Chairperson Riley asked if these are based on real and current values. <br />Mr. Nelson confirmed that they are using data from recent real -world bids on similar projects. He <br />noted that they are still including a 15 percent contingency as well, which is a bit high at this stage <br />to allow for a conservative estimate. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she does not support the addition of the bump outs. She <br />noted that during the tour of the Andover facility, it was noticed that they were missing a way to <br />get into a certain space and asked if that has been incorporated into this design. <br />Mr. Nelson provided additional details on that access point within the plans. <br />Councilmember Musgrove referenced the monitors and asked the cost to have two sets versus one <br />set as well as the frequency of use that would be estimated. She did not believe that people tour <br />water plants very often and therefore perhaps one monitor would be enough. <br />Mr. Nelson agreed that seems like a bit of overkill. He stated that having two monitors would be <br />good but perhaps they both be placed on the left side. He stated that the monitors would be <br />recommended over art that becomes outdated. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if the wall it would be mounted to would be concrete or <br />paneled. He suggested that the cable be run during construction as that would provide a cost <br />savings compared to adding those later. He asked if there are zero offices in the building. <br />Mr. Nelson confirmed that there are no offices as there would not be a person in the building at all <br />times. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff stated that the monitors are great as they provide a method of gaining <br />information quickly and could also be used for tours. He referenced areas mentioned for storage <br />and asked if that is for water storage. <br />Mr. Nelson confirmed that is for backwash water storage. He commented on the progressive things <br />they have done with design to reduce costs and improve efficiency. <br />Chairperson Riley commented that he does like breaking up the large wall and suggested that the <br />funds be found to do that. <br />Councilmember Woestehoff asked if the lights in the building would be motion based, as the <br />building would not be occupied at all times in order to save energy costs. He asked if the internet <br />services and such would be connected to the public works facility for efficiency. <br />Councilmember Musgrove asked if the bump outs would be on all four sides, or just one side. <br />Mr. Nelson replied that the bump outs would be on just one side to break up the fagade. <br />Public Works Committee / May 17, 2022 <br />Page 6 of 10 <br />
