AGENDA TITLE: Approve Plans and Specifications and Authorize Advertisement for Bids for
Municipal Services Center Security Fence Improvement Project
MEETING DATE: January 15, 2020
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION- Approve plans and specifications and authorize advertisement for
bids for Municipal Services Center Security Fence Improvement
Project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project includes replacing roughly 330 feet of security fencing,
a pedestrian gate, and an updated automated vehicular gate, at the
Municipal Services Center (MSC), located at 1331 South Ham Lane.
The existing chain link vehicular access gate was intended to be opened and closed once during the
work day and minimally on weekends. To enhance security at MSC, the gate now remains closed and
must be opened multiple times an hour as each vehicle enters and exits the facility. The current
automatic gate was not designed or constructed to operate under these more demanding conditions, and
is prone to derailing from its track and tipping over.
The existing fence is chain link and does not provide the security needed to meet today's requirements.
The proposed fence is eight -foot high wrought iron fencing with pickets at the top and replicates the
security fence design recently constructed at the Transit Center and Surface Water Treatment Facility,
which has proven to be secure and functional.
The plans and specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date
is February 12, 2020. The project estimate is $250,000.
FISCAL IMPACT: This project will minimize the ongoing maintenance costs to the chain link
gate and will reduce the likelihood of equipment stored in the yard from
being stolen. This project will not impact the General Fund.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award.
