The Joint Powers Board met on Wednesday, October 13, 2010 with the
following members present: Alan Gregg, Dennis Falken, Mike Bartley, and John
Kubal. Also in attendance were Stephanie Ellwein and Jeff Weldon.
REGULAR BUSINESS
Chairperson Bartley called the meeting to order.
Motion by Gregg, seconded by Kubal to approve the minutes from the
September 29, 2010 Joint Powers Board Meeting. Vote 4 ayes, 0 nos. Motion
carried.
The board reviewed the Construction Finance Report. City Manager, Jeff
Weldon provided the background information on the report. It was noted that
the report showed the costs spent through October 9, 2010.
City Manager, Jeff Weldon reported that the Zoning Commission has approved
the zoning of the administration building site to be B1.
Bossardt and Cannon Moss discussed value engineering options in which the
board could consider for potential cost savings. Jeff Weldon provided the
background information on the options that the organizations had presented to
him. The board reviewed the proposed changes and then placed a call to Tom
Minter with Bossardt Corporations as well as Todd & Brent the architects from
Cannon Moss to discuss the proposed changes in greater detail.
The construction manager presented $487,000 in cost saving opportunities
through value engineering. The board decided on the following:
Division 5 (Metals), the JPB will likely accept both these items subject to
refining the load requirement in areas where appropriate for the live/dead
weight. The board does not want to use plexiglass in the rails and are having
the architects re-design this and come up with something else.
Division 9 (Finishes), the JPB is going to contemplate these items a little longer
since we have a little time. Some of these items may work as alternates in the
bid pack.
With regard to Division 15 (Mechanical) we will accept the PEX piping and the
others identified as TBD provided all the consultants agree noth ing in terms of
performance of the mechanical system is compromised. The construction
manager will continue to develop numbers on these items.
We will accept the display case $10,000 as an allowance added to the cabinetry
section. The JPB may consider soliciting a donation for this item.
We will accept the $25,000 for the exterior brick sculpture, again, possibly
soliciting a donation for this amount.
The JPB will get an answer back to the consultants within one week resolving
the optional full basement issue.

meeting adjourned until 7:30 a.m. Wednesday, November 10, 2010.
