Due to its <br /> age, maintenance is very high and parts are expensive and hard to find. An evaluation of the system by the <br /> City's General Services Department HVAC crew has recommended replacement. <br /> Additionally, there is a need to make substantial improvements to the first floor bathrooms, including the <br /> installation of new facilities and improved sewer capacity. Also,the existing showers and lockers need to be <br /> expanded and refurbished. Finally, a facility to install two ice machines needs to be constructed. Ice is used <br /> on a daily basis for RPU crew's water needs while they are on the job sites.There are two existing machines; <br /> however, they are unable to keep up with the demand on a regular basis. <br /> The estimated cost for the HVAC replacement is $250,000; bathroom remodel is $150,000; and the ice <br /> machine facility is $50,000. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> The total estimated cost is$450,000. Sufficient funds are available in the Building Occupancy Account No. <br /> 6000010-462050. <br /> Prepared by: Stephen H.
