Re:     Garage Door Replacement, Final Phase

In 2005 the fire department was able to replace the original wooden doors along the front of the station with new, energy efficient insulated doors. The 2007 Approved Budget funds the replacement of the 3 doors remaining in the rear of the building. As the front doors are Wayne Dalton doors and openers we would obviously like to stay with the same brand/manufacturer for the remaining garage doors. Maintenance would be much easier to perform if the doors were similar with the same parts and mechanisms to operate them. As SBS was the successful bidder for the first phase of this project I have contacted them again for a proposal to replace the remaining rear garage doors. The quote from SBS totaled $12,780 for the remaining doors and installation. The approved budget is for $20,000. Based on the need to remain consistent with regards to types of doors and openers and the fact that the doors from phase I have been trouble free the fire department would like to proceed with the purchase and installation of the remaining doors from SBS.
