Fiscal Note
The cost for the safe room construction project is estimated to be $1,568,210, of which $1,176,158 will be funded from a U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant; and, $196,026 will be funded from a Wisconsin Division of Emergency Management (WEM) Hazard Mitigation Grant. The required local match of $196,026 will be met as follows: the in-kind value ($114,120) of the land and easements needed for the project will be donated to the City by Highland Manor Associates, Limited Partnership; and, the City will allocate $81,906 towards the cost of constructing the safe room. In addition to these costs, the City of Madison will also provide $65,000 to cover construction costs not eligible for FEMA/WEM funding. These ineligible costs are associated with a storage room within the shelter designed to hold Parks equipment. Funding for this project is contained within the 2013 Parks Capital Budget, Project No. 22 "Highland Manor Storm Shelter."
While the indemnification clause increases the City’s exposure to risk, the City has coverage for indemnification clauses under its current insurance policy, subject to the policy’s terms and conditions.
