Mourns ViEw <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />Item No: 8F <br />Meeting Date: February 8, 2021 <br />Type of Business: Council Business <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Don Peterson, Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9393 Approval for a Replacement Furnace at the <br />Hillview Park Shelter Building <br />Background: <br />Hillview Park shelter building was constructed in 2002, the current furnace is original and <br />over the years only minor repairs have been necessary. Staff has performed routine <br />maintenance and in 2019 the Council approved the contract with Architect Mechanical to <br />perform semi-annual checks on the furnaces in the Park Buildings. <br />Discussion: <br />In December of 2020 the furnace began to have issues preventing it to operate correctly; <br />Architect Mechanical performed repairs and got the unit functioning. Staff was advised <br />that the unit was beyond its useful life and will/may continue to fail and quit working. (At <br />this time the unit is not operating and building rentals have been suspended, including <br />the use as a warming house for the ice rinks.) <br />Public Works Staff obtained three proposals to replace the furnace: <br />Trane Building Services $ 10,578.00 <br />Architect Mechanical $ 9,900.00 <br />Home Depot $ 9,372.00 <br />On January 28, 2021 Staff presented the proposal to the Parks, Recreation and Forestry <br />Commission to obtain direction; authorization was given not to exceed $11,110.00 for the <br />replacement. The Commission also requested that Staff investigate having a wider HEPA <br />filter to be installed in the unit. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. <br />Financial Impact: A budget adjustment in the 2021 budget will be required in the Park <br />Dedication Fund, 451-4470-7050 of $10,395.00 for the installation of a new furnace at the <br />Hillview Park Shelter Building. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposal from Architect Mechanical Inc. <br />of St. Anthony MN to replace the furnace at the Hillview Park Shelter Building at a cost of <br />$9,900.00. Staff also recommends the City Council approve a 5% contingency of $495.00 <br />for any unforeseen issues that may arise during this project to be funded from account <br />451-4470-7050, Park Dedication Fund. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
