The meeting was called to order at 8 p.m.by Mayor Don Swanson.
Mr.Swanson stated that this special meeting was called in order to consider the i/3Q
presentation of the architect's final plans for the Police/Justice Court/Council "
Facility.
Mr. Waggener introduced Art Nordling who introduced Walt Foltz and Marsha Layman,
all of Walker,McGough,Foltz,and Lyerla.
Mr. Nordling presented the drawings, which he stated were 99.9% complete and a
rough draft of the specifications.He also showed samples of the split face rib
block and the add alternate of brick veneer.He stated that a review by the
Building Committee and by each department is necessary to be sure the project is
in conformance with what was requested.\
Acting Chief Palmer stated that he had applied for a grant for a 7 bay radio
console for the Police Department and had been informed that no grants were avail
able until 1980 or 1981. He stated that the present system has 30 or 40 wires
running out of it over the floor and it is very hazardous and also inadequate for
the job. He stated that with a radio console the wires would be enclosed by the
console.He stated that it would cost about $15,000 which would be using all new
equipment; by using the existing equipment and obtaining equipment from different
companies, the cost would be considerably less. He presented a sketch to the Council
showing the set up of the radio console unit.
Mr. Nordling stated that an access floor has been designed to take care of this
set up and it could be installed at any time without the necessity of running
wires across the floor.
Mr.Hill moved that this radio console be included as an add alternate,seconded
by Mr. Jones,and passed unanimously.
Mr.Nordling stated that the access floor was not part of the final estimate and
it will amount to approximately $2,500.He stated that they were also requested*-
to add a courtroom intercom system including 10 mikes,an amplifier,and a recorder
which would come to approximately $5,500 and should be put on an add alternate basis.
He further stated that they felt the lighting in the parking lot should be a part
of the paving, curbing, sidewalks, and curb cut add alternate.
After some discussion on the layout and plans of the Police/Justice Court/Council
Facility the Council wanted to know how long it would take to get specifications
for the requested radio console.Mr.Nordling stated that he would have to talk
with his electrical consultant before he would know for sure.
Mr.Nordling stated that they would recommend that the mechanical and electrical
bids be opened 4 or 5 days before the general building bids as this seems to be
the trend in order to secure good bidding.
Mr.Hill moved to rescind the motion adding the radio console as an add alternate,
seconded by Mr.Jones,and passed unanimously.
Mr. Jones moved that bids be prepared with the following five add alternates:
1. Paving, curbing, sidewalks,curb cuts, and lighting
2.Brick veneer
3.Lanscaping and sprinkler system
4.Courtroom intercom and recording system
5.Fire alarm
seconded by Mr. Johnson, and passed unanimously.
