BACKGROUND:
This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Gutknecht Construction Company for the demolition and construction of salt storage buildings at 500 Scherers Court and 1850 East 25th Avenue.
The current salt storage buildings are in a state of disrepair. It was determined that is is more cost effective to replace the existing salt storage buildings rather than renovate them. This is due to the badly deteriorated gusset plates which are sandwiched between wood roof trusses making them impractical to replace.
The project shall include demolishing and replacing the 90' x 90' salt storage barn at 500 Scherers Court and the 90'x 180' salt storage barn at 1850 East 25th Avenue. The new structures will include fabric covered steel frame roofs, concrete push walls, asphalt pavement, and electric lighting.

The Righter Company $1,307,700.00
