RE : Armory Project Update
On March 26th the Community Facility / Armorp Cammittee met with
architectural and financial representatives of the National
Guard. Mr. Craig Webber, Project Coordinator ; Mr. Tom Vesely,
Architectural Design Coordinator; and Mr . Terry Palmer , Executive
of the Minnesota National Guard Building Commission met with
members of the Committee to review the newly proposed ermory and
how it would provide facility use and space for activiti+�� the
committee has developed .
It was a good opportunity to have the Guard architects and the
Committe� rev3ew in depth the oppor�uniCiea apen ta u� .
A11 in attendance agreed that the pro,ject coordinator would
review a11 the items being proposed by the Committe�, how thep
would fit in or be added on to the groposed facility and develop
cost estimates for their construction. Though these cost
estimates were done by Boarman & Associates, those costs were
based on a "stand alone" construction without the armory. This
approach will very closely tie cost estimates to "this" pro�ect
and be more meaningful and wi11 reflect potential cost savings
based upon full space utilization and "sharing" of construct�on
costs where that can be accomplished.
The project coordinator will also attempt to develop a basic
fioor plan showing the armorp with enhancements and additions
which were on the Committee' s list. The cost estimates and basic
floor plan should be completed within three weeks after which a
committee meeting will be held to review them.
