Mount Pearl council last week voted to extend the City’s locksmith services contract with Armour Lock and Security Systems for an additional year in the amount of $46,934, HST included.
Council awarded the contract in May 2022, for the same annual amount for the period of July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025.
Services covered by the contract include repair and replacement of locks, automatic door openers, card access systems, doors and frames.
“I was in conversation today with Matthew Jones, our manager of facilities, and he certainly recommended this company,” said councillor Bill Antle. “They treat us really, really well. He said he picks up the phone, gives them a call, and they show up immediately, and that speaks for itself.”
The extension will respect the terms and conditions of the existing contract.
Mayor Dave Aker noted that, despite inflation, the annual cost will remain the same as when the contract was first inked three years ago.
