Council Minutes of 2-5-2019 the lowest and best bidder. Director Glauner said WHS Engineering, which specializes in air flow balance studies and HVAC, did a complete assessment of City Hall. The current system was installed in 1983 and revamped in 1992. It is still operating on an antiquated Windows 95 system. The Director said no control parts are available in the immediate area and most need to be purchased through Canada. WHS made several recommendations regarding major problem areas. Due to technical constraints, the system will be installed on a platform in the fleet area. It will provide a new HVAC to Council Chambers, two split systems one for Caucus and one for HR, which has never had air. They will also redo the controls throughout City Hall so the entire building can easily be controlled. Councilman Brossard asked if there would be savings in the cost of utilities and the Director said the new units would be more efficient so they should save in utility costs. The committee voted 3-0 to recommend to Council. • Discussed next was Resolution 2019-18. A Resolution authorizing the Director of Public Service to advertise for bids for the award of a contract to provide a new range roof enclosure and roof replacement at the North Olmsted Police Station, as detailed in the specifications on file, and authorizing the Mayor, following approval of the Board of Control, to contract for the same with the lowest and best bidder. Director Glauner said the problems are constant leaking and the moisture barrier has been compromised. The wall that goes around the outside rail is ready to fall off because the bricks have been compromised. Just replacing the roof and decking was $208,000, but because of needed space for storage the City decided it made more sense to remove the back decking and enclose the top. It would allow for protection of the range and provides three needed offices. One would be for storage of the files, another for equipment and cleaning supplies. The third space will be used for the Lieutenants. The enclosure will cost around $610,000. The City also need to replace the roof of the whole police station so the total cost of this project is around $1.1 million. The Director showed Council a drawing of the addition that would be put on. Councilwoman Hemann said she has visited the Police Station this year and there is an entire wall and good portion of the ceiling in the evidence room that is leaking. She also said it is clear the firing range is leaking and the way it will be redone will change the ammunition the officers' practice with and the upside is a lot more than the cost seems to be. Councilman Limpert asked if anyone does external storage for criminal cases that could be contracted out which would be more secure, scalable and potentially be cheaper in the long run. Director Glauner said he isn't sure, but the concern would be the chain of evidence, but lie could check into it. The committee voted to recommend to Council 3-0.
