Summary
The council awarded the Public Works exhaust-fan construction contract to J & H Heating (low bid $266,400) and approved Clark Dietz's construction engineering services for $36,240; both measures were approved at the meeting.
The Glendale Common Council approved construction and engineering contracts for a Department of Public Works HVAC/exhaust fan replacement project.
City staff said the project was budgeted and a prior budget amendment raised the HVAC allowance to $470,000. Clark Dietz recommended awarding the construction contract to the low bidder, J & H Heating, at $266,400 after checking references and bid compliance; the total project including other construction work was described as slightly over $302,000. Ben Metzler of Clark Dietz explained the work will replace fans, sensors and other equipment to refresh air inside the Public Works garage and remove vehicle contaminants.
The council moved to award the contract to J & H Heating (moved by Ald. Doherty; second by Ald. Gehlhart) and approved the award by voice vote. The council then approved a construction-phase services agreement with Clark Dietz for $36,240 to provide shop drawings, site visits, pay-request review and record drawings upon completion; that item was moved by Ald. Bailey and seconded by another councilor and passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The work is intended to improve air quality and safety in the public-works garage and was awarded to the low bidder following standard reference checks and a recommended engineering fee for construction administration.
Next steps: Staff and Clark Dietz will proceed with construction administration and coordination with the awarded contractor.
