RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION: Expedited approval of this Ordinance is requested to avoid a delay in the completion of this project.
ITEM SUMMARY:
• This Resolution amends expenditures in the 2010-2014 Capital Improvements Program by transferring surplus funds, in the amount of $85,000, from Fire Station 7 (FI1023) to Alma Fire Station (FI7111).
BACKGROUND:
• The current Alma Fire Station budget is in the amount of $2,800,000.
• During the renovation of the existing facility unforeseen conditions resulted in increased costs of approximately $85,000 as follows:
o Existing electrical wiring did not meet codes and needed to be replaced.
o The insulation was found to be contaminated due to rodent infestation and needed to be replaced.
o Additional window seal failures were discovered requiring more windows to be replaced.
o Additional structural elements were required to adequately support newly configured spaces.
o Additional construction material testing was required for structural evaluation of the existing post-tension slab and also due to changes in construction sequence caused by unusually wet weather.
o A new gas service was required because the existing meter was farm tap (typical for a rural/agricultural service near a high pressure gas main).
o Additional civil construction work, primarily around the detention pond.
o Changes to the mechanical ductwork and ventilation systems.
o Reattachment of the existing roof and changes to the downspouts and gutter conditions to accommodate observed issues.
o Changes to the telecommunications and security systems required due to existing conditions.
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS: None
FINANCIAL SUMMARY: This Resolution authorizes a CIP amendment, transferring $85,000 from Fire Station 7 Project (FI1023) to Alma Fire Station Project (FI7111).
