| Title 26. Authorize the City Manager to Execute a Contract for a Disaster Recovery Base and Support Services with Ashbritt (Primary), MLU Services (Secondary), and USA Upstar (Tertiary) in an Amount that Will Vary Based on the Severity of the Natural Disaster. (Emergency Management) | |
| Strategic Priority GOAL 1: Increase Public Safety and Our Collective Sense of Security | |
| Description This is for an annual contract with Ashbritt (Primary), MLU Services (Secondary), and USA Upstar (Tertiary) in an amount that will vary based on the severity of the natural disaster. Pre-existing agreements for resources in a disaster help to ensure the timely provision of services from reliable sources. Critical Workforce personnel are required to respond to and work disasters, particularly at a time when residents and businesses are evacuating. Depending on the severity of the storm, there could be damages to City offices, employee homes and local businesses. An incident base is meant to serve as a temporary point of logistics until City facilities and homes can be re-occupied. The impact of this contract is adding to the City’s resource management network and enabling us to house, feed and provide office space for employees during and after a major disaster. A portion of these expenses may be reimbursable by FEMA only if there is a Presidential Disaster Declaration. The bid was advertised, opened, and reviewed. The contract term expires on November 25, 2026. This contract also includes 4 available annual renewal options. Delivery: As needed. Terms: Net 30 days.
