[SPECIAL AGENDA]
UP TO SPEAK. WE WILL MOVE TO OUR SPECIAL AGENDA, THEN 2 TO 0 TO 68 CONSIDER DISCUSS ACT ON A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CHANGE ORDER TO THE DESIGN BUILD AGREEMENT WITH WESTERN SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS FOR PHASE TWO B DESIGN BUILD SERVICES RELATED TO THE MCKINNEY SILOS. RESTORATION PROJECT. GOOD AFTERNOON. PATRICIA JACKSON, FACILITIES CONSTRUCTION MANAGER FOR THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. I APOLOGIZE FOR THE NEED FOR A MEETING TODAY. BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING TIME IN YOUR SCHEDULES TO TALK ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE DOGHOUSE. I DID LOOK UP THE DOGHOUSE AND I THINK IT'S A HOLDOVER FROM ELEVATOR TERMINOLOGY THAT THE HIGH HAT AND IN A ELEVATOR SO IN THE GRAIN ELEVATOR SILOS WITH EMPRESS, WOULD YOU BRING UP THE IMAGE THAT I ASK YOU TO. JUST IN CASE SOME OF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW A GRAIN ELEVATOR OPERATES JUST A LITTLE HISTORY HERE WHEN TRUCKS COME IN AND DUMP THEIR LOAD DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF A PIT OR AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GRAIN ELEVATOR. THERE IS A CONVEYING SYSTEM. IT TAKES IT TO THE TOP. THE TOP OF THAT IS CALLED THE HEAD HOUSE OR THE DOGHOUSE. IT'S WHERE THE HEAD END EQUIPMENT, THE HEAD OF THAT EQUIPMENT THAT BRINGS THE ELEVATOR UP, AND THEN IT'S DISTRIBUTED THROUGH CHUTES AND OTHER CONVEYING METHODOLOGY TO THE INDIVIDUAL SILOS. WELL OUR HEAD HOUSE OR DOGHOUSE IS IN REALLY TOUGH SHAPE. I'VE GIVEN EACH ONE OF YOU A COPY OF CONDITION ASSESSMENT FOR THAT DOGHOUSE AND SOME OF THE CHALLENGES IS THAT APPARENTLY WA PARTICULAR PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED. SO I DON'T GET OUT MY ENGINEERING SEAL OFTEN THESE DAYS, BUT I WROTE A LETTER AND SIGNED AND SEALED IT, SAYING THAT THIS NEEDS TO COME DOWN IMMEDIATELY. IT'S A PUBLIC SAFETY HAZARD. SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET IN FRONT OF YOU AS QUICKLY AS WE CAN. THIS AMENDMENT TO BE IS THE FINAL PIECE FOR THE REHABILITATION. THE, UM DEMOLITION OF THE DOGHOUSE IS PART OF IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE ITEM THAT YOU HAD LAST WEEK. THE REMAINDER OF IT IS INCLUDED IN THIS AGENDA ITEM AND WOULD LIKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GET THAT DONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE ONCE WESTERN SPECIALTY CONTRACTORS STARTS ON THE DEMOLITION, AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO NET IT. TAKE IT DOWN A PIECE AT A TIME BECAUSE IT IS IN SUCH TOUGH SHAPE THAT THEY'RE AFRAID THAT ONCE THEY START TAKING IT DOWN, IT WILL COME DOWN MORE READILY THAN THEY HAD HOPED IT WOULD. SO WE'RE GOING TO GET GOING THERE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW AND DOING A LITTLE WORK ON GETTING ACCESS TO THE VARIOUS PIECES AND STUFF. BUT IF WE CAN GET YOUR FAVORABLE CONSIDERATION OF THIS AGENDA ITEM, THEN WE CAN GET GOING AND IT'LL BE A FEW WEEKS BEFORE YOU START SEEING IT COME DOWN BECAUSE WE'VE GOT TO GET ALL THE SAFETY EQUIPMENT IN THE NETTING UP AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THAT. BUT WANTED TO GET IN FRONT OF YOU AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND GET THIS APPROVED, HOPEFULLY TO PROCEED IN THE REHABILITATION THE REST OF THE FUNDING AND YOU SAW THE PROPOSAL IN THE AGENDA ITEM. IS FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE REHABILITATION THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN ON THE CONCRETE SILOS THEMSELVES. THERE'S ALSO ON THE BACK PAGE OF THE LITTLE HANDOUT . I SHOWED YOU THIS IS WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN WE TAKE THE DOGHOUSE DOWN JUST A LITTLE BIT OF A THE PAGE PREVIOUS IS WHAT THE DOGHOUSE THE DOGHOUSE IS PRETTY BIG. IT'S ABOUT A 15 BY 25 FT. IN AREA BY 25 FT. TALL IT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE OF ENTIRELY DIFFERENT TYPE OF CONCRETE BECAUSE IT'S IN REALLY TOUGH SHAPE. IT'S FALLING AND CRACKING, AND THEY'VE REUSED SOME REMEDIAL MEASURES TO TRY TO SHORE IT UP ALL THIS TIME, BUT IT NEEDS TO COME DOWN AND SO I ASKED FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION ON GETTING THIS CONTRACT IN PLACE TO GET THIS STATE TAKEN DOWN. INTO THE INTRODUCTION OF MATERIALS TESTING. THAT'S RIGHT SOME PERIOD TIME. UM OBVIOUSLY BEING THAT IT'S NOT BEING PROPOSED TO COME DOWN THE PORTION OF IT THAT IS TO THE HEIGHT OF THE TOP OF THE GRAIN. THE SILOS. THAT PORTION APPARENTLY IS OKAY. PART OF THE REHABILITATION THAT WE'RE DOING. THERE IS WHEN YOU LOOK AT AT THE PHOTOS OF THE SILOS THEMSELVES. THERE IS SOME DELAMINATION ALONG THE TOP OF THE SILOS. AND THE OVERHANGING EDGES. YOU CAN SEE IN SOME OF THE PHOTOS THAT ARE THERE AND I'M HAPPY TO PROVIDE.WE HAVE A WHOLE SERIES OF PHOTOS. THERE HAS BEEN SOME FALLING ON THAT CONCRETE EDGE.
