Regular meeting <br />July 18, 2005 <br /> <br />actions. What is needed first is for Council to agree to add them to the Agenda, <br />so they can be discussed. <br /> <br />Mr. Sharpe made a motion to add the two items to the Agenda. Ms. Brungardt <br />seconded the motion. The motion of approval to add the two items to the Agenda <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM #8 – Change Orders for Fire Station improvements. <br /> <br />The Fire Station was in need of adding bathroom facilities, putting in a larger door so <br />fire truck can enter, sealing of doorways and other related types of work. The total <br />amount of money needed is $14,070. This is the minimum amount needed to use this <br />building as a fire station for seven to twelve months. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner made a motion for approval. Mr. Sharpe seconded the motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Adams has a question as to whether traffic lights had to be put up by temporary fire <br />station. Mr. Ollendorff said he would look into it tomorrow. <br /> <br />The motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />AGENDA ITEM #9 – Change Orders for the City Hall renovation project <br /> <br />Mr. Ollendorff reported that there were two Change Orders. <br /> <br />1. On the general outline for the project, included was so called “smart electric” <br />panels. This is our computer controlled energy efficiencies devices which turn the <br />lights on and off at set times. It was definitely discussed by the City Council, <br />architects, and engineers, but they were not clearly put into plans and specs. The <br />result was that the bidder did not include the “smart panels” in the bid. To add <br />these “smart panels” would be an additional $53,000. Architects and engineers <br />assured Mr. Ollendorff that this was a very fair price and knowing that Council <br />wanted this, he approved the Change Order and is seeking Council confirmation. <br /> <br />2. Plans and specs called for 600 amp electrical service. Final review of all the <br />electric issues in the City Hall project, especially the heating/cooling elements, led <br />the engineers to conclude that the correct size of the service should be 800 amps. <br />The additional cost of upgrading the amps would be $31,000. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner made the motion to accept the Change Orders. Mr. Sharpe seconded the <br />motion. <br /> <br />Mr. Wagner wanted to know if the Change Order amounts were to come out of <br />unallocated accounts in this year’s budget. Mr. Ollendorff agreed.
