<br />Request for Action <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />To Item Number <br />Mayor and City Council 10.5 <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date Prepared by <br />Work Session October 5, 2020 Gary Lore, Building Maintenance Supervisor <br />Item Description Reviewed by <br />HVAC, Disinfection and Energy Efficiency Justin Femrite, P.E., Public Works Director <br />Upgrades to City Facilities <br />Reviewed by <br />Cal Portner, City Administrator <br /> <br />Action Requested <br />Discussion and staff direction on potential upgrades. <br /> <br />Background/Discussion <br />To update our Capital Improvement Plan and complete an inventory of the energy consumption and city facility <br />air handling components, we engaged Apex Companies to do a comprehensive evaluation of our public buildings <br />and their efficiency especially as it relates to the air handling components for compliance with new CDC <br />guidelines. <br /> <br />Apex provides facility assessments to determine efficiency and seeks solutions that basically pay for themselves <br />through reduced energy and operational costs. In their assessment, they identified some necessary upgrades to <br />meet the new limits for turnover of indoor air in occupied spaces at City Hall and the field house at the <br />multipurpose facility. They also recommend technology solutions to consider for all facilities to disinfect air prior <br />to flow into occupied spaces. <br /> <br />Upon consensus on potential improvements, contracts will be prepared and presented for approval on October <br />19, 2020. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />It is understood because some of these upgrades are necessary to meet CDC guidelines for preventing the spread <br />of COVID 19 and because they are not budgeted, the costs are eligible and recommended to be paid for with <br />CAREs Act funding. The project cost estimate for CAREs Act eligible components is $1,066,560. <br /> <br />Mission/Policy/Goal <br />Energy efficiency and meeting air handling standards in our public buildings. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />None <br /> <br /> <br />The Elk River Vision <br />A welcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional <br /> <br />service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity. <br /> Updated: August 2020 <br />
