McDaniel, City Manager Date: September 22, 2020 Initiated By: Dana L. McDaniel Summary Memo Re: Resolution 50-20, authorizing the City Manager to enter into an Agreement with Dublin Development, LLC. to conduct training and remove structures on Monterey Drive As a result of discussions with the property owners of the abandoned duplexes on Monterey Drive, staff has secured a unique opportunity to provide valuable training opportunities to both Washington Township Fire/EMS and Dublin Police. Fire/EMS and Police use such abandoned properties to conduct various realistic training exercises for firefighters, EMS personnel and police officers. Using such properties is a rare opportunity and adds to our ability to effectively train and develop various skills, as well as, practice with equipment. Such training may include but not necessarily be limited to fire entry, containment and firefighting techniques; evacuation of patients; controlled entry, active shooter and room clearing training. This may also provide a unique joint training opportunity between Fire/EMS and Police. The property owner has agreed to allow the City and Washington Township to conduct such training in exchange for the City being responsible for the permitting, oversight and costs associated with the demolition of the structures, removal of the structures' debris and necessary site restoration. The attached Agreement between Dublin Development, LLC, City of Dublin and Washington Township provides the terms of this arrangement. At this time, bid estimates received are right at the bid threshold limit of $75,000. Staff requests competitive bidding be waived for this project as a competitive bid process will not yield any lower cost than the competitive quotes already obtained and these costs may ultimately be at or only slightly above the bidding threshold. Training the City and Township's first responders is in direct support of the City's highest priority to protect the public safety. Additionally, neighbors and the community as a whole will likely appreciate the removal of these unsightly structures. Per the Agreement, these structures are to be removed by December 1, 2020. Recommendation Staff recommends Council pass Resolution 50-20 creating a valuable training experience for first responders while also eliminating abandoned structures. Please contact Dana McDaniel with any questions you may have.
