Company call.

to track down the individual members who missed a Response Company call.

authorized, off-site, training course.

Mayor and Council Request for Action
February 18, 2025
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS – PURCHASE OF SALT STORAGE COVER
RECOMMENDATION: It is respectfully requested that the Mayor and Council consider the
following:
MOTION TO: Approve the purchase of a fabric covered storage building as quoted by
Greystone Construction for $74,860.
INFORMATION: As part of the WWTF Project, the old reed beds have been converted into
outdoor storage areas/bins for public works/utility department operations. Staff is recommending
covering one of the bins for salt storage. The covered area would be 52’x40’ and sufficiently
meet the needs of the City’s salt storage requirements.
KEY ISSUES:
• This storage structure is steel trusses that would be mounted to existing concrete walls of
the old reed beds and covered with the polyethylene fabric (typical salt storage structure).
• The color of the fabric would be tan or white.
• The quote is based on cooperative agreement pricing (Sourcewell).
• The price includes materials, installation, and engineering.
POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: It is the Mayor and Council’s policy to review and approve the
purchases for the Public Works Department.
FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS: Funding would come from the Capital Reserve Fund,
undesignated funds.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Mayor and Council have the authority to approve
equipment purchases.
Responsible Person: Tim Guimont, Public Works Supervisor
Submitted through: Adam Nafstad, City Administrator-PWD
Attachment:
• Greystone Construction Quote
• Site map of proposed covered location

Tim Guimont
City of Albertville, MN
11850 62nd St NE
Albertville, MN
Re: Sourcewell Proposal – Storage Building
Mr. Guimont,
Thank you for the opportunity to provide a proposal to furnish and install a storage building in
Albertville, MN. A few of the advantages the Greystone team brings to the project include:
• Design-Build Experience – Greystone has offered design-build and general construction
services for 35 years.
• Fabric Building Expertise – Greystone has sold and installed fabric buildings for over 20
years. We’ve successfully completed thousands of fabric building projects.
• Engineered Fabric Building – Fabric building will be designed to meet site-specific load
requirements including wind, snow and unbalanced loads.
• Hot Dipped Galvanized Steel – Fabric building frames are hot dip galvanized post
production, after all cutting and welding complete
• Self-Performed Work – Greystone has the capability to self-perform the concrete and
building installation with our own crews. Often times this allows us to provide the most
competitive pricing, maintain quality and hold schedule.
Let us know if you have any questions. We look forward to discussing our next steps.
Sincerely,
Nate Lamusga
Business Development Manager

Market Provisions:
• Greystone is committed to being your trusted team partner on your project. We are
asking all of our clients recognize the volatility of our markets and understand we are
providing current pricing for budgeting purposes with the need to adjust final projec t
pricing based on the markets at the actual time of the order. It’s important to provide you
with the best value for your project, and we do not want to speculate where the actual
market rates will be at the time of procurement and/or delivery.
• Pricing is based on current market conditions and does not include future tariffs,
surcharges, price escalation, or fees. (i.e., many wholesalers and manufacturers are not
committing to pre-determined pricing for pre-ordered materials. These materials are
priced at the time of the delivery.) Due to extremely volatile markets, pricing shall be re -
evaluated at time of procurement and/or delivery. Any savings or additional cost would
be communicated with Owner prior to procurement and/or delivery.
• Price increases will be assigned as contingency. Unless Greystone specifically outlines a
contingency value in our proposal or scope of work, it is recommended that the Owner
carry a contingency.
• Construction schedule may be affected by material shortages or lead times beyond our
control. Any shortages or lead time issues will be communicated with the owner.
Evaluation of alternatives will be reviewed, and the contract schedule or costs may be
adjusted accordingly.
• Pandemic protocols enacted by the owner’s requirements or federal/state/local
jurisdictions following the execution of the construction contract may result in additional
costs and schedule extensions to the contract. These may include but not limited to:
employee testing, travel time for testing, temporary enclosures/facilities to isolate work
forces, staffing shortages and subcontractor reselection if the current subcontractor
cannot staff the project due to labor shortages as a result of newly enacted pr otocols.
• Unless noted otherwise proposal pricing is valid for 15 days
