MEMORANDUM
TO:
Mayor Gabriel and Council Members
THROUGH:
Terry Eubank, City Manager
FROM:
Scott Curtin, Public Works Director
DATE:
April 25, 2023
SUBJECT:
Resolution 2023-30 - Vintage Pointe Boiler Design & Replacement
The purpose of this memo is to request Council's approval to reallocate capital project funding
within the Congregate Housing Improvement Capital fund. Funding for the Vintage Pointe Fire
Alarm / Control System Upgrade project was provided through adoption of the FY2019 budget.
Since that time, with the assistance of consultants, it has come to our understanding that the Fire
Alarm Control Panel is not in need of replacement at this time. There were specific devices tied
to the system, sensors and strobes as example that were not operating correctly. Those have
and continue to be replaced as part of routine annual maintenance within the facility. The funding
previously provided for that project, with passage of this Resolution, will now be used in support
of the boiler replacement project.
RSA Engineering has provided final construction documents to the City on April 14th, 2023 for our
final reviews. With the transfer of these funds, in the total amount of $128,744.21, the project is
anticipated to be bid in early May with completion expected within six months.
This is a priority project for the seniors residing at Vintage Pointe. Completion of the work will
safeguard the facilities heating system for years to come and is expected to provide utility cost
savings with the improved efficiencies the new equipment will provide.
Additionally within the current design, backup power generation equipment is listed as an additive
alternate. Staff combined the design efforts to save on costs. The current budget and recently
approved Capital Improvement Plan includes $100,000 to purchase the backup power equipment
after July 1st. Assuming project costs come in as anticipated, a contract amendment to the
successful contractor awarding the additive alternate will be completed. Completion of the backup
power generation equipment will provide further safeguards to the facility.

Council's approval is respectfully requested.
