Introduction
This report recommends that city council award a contract for the
design and installation (design-build) of a fire protection system
for the Santa Monica Pier to Cosco Fire Protection, Inc. , the
lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $260,750.00.
Background
During the FY 1991-92 budget process, the city council approved
funding for the installation of a fire protection system for the
Santa Monica Pier. The Pier, excluding the private restaurants and
entertainment establishments, only has a fire sprinkler system
under the Carousel building. The work required to protect the
entire pier will be divided into two phases. The scope of work in
this first phase includes the design and installation of the main
supply line and the automatic fire sprinkler system in the easterly
half of the pier sub-structure.
The second phase which includes the remaining half of the pier will
be constructed following the completion of the structural upgrading
of pier members under the Fun Zone area in the spring of 1995.
