AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Ratification of approval for an emergency purchase

ITEM BACKGROUND: On Tuesday, December 21,1999 we were notified that a
section of the fender system below the Garrison Bight Bridge, on Palm Avenue, had
failed and was leaning into the channel. Emergency action was needed to prevent it
from completely falling over and blocking the channel. An emergency purchase order
was approved by the County Administrator and Toppino's Inc. responded immediately
by stabilizing the wood structure with cable. The wood fender system will be removed
under this purchase order. The purpose of the fender system is to protect the bridge
pilings from getting hit by errant marine vessels. A new fender system will be designed
to replace this one.

RE: Emergency Purchase Order
Garrison Bight Bridge
On Tuesday, December 21, 1999 we were notified that the fender system below Garrison Bight
Bridge had failed and is falling into the channel. It is listing about 30 degrees and is getting worse
quickly. We need to take emergency action as this poses a hazard to the public, particularly
mariners who use the channel.
We have notified the Coast Guard of the situation. We have asked FDOT if they would help us,
but they do not have the forces to do so. We then contacted Toppino's Inc. and met Frank
Toppino on-site within 30 minutes of our phone call to assess the situation and obtain a price to
do the work. His quote to remove and dispose of the wood fender is $27,900. After discussing
the matter with Mr. Roberts, John Carter, and Rob Wolfe, we all agreed that this is an emergency
and we should proceed. The BOCC will be informed at their next regular meeting and ratification ~
of our actions will be sought. Toppino's was contacted at 3:15 p.m., Wednesday, December 22,
1999 and will have a crew on-site in the morning to secure the fender system.
Please advise if this is acceptable, and if an emergency purchase order can be issued.
