Title
A Resolution to Approve Additional Application Costs Related to COVID-19 HMGP Grant Project
Summary
The City of Foley received approval on RES 21-1461 to apply for the Hazard Mitigation Grant Project in order to strengthen Fire Station #1. Pre-Application expenses were previously approved on RES 22-1080 for a total of $20,000 ($10,000 for engineering services & $10,000 for HMGP application assistance). The HMGP consultant (Synergy) is requesting to amend the original agreement with a total not to exceed amount of $15,000. This requested increase is due to an increase in scope, cost and engineering design to the project was received days prior to and following the grant application due date. This required additional effort by the Consultant to modify and submit the final draft of the HMGP application and backup documentation (including a detailed benefit cost assessment). Additional funds will also be used to assist the City in responding to any Requests For Information (RFIs) received from Alabama EMA and/or FEMA.
