<br />WS – Item 4 <br />WORK SESSION STAFF REPORT <br />Work Session Item No. 4 <br /> <br /> <br />Date: April 3, 2023 <br /> <br />To: City Council <br /> <br />From: Mike Rowe, Rookery Building Maintenance <br /> <br />Re: Rookery Ductwork Cleaning <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />The Rookery was constructed in 2007. Typically, activity center-type facilities should <br />have the ductwork cleaned every 2-4 years. There is no evidence that the building’s <br />ductwork system has ever been cleaned. In addition, renovations such as removing and <br />cutting, floor tile, wall tile, and base tile created significant amounts of air-borne debris. <br />Dirty duct work can cause breathing issues while exercising, dusty equipment, and a <br />dusty facility. With a severely dusty exhaust system like ours, the aging air handlers work <br />even harder getting the hot and humid air out of the building, as well as the heat or air <br />conditioning, to their desired destinations. The potential benefits would be a cleaner work <br />environment, less dust on equipment, and cleaner air to breathe. Staff is constantly <br />removing visible dust from surfaces throughout the Rookery, especially in the Endurance <br />Fitness area and locker rooms. <br />The duct system is comprised of 10 independent zones. This will allow us to work around <br />the classes and activities of the Rookery Center without closing down the entire facility. <br />Funding is provided by ARPA grant dollars. <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Council Direction <br /> <br />Requesting City Council approval of the quote from KMS Air Duct Cleaning in the <br />amount of $15,211.75 to clean the building’s air ductwork. <br /> <br />
