Summary:

ORDINANCE appropriating $721,000.00 out of Fire Consolidated Construction Fund to In-House Renovation Revolving Fund to address Facility Condition Assessment Priority 1 & 2 Deficiencies during FY2016 for the Houston Fire Department - DISTRICTS A - STARDIG; B - DAVIS; C - COHEN; D - BOYKINS; E - MARTIN; F - LE; G - TRAVIS; I - GALLEGOS; J - LASTER and K - GREEN

Background:

SPECIFIC EXPLANATION: In 2013, Parsons Commercial Technology Group, Inc. conducted a comprehensive FCA on 421 City facilities, which identified and prioritized building deficiencies.  The FY2014-2018 Capital Improvement Plan includes the most critical repairs identified in the FCA report as Priority 1 & 2 deficiencies.

 

These deficiencies require immediate attention because they have created, or will soon create, conditions that are safety hazards, are in extreme or accelerated deterioration, or can result in failing and interrupted operations.  The General Services Department (GSD) recommends that City Council appropriate $721,000.00 out of the Fire Consolidated Construction Fund to the In-House Renovation Revolving Fund to address the FCA Priority 1 & 2 deficiencies for the HFD facilities listed below.

 

GSD’s In-House Renovation Group provides labor and expertise required to address serious maintenance deficiencies by performing capital improvements to city facilities and emergency repairs affecting life safety issues.

 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:  FCA repairs generally include electrical, plumbing and concrete repairs. Electrical work is primarily lighting and electrical transformer testing. Plumbing work consists of back flow preventor and hot water circulating pump replacements. Concrete repairs include parking and sidewalk repairs.

 

PROJECT LOCATIONS: The FY2016 FCA Priority 1 & 2 deficiencies projects are as follows:
