Item # 5.6. <br />city <br />E <br />river <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor and City Council <br />FROM: Lori Johnson, City Administrator <br />DATE: April 12, 2010 <br />SUBJECT: Public Works Master Plan Update <br />The 2010 Capital Improvement Plan includes $100,000 for planning and design of the public <br />works complex expansion and $250,000 for replacing the fuel tanks and pump island at the <br />public works complex. The actual expansion of the public works facility itself is not <br />budgeted unti12012 at the earliest. <br />This item is coming forward now because of the need to replace the existing fuel tanks. The <br />fuel tanks are single-ply tanks that were installed during the original project construction in <br />1987. The fuel tanks need to be replaced with two-ply tanks in order to meet current leak <br />detection requirements. However, before the fuel tanks are replaced or relocated, the master <br />planning for the entire site needs to be completed to ensure that the tanks and fuel island are <br />put in the correct location to accommodate future expansion of the public works building. <br />In October, the City Council approved the process for proceeding with the master plan. <br />Staff is requesting authorization to begin that process so that the fuel tanks and island can be <br />updated in 2010. A staff committee consisting of department head and division manager <br />representatives from public works, parks and recreation, finance, and community <br />development will participate in the process. This first step is only to request proposals for <br />qualifications for architects and to interview architects. Following selection of a qualified <br />architect(s), a proposal will be requested and presented to the Council for approval. <br />S:\Public Bodies\Council\Lori\2010\PW Master Plan.doc <br />
