The City has hired the engineering firm Wiss, Janey, E1stner Associates, to <br />investigate the cause of the water intrusion. While the exact cause of the water intrusion has not <br />been fully determined, the engineering firm has recommended removal of all the stone cladding <br />on the chimney area and its associated flashing. <br /> <br />The City continues to experience water intrusion in the chimney area. Regardless of the outcome <br />of the arbitration proceedings, the City will have to repair the chimney area. The City's legal <br />counsel feels that we will be in a better position for the arbitration proceedings if we are able to <br />know the exact price for the chimney repair and possibly the cause ofthe water intrusion. <br /> <br />The City Council previously approved a motion for Wiss, Janey, E1stner, and Associates to <br />prepare bid documents for replacement of the stone on the chimney of City Hall. At this time, <br />City staff is recommending City Council authorization to advertise and request sealed bids for <br />the chimney recladding project. Wiss, Janey, Elstner Associates has estimated the project costs <br />between $105,000 and $125,000. <br /> <br />Request <br /> <br />Motion to Authorize the Advertisement of Bids for the City Hall Chimney Recladding Project. <br />IImetro-inetlardenhillslBuildinglMemoslChimney repair- City Council Memo.DOC <br />
