Committee approves resurfacing at O'Fallon Station; staff to seal cracks and monitor condition
Summary
The committee recommended resurfacing the O'Fallon Station interior floor with a polished concrete finish and a clear coating; staff said cracks will receive sealing and the project uses contingency funds from the current year rather than waiting for FY26.
The committee recommended a contract to resurface the interior floor at O'Fallon Station, removing the existing paint finish and applying a polished concrete surface with durable clear coatings. Staff said the work will improve durability and aesthetics and that the same contractor performed work on recent park restrooms.
Staff told the committee the cracks in the existing floor have been monitored for about a year. The planned work will include crack sealing as part of the surface preparation; if cracks worsen after the patch and seal measures the city may need to remove and replace sections of concrete and address underlying subgrade stability.
“This is the resurfacing of it. This money was budgeted in the FY '26 budget. However, it was coming out of contingency. So since it was coming out of contingency next year, we're just gonna go ahead and use that contingency from this year,” a staff member said, explaining why the project was advanced now.
The staff presentation said the city received multiple quotes and selected the lowest-cost vendor (Desco) from four quotes. Committee members asked about warranties; staff said there may be a workmanship warranty but could not confirm the exact term during the meeting and said they would check vendor warranty specifics.
The committee voted to forward the project to the council as a recommended use of contingency funds to allow the work to occur before a planned building opening in May.
Ending: Staff will verify warranty terms with the contractor and forward the recommendation to the city council for final approval.
