22 <br />COUNCIL MEETING JANUARY 13, 1992 <br />seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously. <br />All of the above referenced resolutions can be found at the end <br />of these minutes. <br />CONSIDERATION OF BIDS FOR RENOVATION OF OLD FIRE BARN FOR POLICE <br />OFFICES <br />Mr. Volk explained that the City is acting as general contractor <br />for remodeling the interior of the old fire hall on Lake Drive. <br />Plans have been prepared and cost estimates have been solicited <br />for four (4) different aspects of the remodeling; general <br />carpentry, electrical, heating and cooling and floor covering. <br />General carpentry estimates were received from two (2) companies; <br />Steven LaVessuer Drywall Service, Columbus Township, $13,922.00 <br />and Jim's Remodeling, Lino Lakes in the amount of $14,000.00. <br />Mr. Volk noted that the Council has previously been on record as <br />awarding contracts to local businesses when it is practical. In <br />this case, the local business cost estimate is $78.00 higher than <br />the low bidder. The total estimated cost of the remodeling is <br />$30,537.94. This is slightly higher than originally estimated. <br />Council Member Neal asked for clarification of the scope of the <br />remodeling. Mr. Volk explained that this is interior remodeling <br />of the current office areas and construction of office space in <br />the current garage area. It does not include adding on another <br />garage or any updating of the exterior of the building. Council <br />Member Kuether asked if the estimate of $14,000.00 was rather <br />high? Mr. Volk explained that it included demolishing some <br />walls, adding walls, painting, staining and ceilings. This would <br />be a total renovation of the interior. <br />The remodeling project will take approximately three (3) weeks <br />and it appears that the police personnel can move into the <br />building about the middle of February. <br />Chief Campbell said that he and his staff are excited about <br />moving into the building. He noted that there will be some <br />additional expense for furniture but this should not be a big <br />problem. <br />Council Member Kuether moved to approve the remodeling of the old <br />fire hall and award the general carpentry construction to Jim's <br />Remodeling for $14,000.00, the heating and cooling to Anderson <br />Burner Service Company for $6,900.00, the electrical and lighting <br />services to Remington Electric Company for $5,066.00 and the <br />floor covering to Carpets Galore for $4,649.94. Council Member <br />Neal seconded the motion. Mr. Volk noted that the floor covering <br />was estimated at $11.35 per square yard. This should be <br />PAGE 3 <br />1 <br />1 <br />
