TIRE SHOP CONSTRUCTION – PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT – #B08033

 

Public works/Central Maintenance requested bids for a 60’ X 50’ steel building to be used as a tire shop. The present tire shop was built around 1980 for tire storage. The north section was added in 1989. The original building is pole barn type construction. As the fleet grew the entire tire operation was moved to the site, although the building was never big enough to bring vehicles inside for tire repair. The technicians have to raise vehicles and remove tires and wheels outside in all weather conditions. The roof was sealed in 2000 and resealed in 2005 to stop leaks, but the micro burst of 2006 damaged the roof and caused further leaks. Some of the leaking areas are molding due to the constant wet condition. This purchase was budgeted in the 2008 budgeting process.
