Regular City Council Meeting Monday, March 19, 2012 Page 6 At the request of Councilmember McGehee as to whether at some point City Hall would be added to that loop, Mr. Hutson advised that there had been and still was an excess of heat, but not cooling capability, which was the nature of the ice are- na. Mr. Hutson advised that the City Hall could definitely be connected to the loop in the future for a heat source, since there still remained excess heat once connected to the OVAL; however, he noted that cooling options would always need to be provided by a different source. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Hutson advised that ceiling fans had always been included as part of the interior design. Mayor Roe questioned if, in the future, additional wells could be integrated for cooling as part of an upgrade for the entire campus, with Mr. Hutson responding affirmatively. Fire Chief O'Neill noted that the excess heat from the skating center provided the ability for the public works garage to tie into the system at a later date; and access had been made available in anticipation of that future potential. In making the connection to the skating center for the fire station, Councilmember Willmus questioned if the skating center would need to be shut down for any pe- riod of time; and if so, how would that timing work out. Mr. Hutson advised that he anticipated minimal shutdown, since the connection was done by simply connecting a valve. Councilmember Willmus questioned the location of the interior water feature in conjunction with the public space, with Mr. Hutson advising that it was at one of the most visible entry points to the fire station at the vestibule entrance. At the request of Councilmember Willmus, Mr. Hutson and Chief O'Neill reviewed the significant display area to facilitate the history of the fire company and its mem- bers since its 1944 founding, including larger scale items. At the request of Councilmember Johnson, Mr. Hutson advised that it would take in excess of 100 additional wells to efficiently cool the new fire station, with ap- proximately 180 wells in the skating center parking lot, but only space for 30 wells in the fire station parking lot. At the request of Councilmember McGehee, Mr. Hutson reviewed the exterior el- evations from the southwest perspective that was intended to maximize the public view to the greatest extent possible. Steve Kilmer, professional construction manager with Bossardt Corporation, ref- erenced the details included in Bid package #1 as outlined in the RCA dated March 19, 2012; with three (3) contracts let out for bid.
