• <br />• <br />C] <br />POLICY H2 <br />2/11/04 <br />ITEM: Consideration of a contract with Equipment Supply to install an <br />exhaust fan in the Fire Department <br />SUBMITTED BY: Heather Worthington, City Administrator <br />REVIEWED BY: Bill Maertz, Parks and Public Works Director <br />Clem Kurhajetz, Fire Chief <br />EXPLANATION: <br />Summary: When the City Hall was built in 1981, the Public Works barn was equipped with an <br />exhaust fan system to draw diesel fumes out of the barn when equipment was being operated <br />indoors. The Fire Department barn was not similarly equipped. The fire trucks produce diesel <br />exhaust fumes when they are started, and this is entering the administrative side of the city hall, <br />as well as accumulating in the fire barn. The installation of an exhaust fan in the Fire <br />Department barn will enable firefighters to activate the fan and completely cycle out the air in <br />the barn within five minutes. The fan will be on a timer switch, and will automatically turn off <br />after the five-minute cycle. This exhaust fan is required under OSHA standards for air quality, <br />and will be paid for out of the General Capital Improvements fund, which has a projected 2004 <br />balance of $82,541. <br />ATTACHMENT: <br />• Bid fro Equipment Supply for installation of an exhaust fan in the Fire Department on <br />page <br />ACTION REQUESTED: <br />• Accept bid for $9,285.00 for the installation of an exhaust fan in the Fire Department <br /> <br />
