Title
Engineering for Phone Line Relocation at FLC Serving Civic Campus
History
While preparing for construction at the Franklin Loebe Center, it was noted that phone, data, alarm, and fiber optic lines located outside of the Franklin Loebe Center entrance need to be re-routed to accommodate the work. The work was originally to be a part of the overall construction project; however due to complexity of the project, the architect is recommending that this work be bid separately. This work must be completed before the FLC addition construction can begin.
This work will also solve many long-standing problems with the campus systems. These lines control the Village complex and maintain voice and data communications between the Village Hall, FLC, Civic Center and the Recreation Administration buildings. Six hundred pair of lines are in the ground currently with over one third deteriorated and unusable due to age. The plan is to install new banks of 300 and 100 pair lines and a new fiber optic run. The architect, Studio GC, Inc., will secure the services to perform the scope of work for this project at a cost of $9,730.00.
On March 4, 2103, this item was reviewed and approved by the Recreation & Parks Committee and referred to the Village Board for approval.
Financial Impact
The funds will come from the Building Maintenance, Building & Building Maintenance account - 010-1700-470100.
Recommended Action/Motion
I move to approve Studio GC, Inc. quote not to exceed $9,730.00 for the engineering services required to re-locate the phone and fiber optic lines at the Franklin Loebe Center entrance.
