He stated that there are 255 pipes in <br />the floor and his crew had to make 116 repairs by jack hammering the floor and replacing <br />many of the leaks with couplings. Mr. Czech stated that the filtration system is still very dirty <br />but that the filters will eventually clean it up. He stated that ice should be ready to skate on <br />by Saturday, November 8, 2003. He stated that there is an outside chance that a pipe may <br />burst sometime during the season, which could cancel ice indefinitely. <br /> <br />Mr. Czech stated that bid results have been received for the ice rink dasher boards and the <br />floor, which are to be replaced in May of 2004. He distributed the bid results for these two <br />projects. He stated that the bids came in lower than estimated by the city. <br /> <br />Ice Mrena Dasher Board Bids <br />Mr. Czech stated that he recommends accepting the low bid from Commercial Refrigeration <br />Systems. He noted that Athlefica's bid was much higher because they were going to replace <br />all the dasher boards with aluminum boards.

Mr. Czech stated that <br />Commercial Refrigeration would be subcontracting the building and installation of the <br />boards to Becker Arena Products. <br /> <br />Mr. Czech stated that a new gate would be installed and seven foot high seamless glass <br />would be used on the bleacher side of the rink. He stated that tempered glass would be used <br />around the whole rink with the exception of the gate area.
