Case #3: Public Works Metal Building Improvements Public Works Supervisor Riemer stated that, in 1998, the Public Works Department made improvements to the interior lighting system and replaced two of the overhead garage doors in their facility. The new garage doors are wider and include automatic openers. They also removed an interior loading dock and changed the location of the service door. All of the improvements have increased the utilization of the building. The City of Ramsey's Capital Improvement Program includes a project to improve the metal building at the Public Works Facility. This project is to be funded over the next three years, with $17,000 being allocated for 1999. For 1999, Mr. Riemer proposed improvements in the following areas: Replace the remaining two overhead garage doors with the wider doors and electric openers Install electrical outlets throughout the building · Install overhead lighting in the remaining portion of the building · Replace existing fuel tank and pump (used for off-road machinery only) · Pour concrete aprons for the two remaining doors Mayor Gamec questioned if the loading ramp that was damaged has been repaired. Public Works Supervisor Reimer replied that it has not been repaired due to the cost of the repair, but noted that it should be completed next year. Motion by Councilmember Connolly, seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen, to recommend that City Council authorize staff to award bids to Sterling Electric, City Wide Garage Door, and Determan-Brownie Inc. for improvements to the Public Works Facility in the amount of $17,000.
