ITEM TITLE: Cardiac Monitor Repair Warranty / Service Contract (ACTION)
SUBMITTED BY: John Delain, Fire Chief
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Germantown Fire Department operates a Paramedic level EMS service. As part of
this service we are required to have cardiac monitors that our providers are trained to
utilize to detect potential problems with a persons heart, such as a heart attack.
Germantown owns/operates 4 Zoll X-Series Advanced cardiac monitors at a current
approximate cost of $60,000 each, or $240,000 total. Germantown last purchased
monitors in 2021 and purchased a 5-year no-risk warranty. The warranty has covered
thousands of dollars in repair costs, loaner equipment, and preventative maintenance
charges. The most common repair we have seen is replacement of the charging cable
and communication port, which is over $3,300.
The annual preventative maintenance and calibration is $650 per monitor ($2,600 total)
factoring the cost of a loaner monitor. We are respectfully requesting authorization to
purchase an additional 3-year warranty / service contract which will last until 5/1/2029.
The expected lifespan of the unit is 7-10 years however they only offered 3 additional
years of warranty.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The department is requesting authorization to purchase a 3-year warranty for a total

Amy Lerch
Administrative Manager
Germantown Fire Department
Fire Station No. 2
N115 W18752 Edison Drive
Germantown, WI 53022
Dear Ms. Lerch,
Thank you for the opportunity to submit our proposal for Construction Manager at Risk services for Germantown Fire
Department Fire Station No. 2’s renovation and expansion project. Fire stations are mission-critical facilities where layout,
construction sequencing, and building systems directly affect emergency response, firefighter safety, and long-term
operational readiness. Our team understands the responsibility that comes with delivering this work while maintaining
uninterrupted operations.
Response Time & Uninterrupted Operations
Station layout must support direct, intuitive movement from alarm to apparatus, and construction activities cannot impede
response reliability. Our approach emphasizes thoughtful phasing, logistics planning, and daily coordination with station
leadership to maintain full operational continuity throughout construction. From temporary access routes to clearly defined
work zones, we prioritize solutions that protect response time and readiness at all stages of the project.
Firefighter Wellness & Safety
We recognize the growing importance of station design in supporting firefighter health. Our team understands the need for
dedicated personal locker space and the separation of personal items from apparatus, gear, and exhaust zones. We
support clear zoning between apparatus, gear, living, and work areas to improve air quality and reduce contaminant
exposure. Our experience includes addressing ventilation performance, CO₂ monitoring, humidity and temperature control,
and mold prevention as part of a comprehensive wellness strategy. We also recognize the importance of improved hygiene
facilities and properly sized sleeping accommodations that support recovery and long-term wellness.
Preconstruction & Cost Planning
Early and collaborative preconstruction engagement is essential to aligning scope, budget, and operational priorities. As
CMAR, we will provide detailed cost modeling, constructability input, and phasing strategies that allow informed decision-
making without compromising safety or durability. Given the anticipated 5–10 year service life of this phase, our
recommendations will balance immediate needs with flexibility to accommodate future staffing, equipment, and operational
changes.
We are committed to delivering a facility that strengthens response capabilities, prioritizes firefighter health, and
responsibly invests public resources. We look forward to partnering with your team to deliver this project with clarity,
accountability, and respect for the vital services your department provides to the community.
Sincerely,
Joe Hoffmeier

Schmidt: A family name. A 106-year promise.
Founded in 1920 by Dutch immigrant Charles Schmidt, CG Schmidt was built
on a simple yet powerful idea: a name is only as strong as the reputation
behind it. He believed that every project was a reflection of character, and
that belief still guides us today.
Now in our fifth generation of family leadership, CG Schmidt has grown into
one of Wisconsin’s leading commercial builders. We’ve stayed true to the
core values passed down over the past 106 years—integrity, caring, and a
passion for excellence.
We are proud to be the trusted partner on many of the state’s most
respected organizations in communities across the state and nation, and
look forward to the opportunity to serve The Village of Germantown and
Germantown Fire Department Fire Station No. 2.

