MOST WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS TO OR FROM THE COUNTY REGARDING COUNTY BUSINESS ARE PUBLIC RECORDS AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC AND MEDIA UPON REQUEST. YOUR FLAIL COMMUNICATION MAY BE .SUBJE TO PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. From: Ambrosio -Chris Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2017 5:21 PM To: Knight -Cary Cc: Slavik -Maria Subject: County Buildings Mold and Air quality testing and remediation emergency work Ca ry: We discussed the tested and reported elevated mold, bacteria, air quality problems and property damages resulting from hurricane water intrusion at the MCSO Admin. Bldg. This building is occupied by +/- 60 employees. We discussed the hazardous environmental impact in the structure, the health hazard impact it has caused some employees, and the steps of testing taken that were necessary to determine the air quality and mold conditions. Due to the documented compromised air quality of the MCSO facility, time is of the essence and any delay would potentially impact the health and safety of the individuals working in the facility and reduce an ability to remediate the area or prevent further issues or damages. There are approximately 20 other County buildings most with employees working in them for the past 5 -6 weeks with similar environmental conditions and damages, as found in tests and inspections of the MCSO building, that require immediate testing in light of the extensive intrusion and mold conditions that have been observed and reported. 1� This event for each facility falls within the County policy and code as an unexpected and unforeseen emergency circumstance and as a circumstance where there is a danger for health, safety, and welfare of employees and (possible additional loss of property) that requires immediate action (and if the condition is not immediately remedied, where there is a danger of loss of valuable public property, and interruption of services, that requires immediate government action.) The public emergency for the requirements will not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation. The proposed cost of testing of the facilities (which you said you expect to be greater than $50,000) are a legitimate and valid emergency purchase that may be approved by the Mayor, or if the Mayor is not available then the Mayor Pro Tem, or if the Mayor and the Mayor Pro Tern are not available then County Commissioners in order of priority based on longest consecutive tenure on the Board of County Commission, but the purchase must be ratified after - the -fact by the Board at the next practicable meeting of the BOCC. You advised me that you would still be able to seek 3 proposals which would satisfy the purchasing policy and FEMA PA regulations. See Purchasing Policy Ch. 7 B. Emergency Purchases and MCC 2- 347(k) if you need to read the policy and code. As we discussed, these damages conditions and purchase may likely fit into the exigent condition category for public assistance reimbursement grant requirements. Keep well documented history of events and processes that you have followed, that have taken place and will take place. Please keep Maria Slavik in the loop as it applies to the project, structure, testing results, employees and insurance.
