Background:
Built in 1981, the 625 Building is a 539,000 gross square foot, 17-story office building located in downtown Minneapolis. The building was acquired by Hennepin County in 2018.
This project will replace the 42-year-old exterior roof-mounted building maintenance unit, which has reached the end of its useful life as it can no longer be repaired or serviced. This access equipment is critical to safely maintain the building exterior including window repair and maintenance. This system must be specifically designed for the building due to its unique design and the need to access specific areas not reachable by other systems.
The new building maintenance unit will also support the upcoming 625 Window Replacement Project, included in the capital budget.
The 625 Building will remain open and occupied through the duration of construction.
Current Request: This is a request to award a contract to Alimak Group for an exterior building maintenance unit in the amount of $4,483,000.
Impact/Outcomes: The building maintenance unit will allow a safe and secure method to repair and maintain the exterior of the 625 Building.