[00:05:02]
THERE'S ALSO SOME ASBESTOS. THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HAVING TO REMOVE ON THAT ROOF SECTION OF THE TOP OF THE GRAIN SILOS, THE CONCRETE SILOS THEMSELVES, NOT NONE OF THE PICTURES IN HERE.YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE IT BEST. JUST IF YOU LOOK AT THE LITTLE EDGES OF THAT. AND IF YOU DRIVE BY, YOU CAN LOOK UP AND SEE THAT THE EDGES OF THAT WHICH WE'RE PROBABLY GOING TO CUT BACK.
WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE MORE REAL REMEDIAL WORK ON THE REHABILITATION DOING SOME EPOXY , SOME GROUTING SOME CEILING, ALL KINDS OF THINGS TO MAKE IT PERFECT FOR A BEAUTIFUL NEURO.
THAT MURAL THAT'S GOING TO GO UP STARTING HOPEFULLY IN JUNE. BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE. I SEEM TO RECALL. PATRICIA WAS READING THE LETTER THE BID THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT, UM, INCORPORATING SOME KIND OF PAD SITE, WHEREAS WE MIGHT REBUILD THE DOGHOUSE AFTER THIS IS ALL DONE. IS DO I UNDERSTAND THAT CORRECTLY, THAT DESPITE IT LOOKING LIKE YOU SHOWED US HERE THAT ULTIMATELY AFTER THE MURAL STUNNED THAT PERHAPS WE WOULD DIRECTIVE FAUX STRUCTURE UP THERE. WE WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT IF THE FUNDS ALLOW AND IF THE INTEREST IS THERE BECAUSE IT HAS SUCH A PRESENCE IN THE OVERALL LOOK AND FEEL OF THOSE SILOS. IT GETS BACK TO THE STORE ICAL. LOOK WITH THAT PROJECTION, BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT WE THINK IT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE WITHOUT THE AND WHAT IT HAS THE PROFILE.
THE ARCHITECTURAL PROFILE IS JUST SO STRIKING WHEN YOU HAVE THAT DOGHOUSE, SO WE'RE HOPING TO GO BACK WITH THE LIGHTWEIGHT STRUCTURE AT THE END OF THE DAY. THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT, THOUGH WE WOULD HAVE TO FIND FUNDING FOR THAT IN THE FUTURE. WHAT IS PART OF THE PROJECT, THOUGH, IS LAYING THE GROUNDWORK UP THERE SO THAT THE STRUCTURE CAN BE BUILT. IF WE ELECTED TO GO FORWARD WITH EXACTLY WE'RE GOING TO PUT IN SOME SOME ANGER, SOME IN BEDS. IN WHAT WE'RE DOING SO THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO PERHAPS BUILT A DOGHOUSE ON THE GROUND OF SOME LIGHTER WEIGHT MATERIAL AND THEN LIFTED INTO PLACE AND ATTACH IT TO THE ROOF OF THE SILOS. WOULD THAT BE A POURED I FOUND THAT PROBLEM. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE CURRENTLY ONCE YOU REMOVE THE DOGHOUSE WILL BE A CORRUGATED DECKING AND CONCRETE , PROBABLY A LIGHTWEIGHT CONCRETE. ROOFING THERE'S A MASTIC ON TOP AND MEMBRANE ROOFING ON TOP OF THAT RIGHT NOW , IN FACT, THAT'S PART OF WHERE THE ASBESTOS IS THAT WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF REMOVING SO WE'LL GET THAT REMOVED AND WILL RESEAL THE TOP OF THE EXISTING SIDE OF THE ELEVATOR, SO THAT WHEN WE GET TO HEAR THAT THE DOGHOUSE RIGHT NOW SITS ON THE MOST EASTERN TWO ENDS OF THOSE TWO SILOS, SO WE WILL GET THAT TAKEN CARE OF AND WHETHER TYPE OTHER QUESTIONS. ENTERTAIN THE MOTION.