GERMANTOWN FIRE DEPARTMENT - FIRE STATION NO. 2 // PROJECT APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING
Mission-Critical
Operations Cannot Stop
Maintaining operational
continuity during renovation
and mold remediation
is critical to response
reliability and community
safety.
Cost Certainty
through Progressive
Preconstruction
The Village has defined a
structured preconstruction
process. This signals a clear
expectation: cost control
must happen in real time—
not at bid time.
Mold Remediation as
an Integrated Scope
Mold remediation is not a
side scope—it is a sequencing
driver. This work will directly
impact schedule flow, crew
relocations, and access
sequencing.
Transparent Public
Procurement
The Village has various
requirements that need to
be adhered to in this project.
Clear documentation, public
accountability, and clean bid
packaging will be essential.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING CG SCHMIDT’S APPROACH
Early Alignment & Risk Mapping
At project kickoff, risks will be identified early, assigned
ownership, pricing when appropriate, and tracked through
GMP development.
Progressive Cost Leadership
No Surprises. Not only is that one of our core values, but
the goal for this project at GMP. To achieve this, we’ll use
real-time cost tracing, side-by-side estimate reconciliation
with SEH, early scope gap identification, and value analysis
focused on durability, lifecycle cost, and response reliability
to provide fluid estimating.
Operationally Driven Phasing
Our phasing strategy prioritizes apparatus access at all
times, clear construction/operations separation, life-safety
barrier plans, and mitigation for noise, vibration and dust.
Temporary relocations would be mapped out only when
unavoidable and would be supported with clear map
circulation, emergency paths, and construction zones before
work begins.
Mold Remediation Integration
Remediation becomes part of the master schedule, not an
isolated event. CG Schmidt will coordinate directly with SEH
in this process. Please see the following page for our plan.
Transparent, Competitive Procurement
To protect taxpayer dollars and project integrity, our
approach will emphasize thoughtful bid packages to
maximize competition, clear scopes to reduce change orders,
public bid transparency and documentation, and structured
recommendation summaries for Owner and Board review.
Construction Phase Leadership
Fully operational. Fully commissioned. Fully supported. That
is how we will leave this project. During construction, our
focus will include active on-site supervision, strict safety and
containment enforcement, proactive communication with
station leadership and Village stakeholders, and structured
closeout and commissioning coordination.
SECTION 03
PROJECT APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING
Page 103 of 136

GERMANTOWN FIRE DEPARTMENT - FIRE STATION NO. 2 // PROJECT APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING
Mold Remediation
Coordination &
Implementation Plan
1. INVESTIGATION & DEFINITION
Lead: SEH
» Identify moisture sources and affected assemblies
» Define remediation protocol and extent
» Provide environmental specifications
CG Schmidt’s Role: Validate constructability, develop
preliminary cost and schedule scenarios.
2. CONTAINMENT & PROTECTION PLANNING
» Establish isolated work zones
» Install negative air machines with HEPA filtration
» Protect adjacent living quarters and apparatus bays
» Maintain emergency egress routes
Fire Station Priority: Zero disruption to response readiness.
3. CONTROLLED REMEDIATION
» Remove impacted materials
» Clean and treat remaining substrates
» Continuous air monitoring
» Daily coordination with station leadership
CG Schmidt’s Role: Overseeing safety, documentation, schedule
compression where feasible.
4. CLEARANCE TESTING & VERIFICATION
» Third-party air and surface sampling
» Independent clearance confirmation
» Formal documentation for record
No reconstruction begins until clearance is achieved.
5. RECONSTRUCTION & RESTORATION
» Rebuild assemblies to current code
» Improve moisture management detailing
» Integrate work into overall phasing plan
» Closeout documentation and warranty review
Because a fire station operates 24/7 in
support of emergency response, mold
remediation must be executed with precision,
transparency, and zero impact to readiness.
Our approach integrates environmental
investigation, containment planning,
remediation, and reconstruction into a single
coordinated process that protects occupant
health while maintaining uninterrupted
operations.
Working in collaboration with SEH, we will
translate identified conditions into clear cost,
schedule, and phasing strategies—ensuring
remediation is addressed safely, efficiently,
and fully aligned with GMP development and
station response reliability.

VALUE ENGINEERING STUDY
Value engineering is a critical process for
CG Schmidt, enabling the firm to optimize
project outcomes by balancing cost, quality,
and functionality. By carefully analyzing
design and construction methods, we work
with clients and stakeholders to identify
opportunities for cost savings without
compromising on performance or safety.
This proactive approach involves a
collaborative, team-oriented effort to
assess alternative materials, systems, and
techniques that can reduce expenses and
improve efficiency, all while maintaining the
project’s overall vision and standards. With
a focus on innovation and practical problem-
solving, our value engineering practices help
deliver superior value, ensuring that each
project meets both budgetary goals and the
highest quality benchmarks.
DETAILED COST ESTIMATE
CG Schmidt provides a detailed cost
estimate by assessing the project’s scope,
size, and complexity. They evaluate costs
for materials, labor, equipment, permits,
and overhead, breaking them into line
items for clarity. We also considers site
conditions, timelines, and potential risks.
This thorough estimate helps clients
understand the full financial commitment
and supports informed decision-making
throughout the project.

