Public Works Salt Storage Building Glass Block Replacement - Bid Award
History
The salt storage building located at Public Works was built in 2005 with precast concrete wall sections with windows consisting of 8”x8” glass block. All eight (8) glass block window units began cracking a few years ago and some of the glass has fallen, creating safety & aesthetics concerns. Staff requested the village’s architectural consultant, Studio GC, to review the situation and provide bid documents for replacing the glass block windows. They determined the breakage was the result of differential movement between the glass blocks and concrete walls. The recommended replacement is with translucent fiberglass panels, similar to those used at other village facilities. Because both interior and exterior access are required for the work it is the intent of the replacement project for demolition and construction to be completed prior to the start of the upcoming snow season, when the storage facility is filled with salt.
