Municipal Building: First Floor Entry Renovation
end
Suggested Action:
recommendation
I move that the Mayor and Council authorize the City Administrator to enter into a design/build agreement with Keller Construction Management for the renovation of the first-floor entryway at 4310 Gallatin Street at a cost not to exceed $200,000. The contract agreement authorization is subject to the legal review and approval by the City Attorney.

Summary Background:
In response to the Coronavirus pandemic, City staff has evaluated the physical space and well as operational updates and other changes to make public spaces more resistant to the spread of the Coronavirus and other bacteria and viruses. One option studied by staff was to create a reception area on the first floor. This reception area would allow the majority of residents to come and conduct their business with the City without having to enter the building or be exposed to staff workspaces. In addition space would be created for residents to talk with staff members on the first floor without having to enter office spaces.
Next Steps:
Award the contract and begin construction.
Fiscal Impact:
NTE $200,000
City Administrator Comments:
Recommend Support.
Community Engagement:
A first-floor reception is not only safer from a public health standpoint, it also is a more customer friendly building design.
Strategic Goals:
Goal 3 - Promote a Safe and Vibrant Community
