Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Elford, Inc. for the renovation the turn-out gear laundry facility from Greenlawn Avenue to the Fire Training Academy on Parsons Avenue. The current turn-out gear laundry facility is located at 270 Greenlawn Avenue. However, the building is being vacated and the boilers are nearly inoperable, making it very difficult and expensive to heat the building. Moving the turn-out gear laundry facility will completely vacate 270 Greenlawn Avenue, which at one time housed fleet maintenance services, Fire air breathing apparatus operations, and some Fire maintenance liaison staff.

The work shall include: extension and connection to existing utilities, concrete foundations and equipment curbs, cold formed metal framing, carpentry, millwork, building insulation, sheet metal flashing, hollow metal doors and frames, hardware, exterior metal siding modifications, interior finishes, plumbing, furniture, fixtures and equipment, lockers, HVAC system, electrical, communications, data and security systems, and removal, moving, set-up, and commissioning of existing laundry equipment.
