ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
The Board previously approved a contract in the amount $109,200.00 for the period of January 2022 through March 2023 at their December 14, 2021 meeting. Additionally, staff entered a requisition in the amount of $20,000 to cover crowd control training and staffing for November and December of 2021.
In accordance with the State Fire Marshall's guidelines for crowd control, a person is required to be present when there are more than 50 persons onboard the ferry barge at Canal Street Terminal. Crowd control is only required at the temporary facility because there is no secondary egress.
end
DISCUSSION:
The ratification is requested in an abundance of caution and to avoid any appearance of a split procurement.
Twenty-Five crew members are being trained by an approved State Fire Marshall online course which the certificate is valid for 2 years. The cost of the additional deck hand required for crowd control is ~$240.00 per day or an average of $7280.00 per month. The projected timeline is November 2021 through March 2023.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The project is funded through grant number LA95006.1047.123405 in the amount of $129,200.00.
NEXT STEPS:
UPON RTA Board approval, staff will issue a Notice to Proceed (NTP) on training to LabMar.
