Approval of Modification # 6 to Florida Division of Emergency Management Contract # 14HM-2Y-66-02-144 to extend the Period of Performance from February 1, 2015 to August 1, 2015.

The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) granted the City of Fort Pierce funding to retro-fit several buildings to reduce and/or mitigate the damage that might otherwise occur from severe weather hazards.  During an Interim Inspection performed by FDEM on all buildings that were retro-fitted, garage doors on some of the Public Works Compound buildings did not meet Florida Code or Miami Dade Specifications for wind and impact standards as required in the grant.  In order to be compliant, the garage doors on three buildings require replacement:  Streets and Drainage, Administration/Garage, and Solid Waste Operations.  A time extension was requested and then approved by FDEM.  Grant funds remaining are $118,880.63 which will be used for purchase and installation of the doors. There is $13,129.05 remaining in administrative funds to continue grant administration.

Upon approval as to form and correctness by the City Attorney, approve Modification # 6 to extend the Period of Performance to August 1, 2015.
