<br /> <br />City of Elk River <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />Agenda Section Meeting Date <br />Administration Ma 1,2006 <br />Item Description <br />Re lacement of 1b.ree Overhead Doors at Fire Station 1 <br /> <br />Item Number <br />7.1. <br /> <br />Prepared by <br />Bruce A. West, Fire Chief <br />Reviewed by <br /> <br />Introduction <br />As part of the addition to Fire Station #1, new overhead garage doors were installed and four of the <br />original garage doors from the station's original construction in 1972 were replaced. There are three <br />overhead garage doors remaining that were tlot part of this replacement and I would like City Council <br />approval to replace these remaining three garage doors. <br /> <br />Discus_ion <br />The Elk River Fire Department Fire Station #1 is nearing completion of the new addition which will <br />house the two ambulances, offices, storage, and day room. Fire Station #1 was originally built in 1972 <br />with a 1989 addition atld now the most current 2006 addition. As part of the construction process for the <br />new addition, four overhead doors on the original 1972 addition were replaced. This is the third set of <br />overhead doors during the life of the 1972 original fire station building. <br /> <br />The rem~ining three overhead doors on the 1989 addition to Station #1 have been examined by our <br />maintenance staff, St. Cloud Overhead Door Company, and the Garage Door Store as to the condition <br />and life expectancy of the 17 -year old doors. All three of the doors are recommended for replacement <br />due to the age of the doors, the windows are in need of replacement, and the middle door has already <br />started to delaminate. With the replacement of the remaining three overhead doors, all of the StatiOtl #1 <br />overhead doors will have been replaced and the need for future maintenance or future replacement will <br />be alleviated at this time. I have requested bids from St. Cloud Overhead Door Company (the supplier of <br />the doors for the addition to Station #1) and the Garage Door Store to ensure a competitive price for the <br />replacement of the three overhead doors at Fire Station #1. The difference in price between the two <br />quotes for the exact door and window style as the recently installed doors is $105.00. It should be noted <br />that the Garage Door Store will not be able to exactly match the color of the existittg doors at Station #1. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />I have discussed the overhead door replacement with City Administrator Lori Johnson and the funding <br />will come from the 2005 fund balance reserve for capital outlay. <br /> <br />Attachments <br />· Quote from St. Cloud Overhead Door Company <br />· Quote from the Garage Door Store <br />· Pictures of existittg garage doors at Fire Station #1 <br /> <br />C:\Documents and Settings\bwest\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\OLK3BD\St.ation 1 Garage Doors.doc <br />
