Summary

Council approved Kramer & Feldman, Inc.'s low bid of $87,000 to construct a police evidence room; the city was told the project will take about 60 days to complete.

Police Chief Christmann introduced a proposal to build a dedicated evidence room for the department and presented bid results during the Jan. 22 Southgate City Council meeting. Jim Kaiser, representing vendor Emboss, recommended Kramer & Feldman, Inc. as the low bidder at $87,000 and said the project "will take 60 days to complete the project." The council approved the contract on a 6–0 vote (Motion: Messmer/Melville).

The project is intended to clear space in the police garage in preparation for the evidence-room construction and to improve chain-of-custody handling for evidence. The city recorded the contract amount and the council asked staff to coordinate scheduling with Kramer & Feldman; no funding source detail beyond the voucher/contract authorization was specified in the meeting minutes.
