FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The cost of $1,110,735 is funded by State Medi-Cal, Federal Medicare, private insurance, and other departmental revenue. Funding sources may change in the future pending any legislative activity related to the repeal and/or replacement of the Affordable Care Act. Adequate appropriation and revenue have been included in the Arrowhead Medical Regional Center (ARMC) 2026-27 budget and will be included in future recommended budgets.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
On July 23, 2024 (Item No. 7), as a result of a non-competitive procurement, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement No. 24-649 (Agreement) with Jonhson Controls, Inc. (JC) for preventative maintenance, testing, and non-routine/unforeseen repair services for building automation systems, in the not-to-exceed amount of $1,110, 735, for the period of August 5, 2024 through August 4, 2029.
The Agreement with JC allows ARMC to obtain preventative maintenance, testing, and non-routine/unforeseen repair services for the building automation system managed by the Facilities Management Department at ARMC. JC’s building automation services for the Metasys® Building Automation System is a world-class technology system, which provides modern building energy management efficiency, connecting Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), lighting, security and protection systems with communication on a single platform. The Agreement covers all quarterly and annual testing in accordance with the safety requirements of the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, also known as Cal/OSHA.
Planned and proactive maintenance provides ARMC with the capability to stay on top of the health of the equipment and address minor issues before they become catastrophic failures. JC provides service options, from regularly scheduled service visits to emergency and on-call non-routine/unforeseen repair services.
In January 2026, JC notified the County that it was assigning the Agreement to Johnson Controls Building Solutions, LLC. The Agreement requires that JC obtain written consent from the County to assign the Agreement. Amendment No. 1 will assign the Agreement to Johnson Controls Building Solutions, LLC.
ARMC recommends approval of Amendment No. 1 with Johnson Controls Building Solutions, LLC, to continue providing preventive maintenance, testing, and non-routine repair services for the building automation system, supporting the safe and reliable operation of ARMC facilities and helping ensure the continued delivery of health care services to county residents.
