TITLE
AN ORDINANCE APPROPRIATING $26,542.00 FROM THE SEWER USER
FUND AND APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO
AND SATELLITE SHELTERS, INC. FOR THE PURCHASE OF A SEVEN -
OFFICE MODULAR BUILDING
ISSUE
Should the City Council approve a purchase agreement between the City of
Pueblo and Satellite Shelters, Inc. for the purchase of a seven -office modular
building?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Elements of the Public Works Department, the Wastewater Utility Department,
the Stormwater Utility Department, the Planning Department, and the Land Use
Department occupy the municipal office building located at 211 East "D" Street.
The building houses 32 employees in approximately 3,060 square feet of office
space. With the creation in 2003 of the Stormwater Utility Department, and with
authorized staff expansion in the Planning and Land Use Departments, a number
of employees are sharing workspace and there is insufficient space to perform
their duties efficiently. The reception and meeting areas for conferences with
private citizens and businesses are inadequate. Within the next six months,
three additional employees including a new Land Use Planner, the GIS
Coordinator from Information Technologies, and the Deputy Public Works
Director will require office space at Public Works.
A modular office building will provide temporary relief for the overcrowding by
adding 1,366 square feet of space for seven additional offices, as well as
additional restrooms, storage, and meeting area.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for this project will come from the Sewer User Fund. Funding in the
amount of $100,000 was appropriated in the 2004 budget based on an estimated
cost for the project. An additional $26,542.00 is appropriated by this ordinance to
cover the cost of the actual purchase price for the modular building.
A bid summary showing the bids received from vendors is attached.
