STAFF REPORT <br />DATE:9/2/2025 <br />Consent <br />TO:City Council <br />FROM:Marty Powers, Public Works Director <br />AGENDA ITEM: Public Works Floor Resurfacing <br />REVIEWED BY: Nicole Miller <br />CORE STRATEGIES: <br />☐ Vibrant, inclusive, connected community ☒ Efficient, reliable, innovative services <br />☐ Responsive, transparent, adaptive governance ☐ Balanced Finances now and future <br />☐ Managed Growth ☒ Resilient Infrastructure <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Public Works Shop was constructed in 2006. Over the past 20 years, the road salt and chemicals <br />have deteriorated the concrete floor’s surface, creating pitting and pores open to moisture and debris. If <br />not corrected, the floor will continue to degrade until full replacement is needed. The shop floor surface <br />is no longer easily cleaned, which holds pockets of water, dirt, road salt and other debris creating slip <br />hazards and making it challenging to make clean repairs on vehicles or to keep the debris out of vehicles, <br />equipment and the office. <br />ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL: <br />Should the council approve resurfacing the east half of the Public Works shop floor in 2025 as phase one <br />of the project? <br />PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS: <br />To correct and preserve the current concrete shop floor, Public Works has researched several methods and <br />materials to improve and protect its surface. Staff reached out to the City of Woodbury, the City of <br />Richfield and the City of Lakeville, who have all recently undertaken concrete resurfacing in their shops. <br />Staff also discussed four options from vendors and requested quotes to grind, level, epoxy and seal the east <br />half of the Public Works Shop floor in 2025. The East half has the most damage due to the location of the <br />salt trucks, heavy equipment and the brine storage. All vehicles, equipment and supplies will need to be <br />shifted to the west side of the shop or stored outside during this resurfacing process. A typical floor <br />resurfacing is expected to last 10-15 years in a Public Works facility with heavy trucks, equipment <br />maneuvering and heavy iron making contact with it. Small area patching is expected half way through its <br />life to touch up damaged areas.
