Item 6.S. MEMORANDUM FROM: Mayor and City Council Pat Klaers, City AdmitJst~r. {J1lftv2~ November IS, 2004 TO: DATE: SUBJECT: Public Safety Building Project Update-Don Stutesman, Project Manager Kraus-Anderson Construction Company Don Stutesman, Project Manager for Kraus-Anderson Construction Company, will be at this City Council meeting to discuss the conclusion of the Public Safety building project and to review a repayment request for remporary fencing. As I understand the situation, all of the payment requests have been frnalized and submitted to the Finance Department. The one slightly unusual request, because of the timing, is the reimbursement for the remporary fencing. Attached is a letter dated November 1, 2004, from Don Stutesman regarding this requesr. The request relates to an actual expenditure incurred by Kraus-Anderson that typically is the expense of the owner and part of the bidding process; however, the timing and sequence of events necessitated Kraus-Anderson taking the lead for the city and having this fencing installed. In discussing this request with Chief Beahen, I was reminded that this situation had to do with securing the site (equipment and the hole for the building project) prior to the Independence Day celebration and the County Fair. The Public Safety project alone was challenging but it was even more so difficult when this project is combined with the Utilities building and the City Hall remodeling. The city started the master planning for this entire project in late 2001 with construction of the Public Safety building beginning in 2002. Substantial completion was achieved in 2003 and frnal completion has now been achieved. The City Hall remodeling started in mid-2003 and we moved in at the end of March. The project will not be 100% completed until 2005. s: \Council\Pat\2004 \KrauscFinaLdoc
