A local High School’s fire alarm system was struck by lighting and damaged beyond repair. The school was ordered to do a fire watch by the Fire Marshal while school was in session and ordered to have the fire alarm system replaced within a week. The school turned to the company that did annual testing and maintenance of the school’s fire alarm system and had them install the new fire alarm system without getting another quote from a different fire alarm company.
The school could have saved thousands of dollars by using Molnar & Associates to obtain a competitive quote from three different fire alarm installers. In addition, a true cost including permits and other hidden charges would be brought to the attention of the school’s administrators before any contracts were signed.
Local High School,
