REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION Agenda Section: 9:F <br /> WDS Report Number. 93-486C <br /> STAFF REPORT Report Date: 4-22-93 <br /> Council Action: <br /> 0 Special Order of Business <br /> CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE April 26, 1993 0 Public Hearings <br /> ❑ Consent Agenda. <br /> ® Council Business <br /> Item Description: Consideration of Award of Proposal for City Hall Entryway <br /> Administrator's Review/Recommendation: Cr' <br /> yti <br /> - No comments to supplement this report <br /> - Comments attached. <br /> Explanation/Summary (attach supplement sheets as necessary.) <br /> SUMMARY; <br /> • <br /> Proposals were received from Harmon Glass and EMPIREHOUSE, Inc. for <br /> remodeling the City Hall entry way. Two alternatives were submitted by each <br /> company; installation of a "solarium" to extend the entry way to meet ADA <br /> requirements reusing the existing doors, and installation of a "solarium" <br /> with all new doors. The second alternate was to use 2 - 42" wide doors both <br /> at the exterior and interior of the entry. The base bid was to reuse the <br /> existing 3 doors at each the exterior and interior of the entry. Both bids <br /> included automatic door openers and railings. The bid from EMPIREHOUSE did <br /> not include the necessary electrical work. <br /> Harmon Glass proposed a lower cost on both 'alternates and included the <br /> electrical work. They also bid an addition of $792 for a Croy Tile Floor <br /> inside the entry. The alternative, is to have: the company that previously <br /> re-surfaced the interior floors to return and match the new floor in the <br /> entry. <br /> I am discussing the bids with Ramsey County regarding the requirements for <br /> Community Development Block Grant funding. A final recommendation will be <br /> presented at the Council Meeting. <br /> A final concern was discussed among staff, the existing concrete flatwork <br /> in front of City Hall will be damaged by this work. The existing concrete <br /> is an exposed aggregate surface which is difficult to clean in the winter <br /> and often retains ice in the irregularities of the surface. This creates <br /> an unsafe situation and requires the use of salt to remove the ice. In <br /> extreme temperatures the salt does not work, and the ice remains. Staff <br /> would propose to remove all the concrete and replace with new "broomed" <br /> surface concrete at this time. Alternatively, the area damaged may be <br /> patched back and the balance of the surface removed and replaced at a later <br /> date. <br /> RECOMMENDATIOI tic Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engineer <br />
