Construction of City Greenhouse
After receiving the component parts for the greenhouse and
lookin~ over the assembly plans, I feel that it would be
very d~fficult to erect the greenhouse using in-house labor.
With Public Works gearing up for winter; the time factor of
having the facility ready for use next spring; and the
rather intricate details of assembly, I suggest we contract
someone to do the Job.
I visited with Jack Lashot, City Engineer, and after looking
over the plans, he was in agreement.
I contacted Sterchi Construction to get a cost estimate and
his proposal with the City digging the foundation hole and
running the water and electrical lines is $9,600. Public
Works estimate for the water and electrical is $3,000.
An appropriation of $12,600 would be necessary to get the
greenhouse on line.
Council might want to consider putting in a heating unit now
or in the near future so that we can start our own plants
for the beautification program. We would be looking at a
cost of $900 to $1,000 for the heating unit and
installation.
Cost with heater - $13,600.
It appears that we will be coming in under our cost
estimates for the construction and installation of our
restrooms. Using those funds could cut the cost of the
project.
