REVIEWED BY: City Manage
At the March 13 meeting, Council requested that staff review the possibility
of providing a protective enclosure around the stair wells to prevent
individuals from accidentally injuring themselves. The situation was
investigated by staff and found that a solution is possible with the
installation of an iron railing identical to the existing one. The addition
of a lockable swing gate to the grillwork will aid in collecting trash that
will invariably accummulate in that confined space. Bids were requested in
conformance with the City's informal bid procedure. Two bids were received.
Alpha Iron Works $1350
H&M Wrought Iron Factory $1400
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt the resolution accepting bids
and awarding contract to Alpha Iron Works and authorize the expenditure of
funds.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
The addition to the railing at the base of the stairs has the potential for
detracting from the appearance of the stairway at the "F" Street entrance to
the parking structure. This is the only area where the metal railing
installation is intended. However, it has been noted that the hazard for
physical injury, no matter how remote, outweighs the aesthetics.
Additionally, the railing can be installed with very little, if any disruption
to the traffic flow in and out of the structure.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funds are available from the Certificates of Participation
for the parking structure in the amount of $ 267,000 balance remaining.
