FINANCIAL STATEMENT:
Total budgeted in C.I.P. #9392:
Expended to date:
Remaining for additional work:
$25,000.00
5.762.74
$19,237.26
DESCRIPTION: This project was developed to locate and resolve several rainwater
leaks in the Civic Center building that appear to be coming from exterior walls. To date, below-grade
waterproofing has been installed in two areas (outside the Police records office and outside an area of
Development Services) where water appeared to be coming from the area at which the wall meets the
concrete slab. This project also funded sealing of downspouts on the roof and cleaning the white metal
panels at the entrance to the Civic Center.
Some rainwater leakage is still occurring. It has been recommended by both the Civic Center architect and
by a waterproofing contractor that the stone surface of the building be sprayed with an elastomeric material
which would seal the stone and fill cracks and imperfections in the grout between the stones. The
architect's recommendation was that the stone be sealed not only as a means of eliminating some of the
water leaks but also from the standpoint that the waterproofing material would keep the stone from
deteriorating. An initial cost estimate for the work is approximately $28,000, which exceeds the remaining
budget for this project; however, in a competitive bid situation, the cost may ultimately be less. Staffhas
prepared the bid proposal to include two alternates, in the event that the bids do exceed the budget:
1) Seal the Police Wing only at this time. (Sealing of the Administrative Wing could be
included in next fiscal year's budget.)
2) Seal the entire Civic Center at this time.
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize solicitation of bids for this waterproofing work.
