During the term of this agreement, the County realized savings of nearly $30,000 In negotiations <br />for next year's agreement, FP&L Representative Peter Bailey has recommended that Indian River <br />County use the surplus funds to purchase certain radiological monitoring instrumentation consistent <br />with equipment used by other counties having responsibilities to the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant. <br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: <br />Indian River County has nearly $30,000 in unallocated radiological preparedness grant funds. FP&L <br />emergency planners agree that approximately 100,000 persons could be evacuated through Indian <br />River County in the event of an accident at the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant and they further <br />recognize that the monitoring equipment we have is dated and deteriorating In fact, much of our <br />monitoring equipment is "Cold War" surplus equipment. <br />FP&L has agreed (see attachment) to utilize these excess funds for replacement monitoring <br />equipment. As a condition of the capital purchases, FP&L has provided specific vendors and <br />equipment these funds can be used for. The requested capital purchases include: <br />1. Two (2) Ludlum Model 52-1 Portable Portal Monitors, with case $18,000 <br />2. Twenty-four (24) Ludlum Model 44-9y Pancake Probes 4,560 <br />3. Forty (40) Arrow -Tech 0-500mr CDV-139 Dosimeters 2,400 <br />Total $24,960 <br />FP&L has provided similar monitoring equipment to the risk counties (St. Lucie and Martin) and <br />prefers to maintain uniformity in make and model to the host counties. The alternative is to return <br />the excess funds to FP&L and purchase comparable equipment from local funds as our monitoring <br />equipment becomes inoperable <br />RECOM1MIENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board approve the purchase of the capital equipment noted above from <br />unallocated funds from the FY -2000/01 and FY -20001/02 Radiological Emergency Preparedness <br />Agreement Staff also requests to sole source purchase the equipment from the vendors selected by <br />FP&L. <br />JULY 16, 2002 <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Ginn, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Tippin, the Board unanimously <br />approved the purchase of the capital equipment from <br />unallocated funds from the FY 2000-01 and FY <br />2001-02 Radiological Emergency Preparedness <br />Agreement and authorized staff to sole source <br />purchase the equipment from the vendors selected <br />by FP&L (Arrow -Tech and Pulcir, Inc.), as <br />recommended by staff. <br />-83- <br />• <br />
