Item No. 8D Meeting Date: December 10, 2007 Type of Business: CA WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City Administrator Review _______ City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Greg Lee, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7090 Approving a Service Contract for the City Hall Elevator Background: On November 13, 2007 a Staff report and associated Resolution 7090 approving a service contract for the City Hall elevator was submitted for consideration of approval (see attached report). The proposal was to enter into a contract that would include an annual no–load test and quarterly inspections for greasing and general maintenance. The required monthly systems test for the fire service mode and emergency phone call out would be performed by the City’s Fire Marshal / Building Official. The City Council directed Staff to investigate and determine the minimal amount of maintenance that would be allowed as per the state agency that oversees and regulates elevator maintenance. Discussion: The City’s Fire Marshal / Building Official contacted John Roche, the Department of Labor and Industry Elevator Safety Supervisor; Mr. Roche stated that, based on the limited use of the City Hall elevator, the minimum requirement for maintenance is quarterly servicing and an annual no-load test to be conducted by a qualified contractor. The fire recall is required to be conducted and logged monthly. This can be done by a City employee but that employee would need training in order to be qualified. Given that these minimum inspection requirements are consistent with the contract and associated bids previously received, Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 7090 at this time.
