The Compliance Engine is a management tool for Life Safety Inspections. It manages reports given by
contractors on Life Safety Inspection issues such as fire extinguishers, fire sprinkler systems, fire alarms,
commercial hood extinguishing systems, and fire pumps.
The Compliance Engine (TCE) is a web-based system connecting Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ),
commercial entities, and third party inspection companies delivering fire and life safety inspection reports in a
completely streamlined and efficient manner.
El COMPLIANT. TCE affords AHJs a platform to realize 100% compliance with adopted fire and life safety
codes.
fl PRODUCTIVE. In a time of constrained budgets, TCE will afford AHJs the ability to focus on deficient
buildings, reducing administrative work and improving utilization of fire department manpower.
fl SIMPLE. All with a click you receive a profile of your jurisdiction's life safety apparatuses by premise,
readable uniform reports sorted compliant or deficient, automated notification letters and deficiency
tracking affording you time to achieve your goals of a safer community.
The contractor's will be charged $10.00 annually for inspection reports per address. Example: Fire Alarm
Report, Fire Sprinkler System Reports, Fire Pump Reports, and Commercial Hood Extinguishing Systems.
The Compliance Engine has been in use for 2 1/2 years and is being used in 7 states. Martin County FL was
the first county in FL to adopt the use of the Compliance Engine. Martin County has gone through legal and
also requests for proposals for similar products before choosing the Compliance Engine. The contract
between Martin County and Brycer was finalized on January 7th, 2013 and final implementation for all
contractors to report to the new system was put in place May 1st, 2013. Many of the contractors serving Martin
County also serve Okeechobee County. Okeechobee County and City of Okeechobee Jurisdictions have been
in communication with Brycer for more than a year looking into the benefits of the system to our community.
As inspections are completed by the certified fire protection contractors Okeechobee City Fire Department will
be advised electronically of the businesses that are deficient and those who are in compliance with state and
local fire safety regulations. When a local business is deficient, notification will make it faster and easier for us
to have the deficiency addressed and corrected.
Should the board approve entering into this agreement, we will need to prepare a resolution for adoption at a
later meeting that will formally enact use of The Compliance Engine. Staff will have some preliminary work
prior to approval of the resolution in order to formally engage The Compliance Engine.
Staff would recommend approval of the contract agreement with Brycer LLC-The Compliance Engine using
Martin County's bid process and agreement as our purchasing bases; subject to approval by the City Attorney.
Respectively,

Ft.Statutes state the owner of any building with fire protection systems including fire extinguishers shall be maintained and certified by a fire _
protection contractor approved by the state. Fire protection contractor can be any company recognized by the state such as a Fire Alarm,Fire Sprinkler,
Fire Extinguisher,etc. It is the responsibility of the bldg./business owner to contact the company for maintenance and certifications.
BUSINESS OWNER 4
CITY OF OKEECHOBEE FIRE CONTRACTORS RESPONSIBILITY
FIRE CONTRACTOR They are required to execute the essential maintenance/repairs on the fire systems or
: devices with the consent of the business/bldg.owner. They are obligated to notify the
i:
local(AHJ)Fire Chief/Marshal to report systems status and identify any deficiencies with
these life safety items.
i
Local A1-11 receives the notification. Presently,the A11.1 receives hard copies of the fire contractor's reports as well as on CD/DVD. The
present process is not efficient and timely due to many reasons.There is no accountability that all
systems and/or devices have been properly maintained/repaired/recertified due to the multiple fire
contractors,no way to know who works on what without physically sending a City Fire Inspector to
each business that can be multiple times annually based on their particular fire protection. OFD does
not have the manpower to ensure and inspect all the businesses throughout the year. OFD targets
the"high hazard"occupancies first based on the highest impact of danger to owners and citizens each
year.
ITHE COMPLIANCE ENGINE(ICE) 14
The proposed use of a third party entityJTCE)to retain records and send out deficiency letters
will enhance our inspection process and allow more efficient use of manpower and cover
more business inspections per year at no cost to City of Okeechobee Fire Department.
Private(third party)web based company that has a contract established with the local AHJ which causes any fire protection
contractor that enters the city limits and"touches"the fire protection system or devices shall be registered with TCE. This
establishes a more proficient process to ensure required fire protection systems including fire extinguishers are being correctly
maintained and certified per Florida Statues for the protection of the citizens.
