Memo to the Mayor and City Council Public Works Master Plan January I 0, 2005 Page 3 The above conditions have led staff to identify the need for cold and tempered storage. Cold storage is unheated, but covered and would be utilized for the storage of barricades, traffic control signs, manhole castings, etc. to be accessed quickly and easily especially if a water main or other emergency were to occur and barricades and traffic control signs were needed at a moment's notice. Currently these items are stored outside and are subject to the elements. Tempered storage would be used for equipment/vehicles and would be heated to approximately 550, which would again eliminate the need for the careful jigsaw puzzle of parking that currently occurs with the existing building. This would allow the existing building to be utilized for summer equipment storage maintaining all of the equipment on-site and under cover, which will prolong the life span of the equipment. In addition to the cold storage noted above, the salt storage building is an immediate replacement request. This is due to the condition of the existing storage building, which is nearing collapse, and the changes in salt storage requirements by the EP A/MPCA. These storage requirements require mixing and storage to occur under cover to eliminate salt-laden water run-off into adjacent water bodies / wetlands. Components. Budget. and Phasing Plan: The phasing plan and budget for the Public Works Master Plan is noted in the chart below. The total cost to fill the storage needs is $3.5 million in 2004 dollars over the next 5-10 years. These amounts include dollars for re-working the compost site and completing an interior remodel of the lower level of the existing Public Works building. The components of the interior remodel include an expanded sign-making area, new offices for the Street Superintendent, Street Foreman, Park Foreman, relocated receptionist facilities and the creation oflocker facilities for staff.
