TO: Charles P. Balczun, <br />County Administrator <br />FROM: James W. Davis, P.E. <br />Public Works Director <br />SUBJECT: Fire Extinguishing System and Aluminum Roofing <br />for Fleet Management Gas Pumps <br />REF. MEMO: James Davis to Jack McCorkle dated Dec. 22, 1988 <br />DATE: March 23, 1988 <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The South County Fire District has informed the Public Works <br />Department that a chemical fire extinguishing system is required <br />for each of the three gas pump islands at the Fleet Management <br />Division (4625 South Gifford Road). The estimated cost for the <br />three systems is $5,500. <br />In addition, the County staff recommends that an aluminum roof <br />structure (24' x 84') be constructed to protect the fire <br />extinguishing systems and gas pumps from direct exposure to the <br />weather. The cost estimate for the roofing is $30,000. <br />The above items were requested during the FY1987/88 budget <br />session, however, they were not approved. Funds are not <br />available in the Fleet Management Budget. <br />ALTERNATIVE AND ANALYSIS <br />The following alternatives are presented: <br />Alternative No. 1 <br />Funds are available in the Federal Revenue Sharing Fund <br />102-000-389-040.00 (balance as of March 18, 1988 is <br />$224,461). Bidding documents are essentially complete and <br />staff could bid this item immediately. <br />Alternative No. 2 <br />Delay this construction until FY88/89. In speaking with Bob <br />Hunt, South County Fire District Inspector, the State Fire <br />Code requires the extinguishing systems, and they should be <br />installed as soon as possible. <br />Alternative No. 3 <br />Deny funds to construct the roofing, but proceed to install <br />the fire extinguishing system. if this alternative is <br />approved, the maintenance on the system will intensify. <br />RECOMMENDATION AND FUNDING <br />It is recommended that the Board authorize staff to advertise for <br />bids for both the fire extinguishing• system and roofing. Once <br />bids are received, staff will recommend action and funding. <br />Funding is anticipated from Federal Revenue Sharing Fund 102. <br />Chairman Scurlock favored purchasing the fire protection <br />equipment, but not the roof. He suggested that the roof be put <br />in next year's budget. <br />APR 5 1988 <br />57 <br />ROOK <br />7.1 F1GE487 <br />
