CITY OF ROSEMOUNT S7fECUTIVE SUNlMARY FOR ACTION - CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: JANUARY 5, 1993 AGENDA ITEM: ARMORY COMMUNITY CENTER AGENDA SECTION: PROJECT UPDATE ADM�NISTR.ATOR'S REPORT PREPARED BY: STEPH�N JILK, CITY ADMINISTRATOR AGENDA N��n�j � '"� �''; � �t�l � ATTACffi�SENTS: PROJECT UPDATE REPORT AP O BY v This is a regular update to the Council on the status of the Armory and Community Center Proj ect. There will be a monthly newsletter going out to the Council, commissions and staff on the project and a verbal report will accompany the written reports to the Council at the first meeting of each month. RECOMMENDED ACTION: None. COIINCIL ACTION: f � Rosemount Community Center Update > Januar� 1993 Report # 1 FROM: Stephan Jilk Construction - Construction is moving along. The contractor moved onto the site in November. The first work that needed to be done was the preliminary site grading and removal of trees. The next step was to layout the entire building on the site and begin excavation. During this time the building utilities were also laid in place so that this work did not have to be done later. City sewer and water were not availabe to the site so elevations and locations for the hookups had to be provided which the City will have to match in the spring when these Utilities are brought to the site. The contractor then dug footings and began laying concrete for the' footings of the center of the building which is essentially the center of the Armory. This section of the building was selected to work on first because that is the section of the building that will contain the core of the utilities and, based on the design of the building, is necessary to construct first because of el.evations of floors and roof sections. Please refer to the attached map to see the proposed construction phasing for the project. The contractor, by contract agreement, has 450 calendar days to complete the project. That takes the completion of the project to February 5, 1994. According to the phasing proposed by the contractor the Multi Purpose Arena would be one of the very last items to be compieted. In the cash flow projections for the arena we had suggested that the arena would be available sometime in December of 1993 for ice rental purposes. If the arena is not available until February we will lose substantial amounts of revenue. We have discussed this with the contractor. He is willing to consider two different ways of moving the completion date for the arena up. One would be to go into excavation work sooner in the spring, now set at April 1. There would be cost to the city to do this because there would be extra cost to the contractor working in frozen ground. The second would be to shift subcontractors doing finishing work on certain sections of the project to concentrate on the arena. The contractor is being asked to look at both options to come up with a date that he can complete the arena which would be closer to December 1, 1993 and to estimate the cost of doing that. Our building and f ire inspection staf f has also def ined those areas of the arena that would not have to be completed at the time we would use the ice for practices and games so that we could still experience revenue from that source. We will have recommendations to the City COuncil on January 19th on this matter. Utilities - City utility projects to serve the Armory and Community Center are in different levels of completion. The water main work is essentially complete with service available - to the site. The sanitary sewer engineering design is being worked on and physical work will begin in the spring. The same is true with the stormwater project. Stormwater catch basins and piping on the project site itself are almost all in. Because of a needed design change in the building elevation there will be additional stormwater piping needed on the West side of the property. That will be laid in the spring. The design of the stormwater retention pond, to be constructed by the City and the construction of the turn lanes and driveway accesses to the site are being designed now. The project was bid by PCL with the roadway ditches and driveways to completed by PCL but since the City will be doing the Highway #3 improvements and the stormwater retention work all work up to the property line will be done under City contract. The costs included in the contract with PCL will be deducted from their contract and included under City Contract completed separately. Contributions - The Rosemount Arewa Hockey Association (RAHA) made a committment to raise up to $100, 000 . to fund certain items needed to complete the construction of the arena and for operation of the facility. I have been advised that they are over 60% of the way in reaching that goal . They have offered to buy a reconditioned "Zamboni" machine for the aren.a. Also, we have asked the contractor to separate out certain bid items which R.AHA can either donate or assist in the installation of in order to save additional dollars. One of these items is the skate tile. This is a flooring material which is installed in the lobby and locker room areas to protect the floor and the skates. It appears that through a special purchase and having RAHA volunteers installing the material. we will experience a $9000. savings. We will continue to work with RAHA and others to take advantage of these kinds of opportunities. Staffing - In order to provide ongoing construction management and to p�epare for the operation of the facility I am preparing recommendations on the hiring of staff for the facility. The construction coordination is extremely time consuming because of the joint ownership of the project, The National Guard is being cooperative and the architect is maintaining there role as owner representative. But with all the various components and funding mechanisms in place and with the State, Federal Government and City all having ownership responsibilities it is a most interesting proj ect. I plan on having recommmendations on staffing to the Council on 2- 1-93 / � A i�s` B 9�'s•' � c3�w- F �� H ,--- --------------------�-------,------ - — -- i � � - i � T � � ( � ` J 1 � �r� . t � 1 � � .
