6. REGULAR AGENDA
A. Approve Roof Plans and Specifications
Recommendation: Review and approve the plans, set bid date, and award contract for
temp ballast system.
Board chair Posel stated we have several items to address related to the repair of the roof. Posel
turned it over to Crystal Raleigh to walk us through our actions today.
Crystal Raleigh stated that there are three items to review. These items included plans/specs, set
the bid date and approve the temp ballast system. Crystal Raleigh said the bid documents for the
roof would go out in early May with bids hopefully being received back by mid to late May for the
roofing project.
Jennifer Levitt mentioned that the League of MN Cities (LMC) has already reviewed the plans.
Crystal Raleigh mentioned there were no comments from Chris Otto from LMC regarding the plans
sent for review. Crystal Raleigh mentioned the temp ballast system was put together by LEO A
DALY. Two quotes were obtained. One quote was for a gravel temp ballast system and the other
quote was for a paver block system. Concerns were raised by Crystal Raleigh to Chris Otto with LMC
about how much more it would cost to remove the gravel prior to the roof replacement versus the
paver blocks. Chris Otto with LMC approved the Central Roofing Company for $49,775.00 with the
paver temporary ballast system.
Crystal Raleigh mentioned that LEO A DALY offered some enhancements to the roof system to
make the system more durable to prevent this from happening again. This included additional
supports in the corners of the roof membrane etc.
Posel asked for a motion to approve the plans and specifications and approve the bid date for the
roof project. Motion made by Jennifer Levitt and seconded by Pete Koerner. Motion carried 5-0.
Posel then asked for motion to award the service agreement for the temp ballast contract now that
we have approval from LMC. Motion made by Brenda Malinowski and 2nd by Angela Gorall.
Motion carried 5-0.
7. ADJOURNMENT
Board chair Posel asked for a motion to adjourn the meeting. Motion to adjourn made by Brenda
Malinoski and seconded by Pete Koerner. Motion approved 5-0. Meeting adjourned at 9:18 A.M.