WEEKLY LOOK-AHEAD SCHEDULE
CG Schmidt schedules and conducts
weekly construction meetings to
discuss progress, procedures, budget
and scheduling issues. In addition, we
review work completed during the past
week and outline work that is to be
completed in the next month. Action
items and deadlines are assigned to
the appropriate parties, recorded in the
weekly meeting minutes and tracked by
your project manager.
WORK SCHEDULE
Adhering to the construction schedule
is a top priority. We carefully plan and
coordinate all phases of the project to
ensure timely completion, minimizing
delays and maintaining project
momentum. By closely monitoring
progress, managing resources
efficiently, and addressing potential
issues early, we deliver projects on
time, meeting client expectations and
avoiding costly setbacks.

GERMANTOWN FIRE DEPARTMENT - FIRE STATION NO. 2 // PROJECT APPROACH & UNDERSTANDING
Our goal is to complete jobs efficiently and precisely.
Expediting project closeout and ensuring all open
issues are addressed are important components for
successful projects.
We track project closeout activities and milestone
dates within the project schedule. Starting the
closeout process early eliminates last-minute fixes
and inefficiency. For example, as subcontractors are
hired, we ask them to provide their Operations and
Maintenance (O&M) information along with shop
drawing and equipment submittals. This way, O&M
information is readily available throughout training an
onboarding of staff.
As part of our Quality Assurance program, we utilize
a project closeout checklist to keep track of project
closeout items.
The checklist tracks:
» Project closeout notifications (internal and external)
» Completion status of punch list work items
» Substantial completion inspections
» Required project completion certifications
» Systems commissioning
» Training of operations and maintenance staff
» Record-set (as-built) documentation
» Assembly of operation and maintenance
information
» Project financial closeout record
After you take possession of your facility, we provide:
» Two-year warranty for all new construction
» Walk-through and building performance
assessments at the end of the first and second
years
» Trouble-shooting and operational assistance on
functional building issues for the life of the building
» Periodic systems retraining, if required, during
seasonal changes and the warranty period
Sample Project Closeout Checklist
During our two-year warranty period, CG Schmidt schedules specific
dates to review the performance of your new building. Typically, this
occurs at the one-year and two-year anniversaries of the completion
date. It is our goal to be proactive about any potential warranty
issues — addressing problems before they become troublesome.
MOBILE PUNCHLIST
ProjectSight is used to track and resolve ongoing
issues throughout the duration of the project.
As a result, there are minimal issues to address
during the punchlist phase, and any items on the
list can be resolved quickly which accelerates
the closeout process. ProjectSight provides all
team members with project information at their
fingertips no matter where they are located and
increases field productivity, giving our team
the tools we need to execute your project at the
highest level of quality.
CG Schmidt provides a
standard two-year warranty
for all of our projects
effective from the date of
substantial completion.

Our 5-Step Preconstruction Process
CG Schmidt’s successful project approach is based on early project involvement. Projects greatly benefit from having
builder input during the planning and concept design stages. Each building decision contains cost and construction
impact, and with early engagement, we provide the necessary context to make informed building choices, allowing us to
perform at our highest capacity. We outline our 5-Step Preconstruction Process below:
STEP 1: LISTEN
» Engage in partnering sessions with all project
stakeholders
» Understand project vision, goals and parameters of work
(timeline, sequencing issues, etc.)
» Understand cash flow and proforma
» Begin continuous estimating process
» Confirm the allowable budget
» Understand major program decisions (i.e. square-footage,
number of levels, etc.)
STEP 2: INFORM
» Develop options and define target budgets
» Comparative analysis
» Begin constructability review, procurement plan and
prefabrication plan
» Virtual Design and Construction (VDC)
» Site selection
» Benchmarking
» Comparison to recent projects
» Gather subcontractor information
» Gather historical cost information
» Involve MEP partners, as needed
» Utilize the designer’s building massing and site layout
options to refine the continuous estimate
STEP 3: ADVISE
» Life cycle cost analysis
» Prioritize the project scope to maximize value
» Further refine the continuous estimate
» Entitlement process
» Utilize the designer’s massing/site to provide multiple
system alternates
» Total project budget development
» Involve enclosure and steel partners, as needed
STEP 4: ALIGN
» Project scheduling
» Refine the constructability review, procurement plan and
prefabrication plan
» Finalize the project scope
» Involve site, core and shell partners, as needed
» Understand the designer’s definition to systems and
alternates
» Further refine the continuous estimate
STEP 5: EXECUTE
» Bid packages
» Phasing and site logistics plan
» Understand designer’s final Guaranteed Maximum Price
(GMP) drawings
» Finalize GMP and alternates
» Local participation/workforce development
OUR FOCUS DURING THE
PRECONSTRUCTION PROCESS:
» Partnering
» Collaborating
» Continuous Budgeting/Estimating
» Developing and Evaluating Options

