UTILITIES COMMISSION MEETING
TO:
ERMU Commission
FROM:
Chris Kerzman – Engineering Manager
MEETING DATE:
August 9, 2022
AGENDA ITEM NUMBER:
5.4
SUBJECT:
Field Services Facility Expansion Project Update
ACTION REQUESTED:
None
DISCUSSION:
Since the special commission meeting, RJM Construction has met with city building officials to
finalize requirements for a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy for the inventory space, the
electrician has made good progress through the building, and the majority of the drywall is
installed upstairs. The painter has finished up the office space and is moving into the larger
open office areas.
The concrete subcontractor was on site after the July 29 meeting and has installed the loading
dock pad and stairs. Removal of the non-conforming stairs in the front of the building is
complete, and RJM advised that the contractor has contractual rights to repair their non-
conforming work. RJM and the contractor are having discussions on how to split the stair into
smaller pours to have a better chance of success.
Critical work over the next two weeks includes sealing of the south portion of the building
which is scheduled to begin during the week of August 8, loading dock ramp installation during
the week of August 15, and finalizing the fire system and alarms with city inspections.
RJM has a hearing for the initial steel contractor default on August 5. If there is a judgement
staff will give a verbal update at the meeting.
