Information
The Fire Department has been working with the Birch Manor Condominium Association since early 2017 to
obtain a proposal for fire alarm systems upgrades. In early 2017, the Birch Manor Condominiums were
annexed into Mount Prospect. As a result, the Fire Department identified fire alarm deficiencies that would
need to be addressed for all eight buildings. In 2017, the Village of Mount Prospect approved $56,000 through
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to address two of the building’s fire alarm system
upgrades. The tentative agreement between the Fire Department and Birch Manor would incorporate the
CDBG grant funding for four building fire alarm system upgrades. The remaining four upgrades would be the
responsibility of the condominium association (proposed completion date of 2021).
Proposal
Birch Manor Association contacted four fire alarm contractors who had done previous multifamily fire alarm
upgrades to obtain proposals. Three fire alarm contractors submitted preliminary fire alarm proposals in 2017.
Contactors provided updated proposals in May of 2018 to incorporate U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) requirements. The proposals are listed below.

Discussion
The Fire Department has reviewed each proposal and they are comparable to each other. The Fire Department
would recommend the lowest cost contract for the building fire alarm upgrade. All proposals do not include the
installation of radio monitoring for the fire alarm system. This cost would need to be absorbed by the
condominium association. The Fire Department contacted Top to Bottom Installations to ensure that they
could comply with the prevailing wages of the David Bacon Act. The contractor indicated that they would
comply with the prevailing wages act (Federal and State). The rate has also been established in the proposed
contract. Time is of the essence for this project as it must be completed by July 15, 2018 to meet CBDG
funding requirements.
Alternatives
1. Accept lowest cost proposal for the installation of fire alarm systems for two buildings.
2. Action at discretion of Village Board.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Village Board accept the lowest cost, responsive proposal from Top to Bottom
Installations for the 2017 CDBG Birch Manor Fire Alarm System Contract in an amount not to exceed $53,000.
Staff will ensure that the fire alarm system is designed in accordance with fire alarm standards and the Life
Safety Code.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: JANET SAEWERT CDBG COORDINATOR
FROM: BRYAN LOOMIS ASSISTANT FIRE CHIEF
DATE: APRIL 6, 2017
SUBJECT: BIRCH MANOR CONDOMINIUMS FIRE ALARM PROJECT
Illustrated below are the requirements for a fire alarm system for Birch Manor Condominiums.
There are currently eight buildings located in the complex. Each building has 36 units with a
common basement. The State of Illinois has adopted the Life Safety Code (LSC), 2000 Edition, as
a minimum standard that all fire departments and municipalities must comply with. This code
is valid for existing and new buildings.
C ondominium buildings with greater than three units are defined as apartment buildings
according to the Life Safety Code (LSC). LSC S Apartment buildings with
more than three stories or with more than 11 dwelling units shall be provided with a fire alarm system
in accordance with section 9.6, except as modified by 31.3.4.2 through 31.3.4.5. Section 31.1.1 allows
four options for apartment buildings in regards to fire alarm requirements. At a minimum,
option one requires a fire alarm system, with manual pull station and notification devices.
Based on a review of the building(s) this would be the minimum requirement (Option 1).
The International Fire Code (IFC), 2012 Edition, Existing Building Section A
manual fire alarm system that activates the occupant notification system in accordance with section 907.5
shall be installed in all existing Group R-2 (condominium buildings) occupancies with more than three
stories in height or with more than 16 dwelling units or sleeping units This section would apply to
the Birch Manor building(s) and would at a minimum require a fire alarm system, manual pull
stations, smoke detection and notification devices. The IFC is formally adopted by the Village of
Mount Prospect under section 24.102A of the Mount Prospect Fire Prevention Code.
Based on the review of these buildings, they do not meet fire code requirements and pose a life
safety risk. As a result of these factors, the Fire Department is requiring the building owner to
install a fire alarm system for these buildings to ensure they are code compliant.
The project would consist of a fire alarm system installation for each building to include the IFC
required smoke detection in the general areas of the building. The building
owner/management has reached out to a fire alarm contactor to establish a cost for installing
the fire alarm system.
The submitted pricing ranges from $24,000 to approximately $50,000 dollars per building to
install the fire alarm system with the required smoke detection. Based on this cost, I recommend
requesting $112,000 in grant funding ($28,000 per building) to assist with the costs for a fire
alarm installation in four of the eight buildings the property has.
It is my recommendation to split the grant in half over the course of two (2) years. I recommend
requesting $56,000 in 2017 to assist with the cost of two buildings and the remaining $56,000 in
2018 for the other two buildings. The condominium association would be responsible for the
installation of the fire alarm system in the four remaining buildings based on a time frame
agreed upon by the Fire Department and the Village of Mount Prospect.
CDBG funding.
Thank you.
