Mounds View City Council January 23, 2006 Regular Meeting Page 23 would be the main entrance and the police entrance, and the access points at the Community 1 Center would be the main entrance and the southwest entrance. Public Works Director Lee 2 stated that the reason for the card reading devices is to allow the City to control access to the 3 buildings, in terms of when and who has access. 4 5 Public Works Director Lee stated that this system was planned to be installed with the City Hall 6 project; however, it would be more cost effective if the City did not have this item included in 7 the overall bid for the City Hall project. Public Works Director Lee stated that the City received 8 three quotes. The low quote was received from UHL in the amount of $17,800. 9 10 Public Works Director Lee stated that the Special Projects Fund is recommended to fund this 11 installation, should the City proceed with it. Staff recommends that the City Council approve 12 Resolution 6726. 13 14 Public Works Director Lee added as a note in the staff report, it talks about the City adjustment 15 that is included in some change orders. He stated that since this was not received until Friday of 16 last week, it will be included in the next meeting. 17 18 Councilmember Thomas asked if it is possible to retrofit and include indoor security points in the 19 future. 20 21 Public Works Director Lee stated that it can be done at any time, but it is more cost effective to 22 do it now. He explained that it will save money to do it all at once; however, it can be done in 23 the future. He explained that access points could be included in the future, and the estimated cost 24 is $3,500 per access point. 25 26 Councilmember Thomas asked whether the appropriate wire can be run now for a possible 27 retrofit later. She asked if there is an additional cost on the setup now or if it can be done later. 28 29 Public Works Director Lee stated that is not part of the bids that were received. He explained 30 that wires could be added now to set everything up to add additional card reading points at City 31 Hall. He stated that there is a cost savings to do this now. He explained that this could be done 32 retroactively, and it would cost a little more because the contractor would have to go into walls, 33 ceilings and so forth. 34 35 Councilmember Thomas stated there will be places inside the building that are secure, and that 36 would be a way the City could have control of access at some of those points. 37 38 Councilmember Stigney asked if locations are identified to place the wire. Councilmember 39 Thomas stated it is easy to come up with possible locations. 40 41 Councilmember Stigney asked if staff had feelings about where the secured access points should 42 be and if there are areas known. 43 44
