RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 16-43 approving the plans and specifications for the Council Chamber Renovations Project (CIP No. 10075); and 2. Authorize the City Clerk to advertise to receive bids. FISCAL IMPACT Sufficient funds have been budgeted and appropriated in this Fiscal Year 2016-2017 Capital Improvement Program for the Council Chamber Renovations Project (CIP No. 10075) Construction Project. The engineer's estimate with contingency for the project is $835,000. CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN The Council Chambers Renovations Project contributes to the fulfillment of the City's Strategic Plan Goal B: Public Safety and Protection of Assets. Specifically, the project implementation of Strategy 3, which among other items, is to ensure continuous improvement of public facilities. BACKGROUND Last year, the Police Department conducted a threat assessment for several City facilities to analyze security and protection. The mission was to make recommendations that would strengthen safety and provide provisions for enhanced security. The City Council Chamber was part of this evaluation. A vigilant examination of primary access points to the facility was conducted as well as key public access areas. The result of the study was that the Council Chamber was vulnerable in various aspects. A team of City staff members was assembled to work on this project. The team consists of members from the City Manager's Office, Police, Finance/IT and Public Works Departments. 6 City Council Chamber Renovations August 16, 2016 Page 2 The team enlisted Griffin Structures, Inc. (construction management) and LPA, Inc. (architecture) to assist in developing a precise scope of work. During the process the following items were considered: • Installation of ballistic hardening in key areas to include fixed security posts for police department personnel. Included. • Reconfiguration of and type of audience seating (i.e. number and location of aisles, bench seating in some locations vs. chairs in all areas, etc). It was determined that the most cost effective solution is replacement of the audience seating in its current configuration. Included. • Reconfiguration of the area to the right of the podium to accommodate large groups for presentation. Included. • Integrate audio visual components into a low -voltage electrical plan. Included. • Review lighting design and convert to LED. Included. Various aesthetic finishes were added to the scope as a result of installing the assisted listening devices and audio visual components. For example, the assisted listening device will require that a cable be installed under the carpet around the perimeter of the room to provide coverage for the hearing impaired. Also, the wall coverings need to be replaced due to the new placement of the audio visual equipment. The plans and specifications have been completed and this project is now ready to advertise for bid.
