Agenda Title:

Authorize Mayor and Finance Officer to Sign Resolution 2014-059 A Resolution to Declare an Emergency and Authorize Repairs to the Roof of Fire Station 6 (1930 Promise Road)

Summary:

This item was added to the Council agenda as the situation is becoming urgent.  The Council was asked to terminate the contract for poor performance by the contractor. (March 3, 2014 Council meeting).  After notice and the required time for termination to be effective, the City is now left with an unfinished project.  While there had been some interior damage during the course of the project, it was initially believed that the roof had been “sealed” or water-tight.  That appears to not be the case, and quick action is needed to prevent further interior damage.  Also, perhaps more importantly, several firefighters occupy the station during their shifts, including fire and ambulance crews and the fire prevention division staff. The emergency resolution will allow the public works department to act more quickly than the competitive bidding process allows.  They will be authorized to make necessary repairs to protect persons and property from further damage.

Funding Source & Fiscal Impact (if applicable):

The City will have to pay for repairs upfront, which should ultimately be reimbursed from the contractor’s bond.
