A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A CONTRACT WITH ACCEL BUILDING SYSTEMS, LLC FOR THE PURCHASE AND CONSTRUCTION OF A TEMPORARY SALT STORAGE STRUCTURE; AND DECLARING AN EMERGENCY.
Executive Summary: The Public Works Department has ceased using the 95 Owen Brown Street property including the salt dome so that the area may be used as part of the proposed downtown Phase II development.

Purpose & Explanation
The Service Division has removed all salt, pumps and tanks for its salt and ice control program from 95 Owen Brown Street so that property can be used for the proposed redevelopment. While the construction of a new salt storage facility has begun on Hudson Drive, it will not be completed for use in time for the start of this winter season. In order to accommodate the storage of salt for this winter, staff has explored several options. A temporary, movable and reusable structure makes the most sense in this situation. The structure consists of a tensioned fabric roof sitting atop three course of large concrete block. It can be assembled quickly and reused in other locations in the future. In order to store 3,000 tons of salt (about one-third of our annual usage), the structure will measure 70 feet wide by 154 feet deep. To minimize construction costs, a portion of existing asphalt parking area at the former Youth Development Center will be used to site the structure. The pricing for the project is as follows:
1. Accel Buildings Systems, LLC.......... $213,502.25 (State Terms bid pricing)
2. Clear Span Fabric Structures...................$211,910
Asphalt & Site Prep Cost $28,630
Total Clear Span $240,540
