BKV Group for professional services regarding planning for the temporary re- <br />use of the existing City Hall and Fire Station No. 2. Since that agreement was authorized, staff <br />has met with BKV representatives and it has become apparent that additional work may be <br />required regarding the future site of Fire Station No. 2. Since November, the plat for the area in <br />and around the existing municipal center has been approved; this plat carves out a site for a <br />future Fire Station No. 2. The BKV agreement included in the Council's packet highlights the <br />additional site assessment and concept plan work for the reconstruction of Fire Station No. 2. <br />Ms. Nelson explained the original agreement fee was $6,400 plus expenses; the revised <br />agreement expenses are proposed at $10,500 plus expenses. This expense would be funded by <br />the Equipment Revolving Fund. Staff recommends the Council authorize agreement with BKV <br />Group regarding the temporary re-use of the existing City Hall and Fire Station No. 2. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec directed staff to request BKV to review the grading and drainage situation, as <br />there have always been leakage problems with the City Hall basement. <br /> <br />P62 <br /> <br />City Council / April 25, 2006 <br /> Page 20 of 23 <br /> <br /> <br />
