|
| |
|
| |
Recommendations for Council action:
- AUTHORIZE the Chief, LAFD, or designee, to execute the proposed First Supplement Agreement between the LAFD and 3Di, Incorporated for custom software development and hosting costs for the LAFD’s fire prevention and inspection systems to extend the term by two years from February 28, 2021 through February 28, 2023; and, to increase the total maximum compensation amount by $581,850 from $2,048,521 to $2,630,371, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form.
- INSTRUCT the LAFD to work with the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) to identify expenditures made under Contract No. 133394 that are not eligible for funding by the Development Services Trust Fund and to reclassify these expenditures as necessary, in accordance with the provisions of the Los Angeles Municipal Code, Section 19.08(B).
Fiscal Impact Statement: The City Administrative Officer (CAO) reports that the total maximum compensation amount for this contract will increase by $581,850 from $2,048,521 to $2,630,371 to provide for a monthly maintenance fee of $360,000 ($15,000 for the 24-month extension) and additional operational improvements in the amount of $221,850. Contract costs, excluding the monthly maintenance fee, are supported by a $3.27 million appropriation ($2.22 million in the Contractual Services Account and $1.05 million in the Office and Administrative Account) to the LAFD by the LADBS Development Services Trust Fund (DSTF). Currently, the LAFD has expended $1.76 million of the DSTF appropriation, leaving an unspent balance of $1.51 million. It has been determined that ongoing system maintenance costs are not eligible expenses funded through the DSTF. Consequently, any prior expenditures for maintenance should be reclassified to the General Fund in accordance with Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 19.08(B). Preliminary estimates indicate that approximately $195,000 must be reclassified to the General Fund. The LAFD will be required to identify any cost savings within budgeted funds to support reclassified and future incurred monthly maintenance expenditures. Financial Policies Statement: The CAO reports that the actions stated in this report are in compliance with the City’s Financial Policies in that one-time revenues will be used to fund one-time expenditures.
