e OERTEL ARCHITECTS 1795 SAINT CLAIR AVENUE, SAINT PAUL, MN 55105 TEL: 651/696-5186 FAX: 651/696-5188 DATE: January 14, 2014 TO: Project team RE: Little Canada Public Works Project Notes on city hall review and client preferences MEMORANDUM The following are notes on what will be required or desired for the city hall portion of the project. This is based on a review of the city hall with the client /CM group of people. Lead -in note A: A number of items below are minor things. We discussed have James Steele Construction self - perform smaller items (or hiring someone to perform this work.) This will simplify the process and will be much easier in that certain items are somewhat undefined have a imprecise set of conditions (in some cases it would take more time to draw and bid than simply repair.) Joel indicated that he was fine with this, it is just that these minor things should be done as a part of the project so that the building is presentable and complete for the longer term. This might include touch -up at the windows, caulking, adjustments and so on. Typical throughout: 1. Upgrade all lighting (especially the incandescent cans) using preferably LED lights and/or fixtures that will have the least impact on existing conditions (i.e., avoid having to perform other non - electrical repairs to the ceilings and walls.) 2. Many of the windows need minor repairs or touch -up of the stain /varnish on the trim and window units. See note A. 3. We should look at replacing all of the ceiling tiles as many panels are warped and stained, with some gouged. (I would suggest a slightly better panel than what is there with a 20% overage for future replacement.) It appears that the grid can be re -used, with minor exception. 4. The engineers (PC) need to look at the furnaces and AC units to assess condition and whether or not upgrades and replacements are recommended. 1
