Explanation

Background: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into two contracts for the Facilities Management Division related to the remediation of a mold problem at 657 South Ohio Avenue. This building is the former home of the Police Athletic League. Currently, the City is in serious negotiations to sell the building. Mold is present in various parts of the building, including the gymnasium. The first contract will be for an environmental remediation company that will be tasked with removing all mold. The second contract will be with a construction company to correct any plumbing problems and repairing any damaged walls so that the problem is permanently corrected.

On June 14, 2006 a Mayor's Emergency was declared. It was determined it was immediately necessary to begin remediating the mold problem in order to avoid more serious health and safety concerns. Formal competitive bidding requirements were waived. Two proposals were solicited for the environmental remediation contract. Air Technologies, Inc. was selected. Bomar Construction (FBE) 2K General Company, Inc. was selected for the construction contract based on its successful work with the City in the past.

The total amount of these contracts is not to exceed $19,000.00. The funding amount necessary for each vendor is yet to be determined. This ordinance also authorizes the transfer of funds and an appropriation of funds in the General Permanent Improvement Fund.

Emergency action is requested in order to reimburse Air Technologies, Inc. and Bomar Construction Co. 2K General Company, Inc. for costs incurred in the remediation of the mold problem at 657 South Ohio Avenue.

Fiscal Impact: Funds are available within the General Permanent Improvement Fund. This legislation transfers $19,000.00 from the Unallocated Balance Project to the Facility Renovation Project. Air Technologies, Inc. Contract Compliance Number 31-0655871, expiration 09/27/2007. Boma...
