During this meeting funding for the projects was discussed. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br />The Event Center inside the Community Center has lighting control allowing the interior lights to <br />be dimmed in sections. The control system is original (1997) and has been malfunctioning for the <br />past several months. Staff and contractors have been making repairs to keep the lighting system <br />functioning, however it has become obvious that the system needs to be replaced. <br /> <br />Staff has received 2 quotes to replace the lighting control system. The low quote is from O’Neill <br />Electric Inc. of Stillwater Paul, MN for a total of $18,670.20. RAK Construction was the other <br />bidder for $22,800.00. <br /> <br />Further Discussion: <br />The 2020 budget, Special Projects, fund 480-4180-7050 includes $26,000.00 for the installation <br />of rest rooms in the men’s and women’s locker rooms next to the gym. Staff and the YMCA <br />Advisory Committee are recommending this money be reallocated for use in order to replace the <br />Event Center Lighting at the Community Center. <br /> <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. <br /> <br />Financial Impact The 2020 budget, Special Projects, fund 480-4180-7050 includes $26,000 for <br />the installation of a rest room in the men’s and women’s locker rooms next to the gym. No <br />additional transfer of funds is necessary. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the City Council approve the quote from O’Neill Electric Inc. of Stillwater, MN <br />to replace the Event Center lighting control system at the Mounds View Community Center for a <br />cost of $18,670.20. Staff also recommends the City Council approve a 10% contingency of <br />$1,867.02 for any unforeseen issues that may arise during this project to be funded from account <br />480-4180-7050, Special Projects, with a 2019 budget amount of $26,000.00. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Director of Public Works <br /> <br /> <br />
