RECOMMENDATION: Appropriate funds for issuance of a purchase order for structural services for Kashmere Gardens Neighborhood Library.
SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: On August 26, 2017, flood waters from Hurricane Harvey inundated Kashmere Gardens Neighborhood Library, causing extensive damage. After the initial damage assessment, additional water infiltration through the foundation was discovered. A structural assessment is necessary to determine the source of the infiltration and the corrective actions required. Therefore, the General Services Department recommends that City Council appropriate $30,000 for the issuance of a purchase order.
