HomeMy WebLinkAbout7B - New Fire Station Bids , , DATE: BACKGROUND: DISCUSSION: ISSUES: STAFF AGENDA REPORT 7-B FRANK BOYLES, CITY MANAGER CONSIDER AUTHORIZATION TO SOLICIT BIDS FOR THE NEW FIRE STATION MARCH 7, 1994 Specifications and bidding documents for the new fire station have been completed by Boarman and Associates. Authorization from the City Council is required to solicit bids. Attached is the project schedule for the new fire station. The schedule calls for the City Council to authori~e the solicitation of bids at the March 7 meeting The public notice will be placed in the City's legal newspaper and the bids will be received by March 28. Bid award by the City Council is anticipated for either April 4 or 18. Since last year, Boarman representatives and the Fire Department Facilities Committee members have been working to finalize the plans for the fire station. The objective has been to establish a building plan that is both within the project budget but also provides for the Department's long term needs. Plans have been prepared and are being re-evaluated to assure that they are in conformance with the project's budget. Paul Mickelberg of Boarman and Associates will be present at the Council's March 7 meeting to review the exterior and interior building plans and numerous other issues, including the project's budget. The Council should be aware of numerous issues associated with this project. Paul Mickelberg will review: 1. Building exterior and interior plans. 2. Training room configuration (see attached alternative sketches) . 3. Project budget including alternates. 4. Permit fees. A copy of the project schedule is attached. I do not believe that there are any significant issues associated with the schedule. The use of the training room for City Council and advisory body meetings should be discussed. Attached are various sketches previously provided to the City Council. Those sketches assume that the room would be used by the City Council and other advisory bodies on a shared basis with the divider closed. In those cases where a large meeting takes place the divider could be opened as shown in other options. As presently designed, the Council table would not be on a riser. A wood table would also be fabricated which is on casters and can be divided into three separate tables for easy storage. Councilmembers should provide their final input on this issue. -1- 4629 Dakota St. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER T r 1 The project budget is $2.1 million. Of that amount approximately $200,000 was required for land acquisition, improvement and financing costs. In order to get the greatest ban~ for the city's dollar, a number of items are being bid as alternates, including: 1. Metal roof, $32,000. 2. Vinyl wall covering (Lobby and Training Room), $2,500. 3. Epoxy flooring - estimated at $28,114.00 4. Extractor (commercial dryer) $8,000.00 5. Pressure washer system $6,000.00 6. Cascade oxygen tank system, $8,400.00 Ideally, the bids for building construction will come in low enough so that all of these alternates can be acquired. If we cannot obtain all of our wants listed above within budget then items should be eliminated beginning at the bottom of the list. 'believe that it is crucial that the Metal Roof and vinyl wall covering be retained to assure a high quality maintenance free building which will meet our needs for the next thirty years. The final cost related issues has to do with permit fees. Shown below is Gary Staber's estimate of the total fees which would be charged to the contractor at the time a building permit is requested: 1. 2. Q:) ~ CcID (""b '8'1 Permit fee Plan review fee State surcharge Parks support fee Metropolitan SAC Collector Street Sewer and Water Water tower charge AMOUNT $4,739.50 3,080.67 740.00 4,550.00 5,600.00 2,450.00 6,300.00 4.200.00 $31.660.17 FEES Total.................. . The policy question here is whether or not the city will charge itself the same fees as it would if a private developer were constructing this facility. Some cities take the position that they should not waive any fees since it leaves the impression that the law does not apply to the king. Other communities will waive certain fees on the basis that the taxpayers are in effect paying double fees and the charges amount to transferring money from one municipal pocket to the other. If fees are to be waived, I recommend that only the following be considered: 1 . Permit fee 2. Plan review fee 3. Parks Support Total Savings......... $4,739.50 3,080.67 4.550.00 $12.370.17 The other fees are either required by the state or have been computed as the amount all developable property must pay to support the overall street or utility systems. -2- T r 1 ALTERNATIVES/RECOMMENDATION: The City Council should authorize solicitation of bids for the fire station in order to remain on schedule with this project. I recommend that the City Council take the following position: 1. Identify modifications desired to the training room, if any. Council should determine whether a riser is important or essential. A determination should be made on whether the meeting room when, split in half, is of sufficient size to adequately meet City Council meeting needs. 2. Confirm that retaining the metal roof system and vinyl wall covering are top priority with next priority given to epoxy flooring, etc. 3. Direct which fees should be waived. 4. Authorize the solicitation of bids for this project. ACTION REQUIRED: A motion which incorporates direction with respect to the five above listed issues.
