CIVIC CENTER - EXTERIOR MATERIAL
Architect Larry Wolff advised the intent of the Joint Meeting is to
consider alternate colors for masonry to be utilized on the Civic
Center. He summarized products and their cost of the firms contacted,
with Davidson Brick Company, the manufacturer of the brick used on the
Fire Station, being the lowest at $1.20 per unit, or $1.80 per square
foot, and Westland Masonry Supply, with Interpace Masonry Units, at
$1.68 per unit, or $3.00 per square foot; noted there were some errors
in quotes given at the last meeting. Mr. Wolff recommended the Civic
Center be constructed with the clay block material as originally
proposed; however, would consider two alternates. Recommended the
final contract documents being set up for a base bid utilizing the
Davidson product, with alternate bids utilizing either Atlas Brick
Units or the Phoenix Brick. Felt that if the overall bids come in
better than expected, then going to a different clay block might be
feasible. In terms of specific color selection, would like to assign
that when the total bid outcome is known. Mr. Wolff then displayed
samples of various exterior material .

In discussion, Chairman Collins stated it appeared information had
been provided the Agency which included cost factors that could be
more important than pure aesthetics; felt the Commission needed to
review that information prior to making color recommendations.
Mr. Nix concurred with the recommendation to request bids using
alternate exterior material , since it would provide cost for different
material ; felt square footage cost misleading because one product
could involve more labor over the other. Felt color selection can be
made at the time of awarding the bid.
The members of the Planning Commission and the Agency agreed there
would be no advantage in making a color determination that evening;
provided, it did not hold up progress of the project; agreed to defer
selection of color until the Planning Commission has had time to
review the information provided by the Architect.
Mr. Wolff stated he needed Agency approval that evening of his
recommendation in order to meet his schedule to request approval of
the final plans and specifications and approval to advertise for bids
at the September 22 meeting.
The Community Redevelopment Agency approved Staff's recommendation to
proceed with the plan to request the base bid in the Davidson Tile,
but ask for alternate bids on the two competing styles of exterior
finish. It was clarified that approval allows the Architect to
proceed with his plans and allows the Agency to select the material
when it knows the final cost, including labor.
ADJOURN - The Planning Commission adjourned its Special Joint Meeting
at 7-:3T p.m.
