9.d) Quotes for Salt/Sand Storage Structure Meeting Date: 9/21/10 Agenda Item: � � � % �7, City Council Agenda Report City of Scandia 14727 209`h St. North Scandia, MN 55073 (651) 433-2274 ACtion Review options and quotes for construction of the salt/sand storage structure at Requested: the Public Works building. Deadline/ N/A Timeline: Background: • The City Council budgeted $80,000 from the Capital Improvement Fund for the construction of a salt storage building in 2010. This project was recommended by the Capital Improvement Committee in 2007. The shelter would allow the City to have supplies on hand when needed, make fewer trips to the County public works facility or other suppliers during snow events and protect the mix from the elements. • Approximately in 2001, a 42' wide by 30' deep slab with 3'l 0" high 8" thick walls was poured for the storage of salt on site. • The options evaluated by staff are summarized on the attached chart. Staff obtained quotes on three basic types of buildings: a post framed pole-barn type building that would be built around the current slab (proposals A, B & C); a wood-framed building to be constructed on the existing slab and knee walls (proposal D 1) and a C1earSpan Truss Arch fabric structure (proposals D2, E1 and E2.) All of the options would be about the same height (16 feet) and include a 14-foot high overhead door. • Staff also obtained quotes on two different sizes of buildings; a completely enclosed structure the depth of the current slab (proposals C, D1, D2 and E 1) and another with one side open but 10 feet longer(proposals A, B and E2.) Without a back wall the building was cheaper, and offered better ventilation to remove the buildup of condensation that the salt creates. The extra covered space behind the salt storage area could be utilized for storage of bulky items like the Goose Lake aerator, snow plows, etc., while still providing shelter for the salt/sand mix. • The most economical structures are proposals A and B�4' x 40' conventional pole buildings built around the existing slab ($23,000 to $26,650.) They offer the most space for the money. However, these buildings are not designed for salt storage, so staff would recommend some modifications to make them more suitable for that purpose. Specifically, '/2" treated plywood would be nailed to the bottom chord of the trusses to provide protection against the salt condensation. A ridge vent and gable end vent should be added for ventilation of the attic area. We should also continue discontinuing the steel walls at 3 feet above grade (where the Page 1 09/17/10 concrete knee wall would be on the inside) to reduce rusting of the walls. The steel comes with a lifetime warranty but staff could not get a response on how salt storage might affect the warranty. • Proposal C, from Morton Buildings, is also a wood post, fully-enclosed building that would be built around the existing slab. Instead of inetal roof and walls, the roof would be asphalt shingles over plywood, and the walls would be low-maintenance Hardi-panel siding. All connectors would be stainless steel. It may be more attractive than the metal structures, but is the most expensive option ($36,616) and does not include the extra storage space included in proposals A and B. • Proposal D1, from Greystone Construction, is for a wood frame, fully- enclosed metal structure built on top of the existing knee walls, with an additional 4-foot wall of treated plywood above the concrete knee walls as protection. The trusses would have plywood gussets rather than steel gussets because of the corrosiveness of the salt. This building would look like a 42'x 30' steel pole building sitting on top of the concrete walls. This option is more expensive than A and B ($34,175) and should be more durable. It does not, however, offer additional storage space. • The fabric structure (C1earSpan) is the most common type of building used for the storage of salt. The steel truss system is clad with a corrosive resistant exterior and the building is rated for Minnesota wind and snow loads. The building would completely enclose the salt pile and would have a fabric entrance on the south end that would allow for the front end loader to enter. (Fabric structures considered in the past were made by CoverAll; those structures are no longer available.) • Staff received 2 proposals for ClearSpan buildings; one from Greystone Construction for a 42' x 30' structure (proposal D2, $33,200), and directly from C1earSpan (proposals E 1 and E2.) C1earSpan's quote for the 42' x 30' structure (E1) was less than Greystone's, but did not include tax and the concrete piers that will be necessary for the overhead door. Shipping may also be more than quoted, so we estimate the total cost would be slightly higher ($33,550.) C1earSpan also quoted a price for a larger fabric structure that would be open on one end, allowing for additional covered storage at the north end of the building. The cost would be less because of the need for one less wall, but there would be some additional costs to construct a knee wall on the north end and add the concrete piers, etc., bringing the total estimated cost to $31,400. • We did not receive a quote for the larger C1earSpan structure from Greystone. However, staff expects that we may be able to negotiate a price comparable to what would be available directly from C1earSpan. Recommend- We recommend that we proceed as soon as possible with construction of the ation: salt/sand storage building. Having the material on hand will save time during snow plowing events and improve safety for employees and the public. Each of the options quoted have their advantages and disadvantages. If the Council prefers a wood-framed building over the fabric structure, we would recommend that you consider the Morton building over the less-expensive Page 2 09/17/10 alternatives. It would be more durable and maintenance-free than the metal buildings, and may be considered by some to be superior in appearance to the metal buildings. If the Council finds the fabric (ClearSpan) structure to be acceptable, we would recommend that we work with Greystone Construction. They are a local (MN) company and can provide all the services needed to construct the building. We would recommend we ask them for a quote on the larger (42' x 40') building, with one open end to allow for some additiona] covered storage space.

Located at their most recently commissioned mill in Columbia City, IN,the Structural and Rail Division is the only facility in the world that can weld rail into 1,600'lengths. Says Steve Messina,civil engineer on site, "In the last few years, SDI has developed a state-of-the-art facility that stretches nearly 3,100',which gives us the ability to weld rail to such lengths." He continues, "This mill also has the capability to produce wide flange beams, H- piling, angles, channels and sheet piling." To ensure year-round production of long welded rail,a structure over part of the faci►ity was necessary to protect equipment and rail product from the weather According to Messina, "The decision was made to 2 construct a fabric structure instead of a metal structure because of the cost savings and expeditious time to construct."The company chose an 83'wide by 336'8"long ClearSpan Hercules Truss Arch Building. "It is installed over the'transfer bed'," Messina explains, "which is where rail is temporarily stored and transferred from the unloading process to the welding process. It keeps out wind and rain, and we expect it to keep out snow as well." The quick and easy construction made the ClearSpan structure the ideal solution for SDI. Messina says, "Having a shorter start-to-finish timeline always simplifies construction and seems to make everyone happy. The material that was used was lightweight and easy to put together due to the simple connections,which ultimately made construction much safer." 4'�s�i v� rc�va► a� v+�w�w.�t EA�t'SrPAh.c:u�� .8UC}.603.444 5 Steve Thorp, Keep in touch with us!
