RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors:
Approve and authorize the Director of Health or the Assistant Director of Health to sign Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement with First Alarm for the purchase and installation of new monitoring equipment for two (2) new freezers and for on-going building security system monitoring and equipment monitoring services, for the Seaside Family Health Center located at 1156 Fremont Boulevard, Seaside, California, increasing the Agreement by $6,145 a total Agreement not to exceed, $8,935, and to extend the term two (2) years for an extended term retroactive to July 1, 2021, for an extended Agreement term of July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2023.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
First Alarm has provided system monitoring services for the Seaside Family Health Center since the opening of the new building in 2018.

At this time, there will also be a one-time cost to upgrade equipment for two (2) new freezer units to the monitoring system.
