REQUEST: APPROVAL TO REIMBURSE THE PALM SPRINGS ART MUSEUM
FOR DECONSTRUCTION AND RELOCATION OF PREVIOUS
VISITOR CENTER MILLWORK AND LIGHT FIXTURES IN THE
AMOUNT OF $8,930.
SUBMITTED BY: Stephen Y. Aryan, Risk Manager

CONTENTS: The Kiner Group Correspondence
Recommendation
By Minute Motion,
1. Approve reimbursement, in the amount of $8,930, to the Palm Springs
Art Museum for deconstruction and relocation work requested by the
City of Palm Desert.
2. Appropriate $8,930 from the Building Maintenance Fund 450 for this
reimbursement to the Palm Springs Art Museum.
Background
The Palm Springs Art Museum indicated to City staff that there were various millwork and
electrical lighting fixtures that they did not require, as part of the tenant improvements
enacted at the former Palm Desert Visitor's Center site.
Staff recommends keeping these items as they came at a significant cost and could
potentially be reutilized in a future project. Staff requested that the Museum obtain a
minimum of three estimates to perform the requested deconstruction/relocation services
and the following estimates were obtained:
COMPANY ESTIMATE
WDL Construction (Rancho Mirage, CA) $8,930
Hudson Construction, Inc. (Palm Desert, CA) $10,550
Golden Construction (Palm Desert, CA) $10,850
The Museum retained the services of WDL Construction and the items, some of which are
depicted in the photographs below, were relocated the City's Joni Yard Facility. They will
remain here until a future project is identified where they can be reutilized. Staff
recommends reimbursing the Palm Springs Art Museum for the work performed at the
City's request.

Fiscal Analysis
The requested reimbursement will be appropriated from the City's Building Maintenance
Fund 450. As noted, this work was not a requirement under the lease agreement with the
Museum, but was initiated at the City staff's request. The costs of the recovered millwork
and lighting fixtures exceed the amount required to relocate them; therefore, staff
recommends approval of this reimbursement request.
