Subject: AWARD CONTRACT TO GA TECHNICAL SERVICES IN THE AMOUNT
OF $32,459.89 FOR AIRPORT FIBER INFRASTRUCTURE SYSTEM RE-
TERMINATION PROJECT (IFB 18-03)
From: David H. Ready, City Manager
Initiated By: Department of Aviation
SUMMARY
This action considers the award of a bid contract to GA Technical Services for the Palm
Springs International Airport's Fiber Infrastructure System and Re-Termination Project.
RECOMMENDATION:
1. Award a contract to GA Technical Services of Upland, CA in the amount of
$32,459.89 for the Fiber Infrastructure System Re-Termination Project at Palm
Springs International Airport (IFB 18-03).
2. Authorize the City Manager to execute all documents, including execution of
change orders up to ten percent of the contract amount ($3,246).
BUSINESS PRINCIPAL DISCLOSURE:
A Search of records available through the Secretary of State of California shows that a
certified record for GA Technical Services Inc., a California Corporation, filed on
February 3, 2017, listing Frank Cervantes as President. No other corporate officers
have been listed.
STAFF ANALYSIS:
On August 7, 2016, a fire broke out in the Palm Springs International Airport's
mechanical room located in the main terminal. The fire ignition originated from the
malfunction of a 30kVA Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) unit in that room. Although
the fire was contained, there was smoke infiltration throughout other parts of the
building and heat damage to numerous panels, servers, and switches within that room.
It has taken several months to bring the components within that room back into full

reliable operation and during this time there has been no interruption to airline flight
activity. The majority expenses for the fire damage repair and clean up have all been
paid for by the City's insurance policy, and this Fiber Infrastructure Re-termination
project under consideration is one of the final fire remedial projects. Based on the
recommendation from the insurance adjuster's information technology consultant, all
fiber optic cables inside the utility/mechanical room need to be re-terminated to ensure
functional reliance that can be typically compromised with exposure to smoke, fire, and
then water from the fire deployed suppression system. A second work element
recommendation involved using a modified deployment methodology of the Wi-Fi
access points throughout the terminal and concourses which support the courtesy
internet connectivity currently provided by the airport to the traveling public. Both of
these recommendations make-up the Airport Fiber Infrastructure System Re-Terminal
Project
Airport and IT Staff worked closely to prepare the specifications for the project and
Procurement posted, distributed and advertised IFB 18-03 on November 16, 2017. A
pre-bid walk-through was held on December 5 with 14 prospective contractors
registering for the project. Three addendums were issued during the bid process and
six bids were received and opened on December 28. The results of the lump sum bids
are as follows:
Company Name Bid Amount
GA Tech Services $32,459.89
X Act Technology $37,816.00
Netperts Inc. $49,934.20
CSW Comm Wiring Specialist $66,174.45
DBX Inc. $70,862.00
Federal Tech Solutions $73,109.25
Staff recommends awarding the contract to GA Technical Services (Attachment 1), as
the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
Section 21084 of the California Public Resources Code requires Guidelines for
Implementation of the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA"). The Guidelines
are required to include a list of classes of projects which have been determined not to
have a significant effect on the environment and which are exempt from the provisions
of CEQA. In response to that mandate, the Secretary for Resources identified classes
of projects that do not have a significant effect on the environment, and are declared to
be categorically exempt from the requirement for the preparation of environmental
documents. In accordance with Section 15301 "Existing Facilities," Class 1 projects
consist of operation, repair, maintenance, permitting, leasing, licensing, or minor
alteration of existing public or private structures, facilities, mechanical equipment, or
topographical features, involving negligible or no expansion of use beyond that existing

Award Contract to GA Tech Services (IFB 18-03)
at the time of lead agency's determination; therefore, the Airport Fiber Infrastructure
System Re-Termination Project (IFB 18-03), is considered exempt from CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Upon completion of this Project, all mitigation measures related to the damage caused
by the fire will have been completed. In August 2017, the City and insurance company
settled the Airport's claim ($338,461.86, excluding the City's $10,000 deductible); with
the City receiving $48,850.00 for all equipment, supplies, and labor related to the re-
termination of the fiber optic cables and related infrastructure repairs.
Sufficient funding is available in Account 540-5904-43101 to pay for this contract.
