The portion of unnamed public alley requested for vacation is no longer needed as an alley. No private rights will be injured or endangered by such vacations, and the public will suffer no loss or inconvenience thereby; however, a utility easement should be reserved to the City within the alley right-of-way, for the purpose of constructing, reconstructing, maintaining, repairing, inspecting, and using utilities, including by way of example, but not limited to, sewer, water, gas, electricity, and telephone. If the utility facilities are removed or relocated in the future, the City may consider releasing the easement at that time. Recommendation is to approve the ordinance vacating a portion of an unnamed fifteen (15) feet wide public alley, but reserving a utility easement to the City within the alley right-of-way. Alderman Boulton introduced Bill No. 6616, an ordinance to approve the vacation of a portion of an unnamed alley to be read for the first time by title only. Alderman Berger seconded.

City Manager Owens reported that The Fire Department is requesting approval of a contract with NewSpace Business Interiors to replace the Fire Department bunkbeds (commonly known as “Murphy” beds). All bids did not meet the required specifications due to the type of bed and storage closet provided in the bids significantly reduced walking space within the bunkroom. All bidders were invited back to discuss specific needs of the project. Staples and AME Construction could not produce a workable option, with NewSpace producing an option that will meet the fire department’s needs. The new option submitted by NewSpace increased their original bid to $181,491. The overall bunkroom renovation project will include new flooring, electrical, and painting in addition to the replacement of the bunkbeds. The Capital Improvement Fund has $170,635 budgeted for the Murphy Bed replacement in FY2017. No budget was provided for the carpet, painting, or electrical work which as subsequently been found to be necessary in association with this project. A Budget Amendment would be requested for the additional required work.
