Item No. 8I Meeting Date: August 14, 2006 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: Michael Schnur, Lead Utility Worker Item Title/Subject: Resolution 6897Approving SEH for Architectural Services for 2006 Building Upgrades for Wells and Treatment Plants Background: In 2005, staff in coordination with SEH, conducted an analysis of water division building infrastructure. Some of the items that were identified that need to be addressed are: 1. Water Treatment Plant No. 1 was constructed in 1991. The doors that were installed are currently in very poor condition, and are in need of replacement. The doors are constructed out of steel for security reasons. This steel is reacting negatively with the chemicals needed to successfully treat the water going through the plant. As a result, they are rusting, and are very hard to secure. 2. Well House No. 2 was constructed in 1962 and the windows are in need of replacement. The windows are past their expected life, and are very inefficient in the winter. There are vents over the windows to cool the pump house down in the summer while the well is running but these vents need to be boarded up in the winter. 3. Well No. 2 the overhang on the door is currently leaking, and in the wintertime, it allows for water to get in behind the overhang. This moisture can cause structural damage to the pump house during the winter due to the freezing and thawing of the water. It is already breaking some of the bricks on the front of the building. Discussion: Staff has received a proposal for architectural, engineering, and project management services in the amount of $5,668.00. The project will consist of 1. Remove and replace two door units, paint said doors and four other door units, and two access covers, at Water Treatment Plant No. 1. 2. Remove and replace three windows at Well House No. 2. This will also include replacing the existing vents with a thermostatically controlled power vent system. 3. Refurbish or replace the entry door canopy, depending of the severity of damage once it is taken apart.
