City Council meeting of March 1, 1999 Page 8 the City in replacement of the roof at City Hall. The proposals address the problem from difference perspectives. Trossen Wright is looking at performing a needs analysis to determine the cost benefit of replacing the roof at City Hall, while OSM provided a process from reviewing the structural need for the roof through construction supervision. Trossen Wright suggested a flat fee of $2,000 to construct a building needs study, which would include a cost estimate and recommendation for repair versus replacement of the roof and preparing and needs study to determine if the repair/replacement of the roof is an economically sound alternative. OSM inspected the roof, and indicated that it needs to be replaced in its entirety, with an estimated construction cost between $30,000 and $45,000. OSM estimates that it will cost $23,500 to design and supervise construction of the project, leading to a total project cost of between $53,500 and $68,500. This matter will be discussed further at the workshop to be held on March 3rd.
