ORDINANCE NO. 176629

* Authorize a contract and provide for payment for the renovation and remodel of Fire Stations 5, 13, and 42 (Ordinance)

The City of Portland ordains:

Section 1.  The Council finds:

1.  On November 7, 1998 the citizens of Portland authorized the sale of general obligation bonds for a $61.1 million program to improve city emergency services. Included in the bond was the construction of new fire stations.

2.  When completed the stations will house three fire companies and their vehicles (one double company at station 13 and two single companies at stations 5 and 42).

3.  The renovation and remodel of the stations is estimated to be $2,049,602. The construction estimate is within the program budget for the stations.

4.  The design is complete and the construction documents are being prepared to go out to public bid.

NOW THEREFORE, the Council directs:

a.  The Mayor and the Auditor are hereby authorized to execute a contract with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the renovation and remodel of Fire Stations 5. 13, and 42, in accordance with the plans and specifications to be filed with the Purchasing Agent.

b.  The Mayor and the Auditor hereby are authorized to draw and deliver check(s) chargeable to the 2002-2003 Fire and Rescue Facilities GO Bond Construction Fund budget, when demand is presented and approved by the proper authorities.

Section 2.  

The Council declares that an emergency exists because a delay may result in additional expense, and will unnecessarily deprive the City of the benefits of completion of the contract at an early date; therefore this ordinance shall be in force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.
