Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Director of Finance and Management to enter into contract for the Office of Construction Management with Ardmore Construction Management and Engineering for the renovation of the kitchen in Fire Station No. 2, located at 150 East Fulton Street. Work will include an upgrade of the kitchen and dining areas with new cabinets, new plumbing, paint, windows, window coverings, and furniture. In an effort to minimize cost, no new appliances will be purchased.
Fire Station No. 2's kitchen was renovated in the late 1980's; however, the current kitchen is in a state of disrepair and in need of renovation. Numerous cabinet doors are missing or falling apart. The missing cabinet doors allow exposure of various cleaning chemicals and cooking equipment. The renovation will also include the removal of old plumbing equipment and fixtures and the installation of new plumbing equipment and fixtures. A grease interceptor will be added, as it is required by City Code. The window replacement is for the kitchen area only. The current kitchen windows are single pane with metal frames and are not energy efficient.
