<br />REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />FEBRUARY 22, 2005 <br /> <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br /> <br />TITLE: <br /> <br />CONTRACT AMENDMENT FOR <br />INSTALLATION OF A STORAGE SHED <br />(SPEC. NO. 05-018) <br /> <br />APPROVED <br />o As Recommended <br />o As Amended <br />o Ordinance on 1 st Reading <br />o Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />o Implementing Resolution <br />o Set Public Hearing For <br /> <br />bLAJa <br /> <br />- - <br /> <br />CONTINUED TO <br /> <br />FILE NUMBER <br /> <br />CITY MANAGER <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br /> <br />Amend the contract with Tuff Shed to increase the aggregate limit by <br />$10,000 for the installation of a storage shed in an annual amount not <br />to exceed $15,000. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Fire Department is preparing to take deli very of three new fire <br />apparatuses. Much of the equipment, valued in excess of $150,000, is <br />currently stored outdoors. A secure storage unit is necessary to <br />protect the equipment when the station is unattended while personnel <br />respond to calls. <br /> <br />In June of 2004, a formal bid was prepared and bids were solicited for <br />similar custom-built sheds for the Fire Department. However, due to <br />the high costs, a contract was not formally awarded. Subsequently, the <br />City solicited an informal quotation from Tuff Shed and purchased <br />prefabricated sheds at a lower cost. The recommended action will allow <br />for the installation of an additional shed. The cost of the purchase, <br />when combined with previous purchases by the Fire Department during the <br />current fiscal year exceeds the $10,000 aggregate limit and requires <br />City Council approval. <br /> <br />22H-1 <br /> <br />CS 383 <br />
