~ ~ ~. EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: January 14, 2007 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Dave Scherbel, Building Official SUBJECT: City Hall Repairs Background At the August 20, 2007, worksession, staff and Brian Pashina from Wiss, Janey, Elstner, Inc. (WJE) were present to discuss future possible repair work to the Arden Hills City Hall Building. At the meeting, WJE identified four areas of concern. Below are those options presented to Council. City Hall Repair Options: 1. Replace through-wall flashing at both levels at base of wall and install sheet metal cap at concrete masonry foundation ledge (along south and east foundation walls.) 2. Replace through-wall flashing above windows on south side of building. 3. Clean and paint relieving angles, and replace through-wall flashing. 4. A) Increase maintenance through routine inspection of coping stones and joints, replacement of failed sealant, and resetting coping stones as required which become damaged by movement. B) Remove and replace existing coping stones with proper overhang with drip and through-wall flashing. At that worksession, Council's recommendation was to defer Items 1 and 2, obtain bids for Item 3, and quotes for Item 4. In preparation for going out to bid, staff has received a proposal from WJE to prepare a project manual and bid documents for item 3 above. Attached is a copy of that proposal. Recommendation City staff requests authorization to have WJE prepare a project manual for cleaning, painting, and replacement of the through-wall flashing at the relieving angles. Staff also requests authorization to have WJE prepare coping repair details and obtain estimates for item A and B above. Total cost for the above is $22,000. \\Metro-inet.us\ardenhills\Building\Memos\City ball future repairs.DOC
