FROM: Utilities Department
Ed Burt, Utilities Operations Manager
(949) 718 -3402 or eburt@city.newport- beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: PURCHASE OF A VISION COVER -ALL DURAWEAVE FABRIC
STRUCTURE
ISSUE:
Should the Utilities Department purchase a 32 foot wide, 64 foot long and 25 foot tall
Cover-All Structure to add to storage capacity in the Utility Dept's corporation yard?
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the purchase of a Vision Cover-All Duraweave Fabric covered building in the
amount of $27,675.00.
DISCUSSION:
Background:
The Utilities Department will be installing an emergency generator in an existing building
that currently houses the City's sewer cleaning equipment and maintenance materials.
This generator is currently on a trailer and must be manually set up to provide back up
electrical power in the event of an emergency. Once installed in the building, the
generator will be equipped with an auto transfer switch and be fully automatic.
The generator will displace other equipment. To house this displaced equipment, we
have looked into fabric - covered buildings. We propose a new building (called "Vision
Cover-All Legend ") that will be 32 feet wide by 64 feet long and 25 feet tall. The
building will be covered with a Duraweave Fabric cover with a 15 year warranty and a
Winch -loc tie down system.

The building will come with an engineered set of drawings. It will be constructed of Viper
steel with a Gator Shield anti - corrosive coating, and will be sandstone in color. Utilities
staff will be used to install the new building to minimize cost.
This is where the Building will be placed:
This is what the Building generally will look like:

We believe that this addition to the Utilities Yard is worthy of your attention, and
therefore have brought the issue to the Council for approval.
Three quotes have been received for the building. The lowest quote was received from
Vision Building Systems for 27,675.00
