CITY OF LA PORTS • TNTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: June 3, 1981 SUBJECT: Ad 'on ,o One Office and Parts Storage Room to the New Service Center T0: Jim ud ens, C'ty Manager FROM: Jerry, od irector of Public Works In the present design of the new Service Center, the Parts Room is located in the Warehouse facility. This means that all the mechanics will have to walk from the Garage to the Warehouse to pick up parts and equipment needed. During rainy or inclement weather they will have to go outside of the Service Center to mach the Parts area. I am requesting that we locate the Parts storage area, appraximately 1S X 25, in what is now called the Paint Shop, which is located next to the Garage area. Also, in the present plans for the Garage area there is only ane (l.) affice, and • I am requesting the addition of an office adjacent to the office already planned. This will give us an office for a records clerk. Due to the expanded workload in the Garage, it necessitates the addiitian of a clerk in this area to maintain proper records. The cost of the addition will be approximately $2,500.00. I have visited with Busch and Hutchison on these changes and Ji.m Hutchison has stG.°..-~' there are weak areas in the lime stabalized subgrade on the Public Works parking area, and if we would repair these as we begin to place the crushed Limestone bass:, the additional cost for the building plans will be only $500.00, which is to cover the cost of an air conditioner. This purchase will be made from the contingency fund from the new service center. This will not require a Change Order. The justificatian for these changes are to help increase efficiency of the Garage operation, first by lessening the wasted time of the mechanics in obtaining parts for repair and by the additional office space for better maintenance of records. I would appreciate your consideration of these additions. • JH/lw
