MOUNDS VtEW <br />City of Mounds View Staff R <br />Item No: 8B <br />Meeting Date: February 28, 2022 <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 9554 Approval for a Replacement Furnace at the <br />Groveland Park Shelter Building <br />Background: <br />Groveland Park shelter building was constructed in 2005, the current furnace is original <br />and 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 February of 2022 the furnace began to have issues preventing it to operate correctly; <br />Architect Mechanical serviced the furnace but was not able to get the unit functioning <br />again; the unit was beyond its useful life. (At this time the unit is not operating and building <br />rentals have been suspended.) <br />Staff obtained two proposals to replace the furnace: <br />Trane Building Services/Kraft $ 11,037.00 <br />Architect Mechanical $ 9,980.00 <br />On February 24, 2022, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Commission was informed of <br />the required furnace replacement and the costs to be funded from 451-4470-7050. <br />Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. <br />Financial Impact: No Financial Impact to the 2022 budget will be required as the Park <br />Dedication Fund, 451-4470-7050 includes $236,553.00. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends the proposal from Architect Mechanical Inc. of St. Anthony MN to <br />replace the furnace at the Groveland Park Shelter Building at a cost of $9,980.00. Staff <br />also recommends Council approve a 5% contingency of $499.00 for any unforeseen <br />issues that may arise during the installation, all to be funded from account 451-4470- <br />7050. <br />Respectfully submitted, <br />Director of Public Works/Parks and Recreation <br />The Mounds View Vision <br />A Thriving Desirable Community <br />
