Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study For Indoor Recreation Facilities - Hiring of Consultant Parks and Recreation Director Schultz recapped the request for proposals that were sent out to twelve firms in July 2018 – both local and out of state, to conduct a Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study for Indoor Recreation Facilities. A total of 6 proposals were received. After review of proposals and interviewing the firms, staff is recommending that the City contract with 292 Design Group out of Minneapolis to conduct the Needs Assessment and Feasibility Study for Indoor Recreation Facilities. One major component that stood out to staff was 292’s ability to involve the community while yet meeting the city’s needs. Staff is pleased to have the flexibility with having them local and knowing 292 Design Group has worked with surrounding cities regarding similar projects. Councilmember Weisensel appreciated staff moving forward with proposals and getting to this point. Councilmember Weisensel stated one major component of this process is public engagement and if residents want to participate, staff needs to ensure the word gets out; dedicated social media pages, local newspapers, reader boards, etc. Now is the time to start building up this excitement and keep it moving forward. Schultz discussed the two phases of the project; Phase 1: Demographic and Market Analysis and Phase 2: Operational Analysis. Phase 1 will consist of reviewing our current facilities and review of what the city feels is relevant for the study, public engagement, and partnership development. Phase 2 will consist of compiling all of Phase 1’s information and preparation of a written facility program based on this information which will include budget, staffing, site options, etc. ROSEMOUNT CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING PROCEEDINGS SEPTEMBER 4, 2018 Schultz reiterated that this project is starting at the baseline and building from there. 292 Design Group has indicated that they could begin this work shortly, with a final report completed in the next 6 months.
