<br />save on staff time. He stated that handwashing would require 25 to 30 minutes for large <br />vehicles. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth asked if there would be backup generators. <br /> <br />Mr. Cooper stated that a location is shown on the plan for a backup generator. He stated that the <br />electric system will be designed to accept that generator, while the generator may not be included <br />in the base bid. He explained that electric codes require you to overdesign the generator if you <br />include it on the original design. He stated that the generator can be scaled based on the known <br />energy of the facility when added after the original design. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth asked about solar panels. <br /> <br />Mr. Cooper replied that solar panels are not a part of the project, but the roof structure would be <br />designed to support that addition in the future. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth asked the chances that this building would use United States steel. <br /> <br />Mr. Sell replied that would depend on the bidding environment and provided additional details <br />on the local suppliers they use. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth referenced the cost for lifts and asked for details. <br /> <br />Mr. Cooper replied that there are quite a few lift manufacturers based overseas in Europe. He <br />stated that the provider that provided the quote is locally based and Ortel has worked with them <br />in the past. He stated that the lifts quoted are assembled in America. He commented that it <br />would depend upon the lifting capacity desired. He noted that there are only one or two <br />manufacturers that design over a certain weight. <br /> <br />Councilmember Menth referenced the below grade fuel tanks and asked for additional details. <br /> <br />Mr. Cooper replied that above grade tanks are large for this type of capacity and do not look <br />good, therefore an equal amount of money is spent landscaping. He noted that additional fire <br />protection is required for above ground. He stated that whether above or below ground, all tanks <br />are double wall. He stated that they seldom do above ground tanks for large sizes because there <br />are additional hurdles. He reviewed some of the benefits of the underground tank. He <br />recognized that there are pros and cons to both options, but if one thing can be moved out of the <br />way, it helps with circulation. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked for clarification on some of the more estimated figures in the <br />budget, such as contingency. <br /> <br />Mr. Sell stated that those items were included to protect the budget and ensure that it does not go <br />over budget, such as inclement weather. <br /> <br />City Council / April 28, 2020 <br />Page 7 of 12 <br /> <br />