Guaranteed Maximum Price Approach
A guaranteed maximum price (GMP) acts as an insurance policy for an owner, transferring risk from the owner to the
contractor. However, like an insurance policy, there must be a balance of risk. To meet this need, we focus our efforts
on establishing precise estimates to determine GMPs early while keeping contingencies at a minimum.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY
No matter when the GMP is determined, it is our
responsibility to capture all aspects of design intent
and identify all costs, not only the portion that CG
Schmidt is under contract for directly. Your proposed
team will work with you to identify all project costs and
include each in overall budget.
Continuous estimating keeps CG Schmidt ahead of every cost
driver to deliver accurate, data-driven budgets.

Safety in
Occupied Spaces
CG Schmidt’s experience delivering complex projects
of all sizes includes new construction, renovations,
relocations, and expansions within fully occupied,
mission-critical facilities.
We understand that fire stations must remain fully
operational at all times, and our approach prioritizes
uninterrupted response, clear circulation, and safe
separation between construction and daily operations.
Through disciplined phasing, secure fencing, clear
wayfinding and signage, and proactive communication,
we minimize disruption from noise, vibration, and
dust while maintaining readiness, safety, and staff
confidence throughout construction.
CG Schmidt Clean Room
To mitigate any risk of cross-contamination on active jobsites, we source
materials and tools dedicated for healthcare projects from a controlled
clean room at our construction yard.
The clean room contains:
» Inventory of high grade equipment
» Sanitation system to clean materials before storage
» HEPA filtration system and Edge Guard panels and doors create a
dust barrier system
» High-efficient LED lighting
» Commercial grade vinyl floor
Dedicated Clean Room

Keeping staff and visitors
safe at all times is our top
priority during construction.
In tandem, we need to
ensure our activities do
not impact the day-to-
day operations of your
firestation.
We start by meeting with
the Germantown Firestation
teams to determine work
plans that address both
safety and disruption
concerns so our crews
can plan around them.
Regardless of the time
or activity, we guarantee
complete partitioning of
construction work with
ample fencing, safety

GERMANTOWN FIRE DEPARTMENT - FIRE STATION NO. 2 / / SAFETY & QUALITY MANAGEMENT
SYSTEMS TO ENSURE QUALITY
Germantown Fire Department Fire Station No. 2 will benefit from:
» PRE-INSTALLATION MEETINGS // Prior to the implementation of any large work packages being put in place, our
team holds pre-installation meetings to review shop drawings and identify potentially problematic construction
details or schedule, weather or material concerns that could impact the quality of the work. This often involves
creating mock-ups for key items to verify the quality of the work and the material. By identifying these items before
the work is installed, we offer clarity and address potential issues before they become costly field conditions or
punch-list or warranty items.
» BENCHMARKING // The first step of every key installation is inspection to confirm it meets the requirements of
the documents and the expectations of stakeholders before it is replicated throughout the space.
» FIELD ENGINEERING AND TESTING PROGRAM // We work with the project team to develop a comprehensive
field engineering and testing program, making recommendations for appropriate levels of independent inspection
for systems and materials.
» QC CHECKLISTS AND AUDITS // Problem-free installation is greatly achieved by pre-planning installation and
reviewing requirements for correct installation with field teams who perform the work. However, we still utilize
quality control checklists and audits to confirm that installations are, in fact, properly completed before the work is
covered by the next sequential installation.
Instead of relying on post-installation inspections to find and fix quality
issues that add cost and waste time, CG Schmidt’s Quality Management
Program finds problems before they occur. Our Quality Management
Program increases value and cost accuracy while mandating overall
project quality by:
» Building quality directly into the plans and specifications by
collaborating with architects as they complete their drawings and
addressing difficult or unclear construction details before they
become part of the final construction documents.
» Highlighting work scope and building systems which may require
mitigation to avoid warranty call-backs and repairs.
