Summary & Background Due to performance issue with the contractor, the Department of Senior Services (Department) did not renew the home repair contract with Greenheart Construction on December 31, 2021. This decision was made after issuing a corrective action plan and monitoring performance. In the interim and in an effort to address constituent complaints regarding pending home repair issues caused by the contractor, the Department used Meals on Wheels Atlanta, Inc. (MOWA), a prior County vendor, to facilitate minor repairs. However, this was a Department error because the contract MOWA had with the County had expired. This request will allow repair expenses, in the amount of $19,131.26, to be paid, notwithstanding expiration of the MOWA contract. The request is being made because MOWA is a former contractor with the County and the services provided benefitted Fulton County seniors. The Department has since obtained BOC approval, on May 18, 2022, Agenda item 22-0366, for two (2) new home repair contractors, Energy Construction and Allusions Design and Construction.
Community Impact: The services provided by MOWA enabled seniors to remain in their home and continue to be active in their community.
Department Recommendation: The Department of Senior Services recommends approval of this item.
Project Implications: Approval of this request ensures fiscal compliance.
Community Issues/Concerns: There are no community issues or concerns regarding this action.
Department Issues/Concerns: Contract management and compliance are concerns that the Department will address through training and policy review. The Department is also concerned that if the invoices are not paid, then there will be no remedy for payment of a service rendered by a prior County contractor.
