He noted that as directed by the Council, the sewer and water improvements <br />will be bid as an alternate. <br /> <br />MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER GUMPHREY AND SECONDED BY <br />COUNCILMEMBER FARBER TO ADOPT RESOLUTION 06-58 APPROVING <br />THE PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND ORDERING THE <br />ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE HIGHLAND ROAD <br />RECONSTRUCTION IMPROVEMENT. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br /> <br />Replacement of Fire Station 1 Overhead Doors <br /> <br />Fire Chief Bruce West indicated that the addition at Fire Station #1 is nearing completion <br />which will house two ambulances, offices, storage, and a day room. Chief West stated that as <br />part of the construction process for the new addition, new overhead doors were installed <br />and four overhead doors on the 1972 addition were replaced. He stated that there are three <br />remaining overhead garage doors that were not part of this replacement and due to the age <br />and condition of the remaining doors, he would like Council authorization to have them <br />replaced. Chief West explained that he received quotes for the exact door and window style <br />as the newly installed doors from St. Cloud Door Company and The Garage Door Store. He <br />indicated that the difference between the quotes is $105.00 but noted that one of the quotes <br />cannot guarantee that the color of the doors will match the recently installed doors. He <br />indicated that he has spoken to City Administrator Lori J ohoson and the funding could <br />come from the 2005 fund balance for capital outlay. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dietz questioned why Chief West is recommending purchase of the doors <br />from the higher priced company. Chief West explained that he spoke to the owner of The <br />Garage Door Store and he said he cannot guarantee the color of the new doors will match <br />the ones that were recently installed. He noted that St. Cloud Overhead Door Company was <br />tlle company that installed the other doors for the addition and for ease of maintenance and <br />warranty work, it would be best to deal with the same company. <br /> <br />MOVED BY COUNCILMEMBER GUMPHREY AND SECONDED BY <br />COUNCILMEMBER MOTIN TO AUTHORIZE THE PURCHASE AND <br />INSTALLATION OF THREE OVERHEAD GARAGE DOORS AT FIRE <br />STATION #1 FROM ST. CLOUD OVERHEAD DOOR COMPANY IN THE <br />AMOUNT OF $6,655. MOTION CARRIED 5-0. <br />
