UP-'414 <br /> 411 MEMORANDUM <br /> Memo To :Mayor and Council Members <br /> From :Ric Minetor, City En•ineer/Director of Public Works <br /> Date :June 14, 1990 <br /> Subject :Treatment Plant Building Options <br /> We have been reviewing the layout of the proposed new treatment <br /> equipment in treatment plant #1. We have found that a new State <br /> Fire Marshal regulation requires air scrubbers on the chemical <br /> rooms . This regulation makes it difficult to arrange the <br /> equipment within the existing building. The suggestion was made <br /> to consider the possibility of constructing a new building <br /> adjacent to well 3 (on the corner of Bronson and Edgewood) and <br /> abandon the existing building upon completion of the new <br /> treatment plant. This would then allow the existing building to <br /> be utilized for expansion of City Hall. <br /> The existing building would need remodeling, but approximately <br /> 2500 square feet of space would be available for City Hall <br /> • expansion. This space could be utilized in many ways , but <br /> probably would not preclude an addition for the police <br /> department. <br /> The estimated cost of a new building for treatment plant #1 is <br /> $350,000. This is a very rough estimate and is based only on <br /> doubling the current square footage and utilizing similar <br /> construction (brick and masonry construction) . The scrubber <br /> requirement may add as much as $100,000 to the original cost <br /> estimate for remodeling the existing building. <br /> Staff is requesting council direction on whether to further study <br /> . . <br /> continue with this option, a preliminary floor plan and cost <br /> estimate could be developed by Short-Elliott-Hendrickson and the <br /> space needs consultant could review probable uses for this area. <br /> 111 <br />
