Title
Resolution to Approve a Contract with Rickman Enterprise Group, L.L.C. to Paint the Buhr Park Ice Arena Steel Structure ($93,830.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve an $85,300.00 contract with Rickman Enterprise Group, L.L.C. and a $8,530.00 (10%) construction contingency to paint the steel structure of the Buhr Park Ice Arena.
Buhr Park Ice Arena has three open sides and a roof, and has had no major work done to the steel structure since its construction in 1991. Because of the harsh outdoor conditions and humidity caused by the ice rink, portions of the steel are showing signs of rust and deterioration. Cleaning and repainting the structure before it becomes severely deteriorated will prolong the life of the steel structure and avoid expensive replacement and major maintenance in the near future. The new paint is projected to last at least 10-15 years.
A base bid and an alternate bid were requested. The base bid included painting the enameled roof decking, which is in good condition, as it was initially thought that it would be less expensive to paint the decking than protect it from paint overspray. The alternate bid required the enamel roof decking not be painted and that higher quality paint be used on the steel structures.
