2010 ANNUAL REPORT | DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />PAGE 10 <br />2010 Miscellaneous Concrete Repairs <br />The water main break of New Year’s Eve 2009 in the south boulevard of County Road I near Caribou <br />Coffee left major damage to the concrete roadway, curbing, sidewalk, and shopping center entrance. <br />Public Works staff performed engineering and plan/specification preparation for in-house for the <br />project. Ramsey County had specific requirements that needed to be followed for their approval. <br />Four quotes were received and ranged from $15,362 to $25,926, but the difference between the <br />lowest three was only $984. The low quote was submitted by Neeck Construction, Inc. of <br />Minneapolis, Minnesota. Work was completed in August 2010. <br />2009 City Hall Electrical Service Modifications <br />Bonestroo prepared a quotation proposal for modifications to the City Hall electrical service entrance <br />to accommodate emergency power supply from the 150-kW portable generator. Having a back-up <br />source of power to City Hall is essential since the City Hall building is designated as the Emergency <br />Operations Center (EOC) during natural disasters or search and rescue operations. Three quotes <br />were obtained with a low quote of $17,525 submitted by HyMark Electric, Inc. of Stacy, Minnesota. <br />Construction began in early spring of 2010 and was completed by summer. During several power <br />outages in 2010, the emergency generator was connected to City Hall and everything worked fine. <br />2010 MVCC Gym and Event Center Hardwood Flooring Refinishing <br />Public Works staff prepared the project manual and specifications to “buff and coat” the 10,700 <br />square feet of hardwood floors at the Community Center. Five quotes were received and ranged <br />from $4,015 to $14,899 with the low quote submitted by Twin City Hardwood Flooring of Andover, <br />Minnesota. Work was done in March 2010 and required the Community Center to be closed. <br />Ball Field Fencing Improvements <br />Based on the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission and approval <br />of City Council, a low quote for $17,900 was submitted by Century Fence Company of Forest Lake <br />for work to replace/add chain link fencing to baseball/softball backstops at Groveland, Hillview, City <br />Hall, and Silver View Parks. Construction began in December 2009 and was completed by spring <br />baseball season. <br />2010 Greenfield Park Ball Field Improvements / Mark Wisser Memorial Field <br />Public Works staff was contacted by Kate Wisser in January 2010 asking if the City would be <br />interested in receiving some memorial funds for baseball field improvements at Greenfield Park. <br />Staff consulted the Parks and Recreation and Forestry Commission and recommended an electronic <br />scoreboard and batting cage for the $25,000 pledged donation. Contracts for installing electrical <br />power supply to the scoreboard location, grading construction, and fencing/concrete slab <br />construction were solicited and approved for an amount just under $25,000. Pubic Works staff <br />performed fabrication and installation for the scoreboard and preparation/gravel base construction for <br />the batting cage. Construction was completed in August 2010. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Scoreboard Batting cage
