Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />As requested, Oertel Architects, obtained cost estimates from three contractors to verify his <br />estimated cost for improving the air quality at the existing Public Works Garage. <br />As his attached memo indicates, he received estimates from Apollo Heating, Dependable <br />Heating, and Horowitz Mechanical. As usual, each contractor interpreted the scope a little <br />differently and did not include everything. As a result, Mr. Oertel with the assistance of the <br />contractors, adjusted their estimates to include all of the work, resulting in a cost estimate range <br />between $56,000 and S70,000. His original estimate was S62,000 for upgrading the HVAC <br />system. <br />Based on the above, it can be concluded that Mr. Oertel's cost estimates presented in his October <br />25, 2000 report are very reasonable and representative for the general planning decision making <br />level of design that we are at. Therefore, it can also be concluded as stated in Mr. Oertel's <br />report, the estimated cost to upgrade the existing Public Works Garage to meet code (with no <br />expansion) is approximately $150,000. <br />I hope the above information addresses your questions on Mr. Oertel's cost estimates. If not <br />please provide appropriate direction so that I can obtain the information you need. <br />'age 108 <br />
