sult in improved energy efficiency.
King Construction was awarded the
$1.14 million contract for the project and
officials at City Hall and the police depart-
ment say the project went as scheduled,
with smooth transitions between phases
of the work. Without so much as a min-
ute downtime, the police department has
seamlessly moved into its new headquar-
ters in two phases. When the former fire
department garage was ready, the dispatch
center, officer’s room, locker room, ar-
mory, booking room and interrogation
rooms were relocated to the new space and
the former areas were transformed.
King was the lowest of eight bid-
ders for the work. The base bid from King
($1,140,381) was roughly 15.3 percent be-
low the architect’s estimate of $1,345,876
for the project.

(Above) The police department now has a designated locker room with two shower rooms. Previously The City Council Chambers are now located in the space formerly known as the Community Room. A new desk to accommodate the five Council mem-
lockers, purchased from a school closing in St. Charles, Minn. served as a locker room and was also used bers, mayor, City Administrator and City Clerk was constructed at one end of the room, wired with microphones to promote better amplification and
for a break room with a small refrigerator with a microwave perched on top. (Below) A new room in re-broadcast of proceedings. The room is significantly larger than the former Council Chambers, which often was filled beyond capacity.
the department offers space for officers to converse, relax, jump on the computer or finish up paperwork.

is used for briefing and

room is equipped with
an overhead projector
and technology to better
share information and
promote more paperless
communication.
