Follow-up Discussion of HVAC System at City HaLL Mr. Ulrich, Director of Public Works, explained that the City Hall building experienced a heating problem . today which was resolved, however some decisions will need to be made in regard to repair of the air conditioning units and roof. He noted that the roof has anumber of holes/leaks which should be repaired as soon as possible. He will be obtaining some cost estimates for these spot repairs. He explained that all air conditioning unit repairheplacement options include re-roofing the building. Staff would like to obtain input from the Council as to how much they feel is economically feasible to put into the building. Council member Quick noted that the options basically include replacing the existing units or go with a higher tech system and he would suggest that staff be directed to look at both of these options and get some figures on what it will cost to replace the bad units and what it would cost for a better system. Mr. Ulrich noted that the minimal repairs necessary would range fi om $30,000 to $44,000 which would include the replacement of three defective units and patching of the roof. A discussion followed It was the general consensus of the council members that the roof repairs must be made as soon as possible. It is roughly estimated that this will cost beiween $3,000 and $5,000. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/5tigney to direct staff to proceed with getting bids for roof repairs not to exceed $10,000, and to execute such contract as required (Mayor's signature). • ~~ ~~ Page 4 November 10, 1997 Mounds View City Council VOTE: 3 ayes G.
