REQUESTED RECOMMENDS
A-3 Library HVAC Renovation $ 365,000 $ 365,000
In 2015 the Library hired Peregrine Energy Group to evaluate the system. They found 2 of the air handlers are at the
end of their service life and all 3 of the condensers at or near the end of their service life. (In fact one of the
condensers failed in 2018 and was replaced) They have recommended complete replacement of many components
along with the reconditioning of others and the installation of 12 additional VAV dampers at a total cost of
approximately $400,000. Not only will the renovation of our HVAC system save on repair bills it will vastly increase
the efficiency of the system resulting in significant energy savings and increased comfort for staff and customers.
Due to the age of the original report and estimated cost increases the budget has increased by 5%.
A-3 Library Brick Repointing $ 275,000 $ 275,000
There are 24 alcoves on the top story of the library that extend out past the main structure that require repointing and
cleaning of the brick. The deterioration of the mortar is causing water infiltration in a number of areas whenever it
rains, causing the interior paint to blister, puddles to form on the rubber floor and soaking the carpeting.
Division of
A-3 Public Works Overhead Doors
(Street Department) $ 169,000 $ 169,000
The Street Department facility is in need of new overhead doors as the condition of the doors has degraded and
requires constant repairs due to the age of them. Many doors have been impacted by the weather and have rusted
out panels with holes in the doors. The doors are over twenty years old and have constant repairs made to the
motors and the track system. These doors are a vital part of the facility.
Division of City Wide Park and Playground
A-3 Public Works Improvements
(Park and Rec) $ 200,000 $ 200,000

swings, slides and other equipment repair to the basketball court are needed. Improvements of lighting, fencing,
signage and pruning of and removing some trees and general repairs and upgrades to the surrounding area are also
needed.
