Moone <br />Title City Administrator <br />Adniabtrator Reviewed:Agenda Section: <br />City Administrator’s Report <br />Item Description: Invoice for Long Lake Fire Station Epoxy Floor Upgrade <br />Background <br />The initial epoxy floor installed in the Long lake Fire Station apparatus bay was defective. <br />When the flooring subcontractor, Diversified Coatings, was preparing to repair the floor, they <br />installed a test patch by replacing the floor in a single section of the apparatus bay, to ensure the <br />repair would hold up to truck traffic, etc. In installing the test patch. Diversified mistakenly <br />installed an upgraded, more slip>iesistant, flooring surface. The installation of the upgraded <br />surface on the entire floor would have cost $20,000. The Cities initially indicated they were not <br />willing to pay the entire $20,000 for the upgrade. Rather than tearing up the test patch and <br />starting over, Diversified agreed to provide the upgraded floor surface for an additional cost of <br />$5,000. The Long Lake Fire Advisory Commission agreed to accept the offer for the upgraded <br />flooring. <br />Recommendation <br />The upgraded flooring has now been installed. Staff recommends approval of the payment of <br />$5,000 to Diversified Coatings. <br />COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED <br />Motion to approve the payment of $5,000 to Diversified Coatings for the epoxy floor upgrade, to <br />be paid from the Joint Fire Station Construction Fund.
