Approval of expenditure for
installation of concrete slab in area
adjacentto Motor Poolbuilding
(Public Works)
The attached resolution seeks approval ofa $1,495.00 expenditure to install a six inch
thick concrete slab in the area adjacent (south side)to the Motor Pool building.This
work is required as part ofa building modification to allow for proper mounting and
storage ofan electric generator tobe used in emergency situations,as well asthe
installation ofthe recently purchased wheel alignment and balancing equipment.
The asphalt foundation in this 13 ft.by 25 ft.area is inadequate forthe weight loads
involved with heavy pieces of machinery.This area will also require the installation ofa
metal roofata later date.The specifications for this component are currently being
researched.
Once completed,this project will yield very practical andcost effective results,since it
addresses two equipment issues (a backup generator and vehicle wheel alignment).Based
on this,I recommend thatthe expenditure be approved.

Thankyouforprovidingmewithapricequoteonsuchshortnotice.
The agreed price range for constructing a specially reinforced concrete slab (details sent
in previous transmittal)atour Public Works yard is $4.50 to $5.00 per square foot.
Therefore,aslab measuring 13'x25'wouldcost between $1,462.50and $1,625 to
construct,oraslabmeasuring13'x23'wouldcostbetween$1345.50to$1,495to
construct.
Please review the specifications whenyougetthe chance,andgivemean exact unit cost
($4.50 per square foot,$4.75 per square foot,etc.),this would helpus finalize the exact
slab size we want.
Thanksagainforallyourhelp.
