ITEM NO.__24____
TO: CITY COUNCIL Z
FROM: PUBLIC WORKS AND GENERAL SERVICES DEPARTMENT
SUBJECT: CITY HALL WINDOW REPLACEMENT (C -2996)
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Approve the plans and specifications.
2. Authorize the City Clerk to advertise for bids to be opened at

DISCUSSION:
This contract provides for the replacement of all steel windows in
the original City Hall building and jail (Recreation) wing. Many of these
• windows are corroded to the extent that they may not be opened or closed as
intended to provide for building ventilation and security.
The contract specifies that the replacement windows shall be
commercial quality units with slider panels to allow for ventilation. Those
windows that expose offices to intense morning or afternoon sun will be
double pane and shaded to reduce the heat gain within offices. The frames
will be clear anodized to protect against corrosion and to eliminate
repainting. Exhaust fans will be installed in the windows to 2 restrooms and
air conditioning units will be reinstalled in 3 windows.
The contract requires that security be provided to any portion of
the building where windows are being replaced. The contract also allows work
to be done at any time, in an effort to minimize the duration of disturbance to
City Hall operations. Work is to be completed within 27 consecutive calendar
days after the start of construction or by July 1, 1994, whichever occurs first.
The specifications and estimate for the project were prepared by
• Public Works Department staff. Staffs estimate for the work is $100,000.
Adequate funds are available in the City Hall maintenance program
appropriation to award this amount.
