Richmond Board of Works approves sole‑source contract to repair live‑burn chamber roof
Summary
The Board approved contract 52‑2026 with Reeves Manufacturing to weld channels and replace metal plates on the live‑burn chamber roof at the EZZI Element Police and Fire Training Center so future plate replacements can be done in‑house.
The City of Richmond Board of Works approved contract 52‑2026 with Reeves Manufacturing to repair the roof of the live‑burn chamber at the EZZI Element Police and Fire Training Center.
A staff presenter explained the roof has degraded from years of live burns; Reeves Manufacturing will weld channels and install replacement metal so that, if plates degrade in the future, the city can remove and replace them without custom work. The contract was described as a sole‑source arrangement to address the specialized nature of the chamber roof.
The Board approved the contract by voice vote. Assistant Chief Clark was acknowledged during the item; the minutes do not record additional comment from the fire department during the presentation. The minutes identify the location as the "EZZI Element Police and Fire Training Center" as written in the record.
