 2017 through June 30, 2019;
c) Approve and authorize the Director of Public Health, or designee, to make immaterial changes in accordance with Section 32; and
d) Find that the Agreement does not constitute a “Project” within the meaning of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), pursuant to Section 15378(b)(4) of the CEQA Guidelines, since it is creation of a government funding mechanism or other government fiscal activities, which do not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant impact on the environment.
