City Council Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:

01/16/2024

BACKGROUND

The EMS Kitchen in Building 7 has the original stove, vent hood, cabinets and countertops from when the building was constructed in 1999. The kitchen needs to be remodeled to bring all items up to standard and code. A new stove, cabinet doors, and countertops need to be installed along with a vent hood with an Ansul/fire suppression system to meet the current building/fire-safety code requirements. This project was approved with PO 24-49918 for $48,028.87. The original quote was submitted during the summer with plans to begin the approval process at the start of FY 23-24. The original vent hood quoted has a manufactured "lead-time" of 50+ weeks due to uncontrollable circumstances. The only vent hood the vendor was able to find in stock and performs the same way as the original has dimensions that are 1 foot larger and the vent hood, and labor to install is more expensive. This change pushes the total project cost over $50,000.00 which requires City Council approval.
