body
DEPARTMENT: Water Utilities
SUBMITTED BY: Darrell Blenniss
BACKGROUND:
In April 2023, the City Manager awarded Work Order Water 23-02 to contract 18-032 to Kluber Inc. The purpose of the work order was to conduct a space needs assessment for Water Utilities. Tasks included inspection of the condition of existing structures and developing deferred maintenance schedules, as well as an evaluation of existing square footage needs and how those needs might change in the future for each of the department’s working groups.
DISCUSSION:
During on-site visits by Kluber staff, the need to evaluate garage space was identified. While this space does not house any employees, storing equipment is essential to the operation of the Water Utilities. Including this storage space into account is critical to obtaining a comprehensive assessment of the department’s space needs not only for employees and vehicles, but equipment as well.
Staff recommends approval of a change order to support property condition work, deferred maintenance schedule development, and space needs for this additional square footage.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Water Utility Space Needs Assessment is expensed to the account number listed below. A total of $50,000 was budgeted for this service in 2023 of which $25,085 has been expensed. The requested change order is accommodated within the budget.
