392 October 9, 1990 e The proposed system can be expanded to cover all City buildings, thereby eliminating the need for the variety of security systems and their attendant maintenance fees which amount to $13,000 per year. The proposed"system will have a direct link to the E911 Dispatch Center which, will provide for more immediate response to fire or security alarms. I concur with the Director of General Operations and recommend the appropriation of $72,567 from the Capital Improvement Fund and' award of contract to Johnson Controls, Inc. Motion of Mr. Epperson and seconded by Mr. Hawks, the following ordinance was approved on first reading, and awarded the contract to Johnson Controls, by unanimous vote: "AN ORDINANCE TO APPROPRIATE $72~567.00 FROM THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR THE PURCHASE AND INSTALLA- TION OF FIRE AND SECURITY ALARM SYSTEMS." 90-412 - Letter from the City Manager recommending adoption of an ordinance to appropriate $47,400 from the Capital Improvement Fund for the construction of a K-9 Kennel facility for the Portsmouth Police Department, and authorization to award the bid to Patillo & Holcomb. "In the 1989-90 Capital Improvement Plan, authori- zation was included for project costs for construction of a new Police K-9 Kennel facility. The project, if approved, will provide an improved and expanded facility for training the dogs which are used for criminal apprehension and crime prevention. Presently, the Police K-9 Kennel is housed in an old and deteriorated structure which uses a septic system rather than available City sewage. Plans and specifications have been developed for the expanded replacement facility and bids have been received as follows: Patillo & Holcomb, Portsmouth $ 43,088 Woodbury Mechanical & General Contractors, Chesapeake $ 46,850 In order to adequately provide for this important Police unit, the Director of General Operations recommends approval of the project as it is proposed. The cost as bid is increased over the originally estimated S35,000 authorized in the CIP due to the need for installation of catch basins and a force main which are environmentally safe and necessary. The total amount of the requested appropriation is S47,400 which allows 10% in contingencies for change orders. I concur and recommend adoption of the ordinance to appropriate $47,400 for the K-9 Kennel and a motion to approve the award of contract to Patillo & Holcomb, low bidder for the project."
