Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Palmetto Construction Services, LLC. for the partial renovation of 1120 Morse Road. Renovation of the facility is necessary to accommodate the relocation of Police Substation No. 18 from 4560 Karl Road to 1120 Morse Road.
The Division of Police has a need to relocate Precinct 18 from 4560 Karl Road to 1120 Morse Road, due to site and parking restrictions made necessary by the redevelopment of adjacent private property. However, the move does alleviate crowding for the Precinct at its current location. Renovation of 1120 Morse Road is possible because it is not completely occupied, but with this move it will be fully occupied.
