That the City Council:

Body
ANALYSIS:
On September 24, 2019 the firefighters at Station #1 reported to the Maintenance Services Department (MSD) that a water leak had occurred due to a leaking water pipe connecting the washing machine. The water damage exposed substantial mold throughout the wall in the laundry space and the bathroom which shares the wall. The extensive mold required removal of all the bathroom sinks and two wall urinals. Since this is a facility housing emergency personnel who operate twenty-four-hour shifts, the mold remediation is a top priority.
To properly complete this emergency project, it was necessary to have a portable shower and restroom located on site to allow for the continuous operations of this facility.
Presented below is a spreadsheet of the estimated costs for this project:
