<br />equipment arrived, it became apparent that no screening was provided for the chiller unit located <br />to the south of the mechanical penthouse that houses the rest of the mechanical equipment for the <br />new Municipal Center. Staff requested pricing to provide additional screening for the roof of the <br />new Municipal Center. The cost to construct the additional screening, which would be <br />constructed of the same materials as the existing mechanical penthouse, is $63,800.46. The <br />chiller unit is located on the east side of the building, south of the existing mechanical penthouse, <br />which is constructed of rheinzinc metal louvers. Staff would like direction from the Council <br />regarding the importance of this screening; the contractor is on site and a change order could be <br />issued. <br /> <br />Council discussed the appearance of the chiller unit without screening, including options of <br />painting the chiller unit to blend better and installing a more simple and less expensive fence. <br /> <br />Consensus of the Council was to schedule the discussion of the screening on the August 14, <br />2006, work session agenda, with staff to provide further information regarding the cost estimates <br />to paint the chiller unit, and council members to view the current appearance of the chiller unit <br />prior to the work session. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen arrived. <br /> <br />3) Naming of Municipal Center Conference/Training Rooms <br /> <br />Pulled from the agenda. <br /> <br />4) Review Fire Station #2 Replacement Options <br /> <br />Fire Chief Kapler reviewed that in early 2006, Council directed staff to contract the BKV Group <br />to determine the feasibility of three options to house a working fire station until a new station <br />could be built. Utilizing some or all of the existing police building can be incorporated into each <br />of the options. <br /> <br />Representatives of BKV Group provided an overview of the audit on the existing fire station, and <br />the following options: <br /> <br />Option 1 <br />Utilize existing spaces used by the Fire Department and vacate City Hall portion. Repair, <br />updating, and replacement of building components would be required. Goal is to use for 5 - 10 <br />years. <br />Total project cost estimated at slightly over $350,000; 5 year projection cost of $3,400,000. <br /> <br />Option 2 <br />Demolish the City Hall portion, reroute/relocate existing systems and/or provide new systems to <br />serve the remaining spaces used as fire station. <br />Total project cost estimated at $817,000; 5 year projection cost of slightly under $3,900,000. <br /> <br />City Council Work Session / August 8, 2006 <br />Page 2 of3 <br />
