A final cost proposal now is required (sealed and signed by the County Engineer) <br />so that FEMA can begin the alternate project process. The Director has used <br />this process in previous flooding events with FEMA. We propose negotiating a <br />final settlement value and applying the money towards the acquisition of <br />equipment (this is easiest for FEMA). Public Works has identified two primary <br />equipment needs: midsize trackhoe and survey truck. The existing survey truck <br />does not meet our current need. We do not have a trackhoe of the size routinely <br />needed by Public Works (we are constantly renting). The cost of the midsize <br />trackhoe and survey truck is approximately $400,000. Once final FEMA <br />settlement value is defined, Public Works may be able to add additional <br />equipment to the request. <br />FISCAL IMPACTS: <br />The Road Fund must purchase new equipment and then place it into ER&R <br />(equipment rental and replacement fund). All money spent will be repaid to the <br />fund once FEMA provides alternate project funding. <br />The estimated cost of the midsize trackhoe is $350,000. The survey truck cost is <br />estimated at $35,000. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />EXHIBIT 1: Preliminary Cost Estimate to FEMA <br />Page 2 of 2 <br />PUBLIC WORKS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />
