RECOMMENDATION: |
Recommendation Concerning the Authorization for Expenditures in Excess of $100,000 in Fiscal Year 2013-2014 for the Public Safety Department - Michael D. Weaver, Public Safety Department Director
That the Board authorize the issuance of a Purchase Order, in the amount of $100,000, for Fiscal Year 2013-2014, for the Public Safety Department, to Complete Construction, LLC, D/B/A Complete DKI, Vendor Number 165044, for flood mitigation at the fire stations that were damaged by flooding.
[Funding: Fund 112, Disaster Recovery Fund, Cost Center 330494, Buildings and Contents, Object Code 54601, Repair and Maintenance] |
BACKGROUND: |
During the rain event of April 29 2014, three of the fire stations and one maintenance facility were flooded; Station 6,16, 17 and the facility at 4700 Maywood Ave. (the old Bellview fire station). These buildings are insured separately from the County insurance program. On May 5th and 6th, an adjuster for the insurance company examined the four sites. Following his evaluation he advised that because these facilities are continually occupied by firefighters, are essential to the public safety and must remain in operation, it was necessary to begin water and mold mitigation as soon as possible. CompleteDKI was available to respond. They worked directly with the insurance adjuster, who agreed to work with them on a "'Time and Material" basis to perform the mitigation. CompleteDKI went into action that very night to make sure the fire stations would be safe environments for the firefighters. The work should be complete within the next 2-3 weeks. |
BUDGETARY IMPACT: |
The insurance company will reimburse the County for the entire cost, less the deductible of $1,000 for each building. An advance of $50,000 has already been received and deposited. the remaining balance will be sent once the work is complete and the final cost is known. We will petition FEMA for the deductible.
