Town seeks $686,000 extension for FEMA project work, says most earlier funds reimbursed
Summary
Staff recommended extending an engineering contract to cover additional FEMA determinations and included a $100,000 RFI allowance; the proposed extension would add $486,300 in scope for a $686,000 total, and staff said prior obligations of about $23 million have been secured on smaller projects with $114 million of larger project estimates outstanding.
Staff reviewed FEMA-related contract work and the town's broader recovery portfolio. The original contract was set at $220,000 and staff said much of that has been reimbursed; staff described additional work that would cost $486,300 and an RFI (request for information) allowance of $100,000, explaining: "So we built in a $100,000 RFI on there... So the total extended contract amount for this is 686,000."
Staff emphasized that engineering invoices for these tasks are meant to be submitted to FEMA for reimbursement and are not intended to be charged to the town's general fund. They also summarized the broader recovery effort, saying the town has obligated about $23,000,000 to date on smaller projects and is pursuing engineering estimates totaling roughly $114,000,000 for several larger projects (for example, Riverside Park, River Bend Park, a pedestrian bridge and the wastewater treatment plant). No final adoption of the extension is recorded in the provided segments.
