AGENDA ITEM Item No.: Item Description: Public Works Fencing Date: February 26, 2018 Presenter: Adam T. Edwards Agenda Consent Agenda Public Works Director/City Engineer Section: 1. Purpose. The purpose of this action item is for Council authorization to proceed with installing security fencing and a gate at the public works facility. 2. Background. On several occasion over the past couple of years unauthorized personnel have taken their vehicles into the public works materials yard. This possesses a security risk and liability for the city. The intent is to match the fencing and gate being used at the police department. Due to costs, this proposal does not include fencing around the entire public works facility to eliminate all possibilities of unauthorized foot access but rather focuses on vehicular access. If unauthorized foot access becomes an issue, an additional fencing project could be undertaking in the future. 3. Proposal. In order to control access the city will install 106 feet of 6ft chain link fence, and automatic gate and gate controller at Public Works. 4. Cost. The city solicited quotes from two local fencing contractors listed below. In addition to the fencing and gate cost the city will need to have electrical work completed at around $5,000. So the estimated cost of the low fence quote plus electrical allowance is $22,230 Contractor Quote Northern Specialties, Inc. $17,230 Town and Country Fence $24,990 Funding. The project can be funded by the Equipment Outlay Fund fund. Q As quoted 2018 PW plan 2018 CIP Projected EOY 18 Fund Balance $22,230 $26,000 $26,000 $ 159,855 7. Staff Recommendation.
