ISSUE/BACKGROUND:

body

The Napoleon Avenue Facility is a historic building that was built in 1892 as a power station for the historic St. Charles Streetcar Line. It was later used as a training and storage facility. In 2005 the building was severely damaged during Hurricane Katrina, which triggered the need to plan for repairs and renovation of the facility. This project is to bring the building to a warm, safe dry status, limited to structural, mechanical, and electrical services to prevent further damage and degradation. This project has been closely coordinated with FTA, SHPO and FEMA.

end

DISCUSSION:

An engineering package which details the scope of work has been completed by Landmark Consulting. The drawings and specifications were the documents provided to potential bidders by way of the RTA ProcureWare System. The funding available will be sufficient for items designated as base bid and alternate 1 as per the Engineering Package.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The construction funding is being made available by the following sources:

LA04-0038 in the amount of $2,121,152.00, FEMA PW #4159 in the amount of $686,117.00 and 2022 fiscal year local budget in the amount of $1,605,277.20. The local funding to be placed in the 2022 budget as the entire amount will not be spent in 2021. Total from all three sources is $4,412,546.20.
