Item No: 09I <br />Meeting Date: July 10, 2017 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: ____ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Brian L. Erickson, Public Works Director/City Engineer <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8783, Approving the Design, Purchase and Installation <br />of a Vehicle Chassis Wash for the Public Works Facility <br /> <br />Introduction: <br />During the design phase of the Public Works Facility (City Project No. 2017-C02) it appeared <br />possible that the cost of the total project may exceed the budgeted amount. As a result, staff and <br />the designer removed some features in the building that were not essential to the operations and <br />maintenance staff. One of those items was the chassis wash equipment, which could be <br />purchased and installed outside of the construction at a later date. However, the equipment does <br />require some connections that should be included as part of the construction work. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />During the project design a concern arose regarding the total project cost. As a result, several <br />items of work were removed from the construction bid package. One of those items was the <br />vehicle chassis wash. This is an item that could be added at a later date; however, it would <br />require some plumbing and mechanical work in order to be functional. This work would require <br />some additional demolition/construction in the building. Based on the low bids that came in staff <br />began the process of trying to add this component as part of the construction work. This would <br />allow the new building to have the chassis wash once it is occupied. <br /> <br />After the contract was awarded, staff along with Oertel began the process for getting the cost and <br />installation details for the chassis wash. The bulk of this cost is from the equipment manufacturer; <br />however, there is some additional cost from Ebert’s plumbing, electrical, and concrete <br />subcontractors. In addition, some design and review by the architect is required for plumbing and <br />electrical connections. The following table shows the total cost for adding the chassis wash to <br />the facility. <br /> <br />Work Item Original Cost <br />Interclean Chassis Wash 65,277.00$ <br />Plumbing 1,841.00$ <br />Electrical 1,150.00$ <br />Concrete 800.00$ <br />Construction Subtotal 69,068.00$ <br />Bond Cost (2%)1,381.36$ <br />Subtotal 70,449.36$ <br />Overhead & Profit (5%)3,522.47$ <br />TOTAL CONSTRUCTION 73,971.83$ <br />Additional Design Fee 2,892.50$ <br />TOTAL COST 76,864.33$ <br />PW Facility Chassis Wash Installation <br />
