8. F <br />Office Of Consent Agenda 12/03/2019 <br />Dylan Reingold, County Attorney <br />William K. DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney <br />Susan J.. Prado, Assistant county Attorney <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: The Board of County Commissioners <br />ATTORNEY <br />FROM: William K. DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney <br />DATE: November 20, 2019 <br />SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement with School Board for Maintenance of Special <br />Needs Shelter Generator at Treasure Coast Elementary School <br />In 2006, the School Board and the County cooperatively applied for and obtained a State <br />Grant for an emergency generator and such other equipment necessary to support the <br />generator to provide emergency electrical service for a special needs shelter. The grant <br />was managed by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. The generator was <br />installed at the County's special needs shelter, Treasure Coast Elementary School, on <br />County Road 510 in Sebastian. <br />The 1,000 KW diesel generator is of a size and capacity to supply power to the entire <br />school building in case of a power outage, including the air conditioning and any other <br />medical equipment required by the special needs shelters' inhabitants. Normally, the <br />School Board will install a much smaller generator at a school site that will operate the <br />emergency lighting at the school during a power failure. This large generator requires <br />monthly testing and maintenance, including replacing the diesel fuel on an annual basis. <br />The State was responsible for the maintenance and repair of the generator equipment <br />until February 7, 2013, at which time the warranty period expired and the County and <br />School Board became responsible for the maintenance and have shared equally in these <br />costs. <br />In the fall of 2018, the fuel tank on the generator at Treasure Coast Elementary leaked, <br />prompting an extensive fuel clean-up and replacement of the -fuel tank on a temporary <br />and permanent basis. The cost of the repairs and fuel spill clean-up was $88,426.00 and <br />the County's 50% share of this expense of $44,213.00 was approved by the Board at its <br />meeting of August 13, 2019. The parties decided it would be proper to set forth the School <br />Board's and the County's responsibilities for the generator both now and into the future. <br />117, <br />
