Mounds View City Council April 25, 2005 <br />Regular Meeting Page 12 <br /> <br />with the signage issues right now. 1 <br /> 2 <br />Mayor Marty reviewed the needs for the front entry façade stating that the vestibule entry area 3 <br />should be fixed. He agreed that they would have to make due with what they have and fix what 4 <br />has to be fixed. He stated that he does not see the Police Department entry or the bathrooms, as 5 <br />an option as they both have to be ADA Compliant. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Public Works Director Lee reviewed the generator connection stating that it is a connection that 8 <br />runs cable from the generator and outfits the building to accept cable. The building is also being 9 <br />outfitted to use as an emergency facility if necessary and the generator would provide backup 10 <br />power to the building. 11 <br /> 12 <br />Council Member Thomas asked if there are any tuck-pointing or fascia issues to be addressed on 13 <br />the front of the building. Ms. Schultz stated that there are no tuck-pointing or fascia issues to 14 <br />address. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Mayor Marty asked if there is any way to fix the vestibule. Ms. Schultz stated no and explained 17 <br />that it is not insulated properly and does not have a barrier to the outside. She stated that this 18 <br />would be bid separately noting that one of the bigger concerns is the type of construction on the 19 <br />wall to the west side. She stated that some tests were done and it appears to be dry but needs to 20 <br />be watched over time. 21 <br /> 22 <br />Council Member Thomas referenced the roof and asked if there was any discussion regarding the 23 <br />pitch of the roof. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Ms. Schultz stated that all roofs have pitches and flat roofs can work. She stated that there is a 26 <br />proposal to change this in phases and it is proposed along with the new HVAC systems. She 27 <br />explained that it would be a half-inch per foot noting that if they did a build up or membrane 28 <br />style it would be better than what they currently have. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Council Member Thomas asked if it could go to two-inches per foot. 31 <br /> 32 <br />Ms. Schultz confirmed that it could. She assured Council that they would try to get as much as 33 <br />possible without driving up the costs too much. 34 <br /> 35 <br />Mayor Marty noted that a letter from S.E.H., dated March 23, 2005, references lump sum fees in 36 <br />the amount of $51,800 for the bidding document phase and asked if they have any idea or 37 <br />estimate as to what the reimbursements might be. 38 <br /> 39 <br />Ms. Schultz stated that they could expect $6500.00 for this size project. 40 <br /> 41 <br />Council Member Flaherty expressed concerns that they are working with estimated costs. He 42 <br />stated that he would prefer actual costs for the architecture or that it states ‘not to exceed’. He 43 <br />referenced the reimbursable expenses related to project, mileage and meals, stating that typically 44 <br />they do not receive reimbursement for meals and asked if this is common. He asked them to 45
