The action requested of City Council is to review and consider the approval of the attached Task Order #15 from McKim & Creed, Inc, in the amount not to exceed $30,150. 

As City Council is aware, the north side exterior two story wall at City Hall contains an area of glass block that is in disrepair.  At its current state, the glass block portion of the wall no longer meets the State of Florida’s Building Code Standards.  These standards were upgraded subsequent to Hurricane Andrew’s destruction of building structures in 1992.  One of the most important additions to the code was and is, the requirement of missile-impact resisting glass, which can withstand high velocity impact from wind-borne debris during a storm event.  The importance of City Hall to remain open subsequent to a storm event is paramount to the operations of the City Council, city staff, and city residents.  At its current state, the north side glass portion of the exterior wall is considered a potential weak area susceptible to damage should renovations not occur.
