Proposals received for sandblasting and tuckpointing to prepare the
lobby floor at the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center were
reviewed. Proposals were solicited from several companies with
only three vendors responding. C & C Welding and Sandblasting was
the low bidder for the blasting and Vinton Tuckpointing was the low
bidder on the tuckpointing. Vinton Tuckpointing would like to
rebid the tuckpointing once the sandblasting is complete . They are
not comfortable with their bid for tuckpointing if they cannot
control the sandblasting. It was the recommendation of Building
Maintenance to accept the low bid in the amount of $3, 950 . 00 from
C & C Welding and Sandblasting for the sandblasting and to allow
Vinton Tuckpointing to rebid the tuckpointing once the sandblasting
is complete. Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that the bid of C
& C Welding in the amount of $3, 950 . 00 for sandblasting be approved
and that if less than 25 percent tuckpointing is needed, approve
the bid of Midwest Tuck for an amount not to exceed $7, 000 . Ayes :
Three. Motion carried.
The request of Building Maintenance for authorization to replace
the bird netting on the Park Avenue side of the Five Sullivan
Brothers Convention Center was reviewed. The exposed roof trusses
and canopy design of the center has created a problem with roosting
birds since the facility was constructed. Owl and snake decoys
have been used to frighten birds with no success . Roost No More
was tried, but results were not satisfactory. Nylon fabric netting
was installed several years ago and seems to be the best solution.
Heavy grade fabric is used on the Jefferson, 4th and Commercial

Streets sides which seems to be holding up well after three years
of service. Aable Pest Control has quoted a price of $2, 284 . 00 to
recover the Park Avenue side. It was the recommendation of
Building Maintenance to replace the medium grade fabric netting
with a heavy duty nylon bird netting at a cost not to exceed
$2, 284 . 00 . Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that said
recommendation be approved. Ayes : Three. Motion carried.
The request of Building Maintenance for authorization to purchase
a replacement domestic water heater at the Five Sullivan Brothers
Convention Center was reviewed. The building heating plant
supplies source heat for the domestic hot water during the heating
season. A secondary water heater was installed in 1988 to supply
supplemental hot water during the summer months so they could
operate the boiler at a lower temperature. The heater has
developed leaks in the tank and is in an unsafe condition.
Adequate hot water is required to operate the center' s food
preparation services . Quotes were requested from three vendors
with Plumb Tech submitting the only proposal at a cost of $7, 750 . 00
for replacement of the heater, additional piping and a circulation
pump to bring the installation up to code . It was the
recommendation of Building Maintenance that the quote from Plumb
Tech in the amount of $7, 750 . 00 be accepted. Moved by Getty,
seconded by Krizek that said recommendation be approved. Ayes :
Three . Motion carried.
The request of Building Maintenance for authorization to purchase
building controls for the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention Center
was reviewed. The original equipment controls and valves were
manufactured and maintained by Honeywell . In 1987 Holiday Inn
signed a $30, 000 per year mechanical maintenance agreement with
Landis Gyre Powers. Under this agreement most of the Honeywell
controls were disabled and replaced with Powers controls . Under
the terms of a lease amendment signed with the city in 1993 ,
Holiday Inn canceled the maintenance agreement in January 1995 as
it would be the responsibility of the city to provide 100 percent
of maintenance for the center. The city chose not to renew the
agreement . Building Maintenance has manually regulated valves,
motors and dampers for the past year, evaluating the extent of
repairs and replacements necessary to return all equipment to like-
new condition. The existing building controls are pneumatic.
There have been three component change-outs during the life of the
building. The old system components and air lines were not removed
during these installations. It is difficult to trace lines and
there are many air leaks in the system since most of the inoperable
devices are still on building control pressure. There are three
control panels operating the air handlers in the penthouse. These
panels transfer the electronic messages from the computer into
pneumatic signals to the actuators and electronic messages from the
machines sensors to the computer for processing. Panel #1 which
serves air handler #3 , rooms 21, 22, 23 and the food service
corridor, failed two weeks ago. Environmental Control System is
the only supplier of electronic controls that will integrate with
Powers controls without purchasing additional software.
Environmental Control Systems has proposed the replacement of panel
#1, room thermostats and the installation of high level panel at
the installed cost of $10, 970 . 00 . It was the recommendation of
Building Maintenance that the proposal from Environmental Control
Systems in the amount of $10, 970 . 00 for the replacement of panel #1
and a high level panel for the Five Sullivan Brothers Convention
Center be accepted. Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that said
recommendation be approved. Ayes : Three. Motion carried.
Moved by Getty, seconded by Krizek that the request of the
Superintendent of Sanitation & Recycling to purchase four 300
gallon and two 400 gallon garbage containers at a total cost of
$1, 623 . 00 be approved. Ayes : Three. Motion carried.
