MINUTES <br />CITY COUNCIL <br />MARCH 26, 2007 <br />REPAIRS outlining estimates for the needed repairs to the City Center as a result of <br />an accident that occurred in January. Three quotes were received for the <br />actual repair work ranging from $31,254.08 to $37,674.20. <br />The Adminisriator reported that quotes were also obtained for additional <br />alternate work, with only two of the three vendors submitting quotes. This <br />alternate work includes the following: <br />Replace/Lower Windows along South Wall; <br />Brick HVAC Screening Wall; <br />Brick Guardrail (south stairwell versus metal); <br />Replace Front Enri•y Door; <br />Window Blinds for South Side Office Windows; <br />Ceramic Tile for Front Lobby Area; <br />Remove Front Entry Sign; <br />Additional Insulation in Office Area. <br />The Administrator proposed that the work be done as two separate work <br />scopes: one for actual repairs and separate conhacts for additional <br />improvements to the City Center. This would prevent the City from <br />having to competitively bid the project, thus saving process costs. The <br />Administrator indicated that he has contacted the League of MN Cities <br />Insurance Trust to determine if that can be done. <br />Blesener stated that he would like to see the new, lower windows installed. <br />He was not sure that a brick wall around the HVAC equipment was the <br />best option. Blesener also thought a decorative railing, perhaps wrought <br />iron, should be installed around the stairwell. Blesener suggested that the <br />repair work be ordered now, including the windows, and the other <br />alternative work items be postponed at this time for further consideration. <br />The City Administrator suggested that the front entry door replacement <br />also be ordered at this time. Items such as screening wall, guardrail, <br />window blinds, ceramic tile, and additional insulation can be done later <br />after further study and would likely be done by different contractors <br />anyway. Removal of the front entry sign can be done by City staff. <br />Keis agreed with proceeding with the repair work and including the <br />lowered windows and front door replacement. Blesener agreed, but <br />suggested that the front door be included only if the total cost is under <br />$50,000. Other alternate work will require some further study. City staff <br />can also proceed with removal of the sign. <br />Mr. Blesener introduced the following resolution and moved its adoption: <br />IS <br />
