CITY OF SHAKOPEE MEMORANDUM To: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator From: Travis Karlen, Recreation Supervisor Meeting Date: July 5, 2006 Subject: Aquatic Park Support Building Schematic Design and Estimates INTRODUCTION City Council is asked to review the proposed schematic aquatic park support building design and order plans and specifications. DISCUSSION This project is to replace the support building currently serving the Shakopee Aquatic Park. The demolition of the existing building and the construction of the new building are being funded by the building fund. The proposed building would serve the Aquatic Park and Lion's Park with expanded locker room areas, expanded concessions, larger updated support areas, as well as the opportunity to provide restrooms accessible to Lion's Park. Members of the Design committee consisted of 2 past managers ofthe Shakopee Aquatic Park, the architecture team, Chip Menke from the Shakopee Lions, and several city staff. We held five meetings to discuss various topics including priorities in the building. In two of these meetings we toured different facilities to offer ideas to the architecture team for the design of the new building. Function of Floor Plan Members of the Design Committee met on the design of the building and agreed that the new building needed to be more functional, inviting, and secure than the current building in the park. In the floor plan (Attachment 1), the features to make it functional for all users are: . Accessible Male. Female and Familv Locker Rooms. The current building has a family locker room area that is not very private for changing. The rooms are quite small and are generally not large enough for a child and adult to fit into. The new building would offer men's and women's locker rooms that have one entrance/exit point which would help patrons keep account of their children when they go into the locker rooms. The locker rooms would also feature a shower areawith a handicapped accessible shower as well as multiple toilet and sink fixtures. Since there are many families that use the facility, we felt it necessary to also include a family changing area. The initial idea was to have just two family changing rooms with bathrooms, but because of the number of families that visit the park each day, we felt that it was more appropriate to expand the family changing area to five changing rooms and two family restrooms. The design of the locker room area is unique and an innovative use of space. We visited several different pools and have not seen a design such as the one being proposed. Between the locker rooms there would be a mechanical hallway that will make the plumbing in the building accessible for maintenance and repair. The hall would also act as storage for all janitorial supplies. . Expanded Concessions Area. The current building has a small concessions stand that passes health code on a limited menu. This means that we are only able to serve packaged items that do not have to be heated. The new building would house a concessions stand where we can serve both hot and cold foods. The stand would be designed to hold a fountain pop machine, a freezer and cooler, as well as heating and cooling units for a full service concessions stand. The service counter top would be at 36" to make the area more inviting for youth as well as being ADA accessible. . Expanded Guard and Support Areas. The admissions area in the current building is a small window that does not offer an inviting area for patrons coming into the park. The admissions window in the new building would offer a larger more inviting space with a 36" counter top height. The area would also be equipped with a computer to scan in memberships for those who are season pass holders. In the current building the lifeguard area is quite small and does not supply an adequate space. The new building would offer a Lifeguard area that would be large enough to have short meetings before shifts, provide a good break area for staff, and provide the staff with their own restroom facility. Currently the guards do first aid in the Manager's office. The new support area Would provide a great space that is exclusive to first aid. The area would be equipped with a sink, bench, and first aid supplies. . Exterior Bathrooms to Lion's Park: Currently there is a Men's and Women's toilet building in Lions Park. The building has several issues: a Irrigation systems and booster pump for Lion's Park are located in this building. . The water source for this building is located in the current pool building. If the bathroom building were to remain in Lion's Park, a new line would need to run from the new pool building to the existing bathrooms. . Currently there is a booster pump that runs the water systems in the bathrooms. The booster pump was placed there because of issues with water pressure. Bill Egan at Public Works feels that the booster pump will need maintenance in the future and agrees that it would be more efficient to have the new bathrooms on the pool building and eliminate the existing bathrooms in Lion's Park. a ADA Issues that need to be addressed: . Needs an International Symbol of Accessibility sign for both the Men's and Women's Toilet rooms . Tension on the entry doors needs to be adjusted . A fully compliant 5' wide stall with grab bars needs to be created . Insulation of the pipes . Replacement of the sink faucet hardware. We have had discussions with the Lion's Club about the conditions of the existing bathrooms in Lion's Park. We have not come to a conclusion on the future of the facilities; however we are still working on this with the Lion's. Because of the issues with the Lion's Park restroom facilities, we have proposed as a bid alternate that the new pool building could have two exterior restrooms that are accessible to Lion's Park. . Storaae and Other Features: The new building would offer a large storage area that can be divided to offer storage for concessions materials as well as rescue equipment and lessons equipment. The support areas would also have a service door to act as an access door for staff and provide a staging area for concessions. Exterior Design Options Initially the design committee came up with an ideal floor plan for the building based on community and staff needs. The floor plan guided the exterior design of the building that resulted in three different options. It was important to the design committee to incorporate natural light into the design as well which each of the designs does. Option 1 (Attachment 2) features a front entry with two sets of swinging doors which could both be open to offer an open feeling to the pool area. In this design, the front desk area is wide open offering a welcoming feel to patrons coming to the facility. The roof line on this building would be an inverted roof structure that offers a higher roof line on the front and back of the building which would allow for sunlight to enter through the opaque glass. This option also has the glass block in the locker room areas to allow for natural light. Option 2 (Attachment 3) features an elevated rooflinein the front of the building with opaque glass tolet natural light into the building. The service desk area is wide open offering a welcoming feel to patrons coming to the facility and features doors that swing open. The roof above the main entrance point would be a trellis structure. The exterior design features two separate buildings and one roof line to pull the buildings together. The Committee's preferred option, Option 3 (Attachment 4A, 4B, 4C, 4D, 4E, 4F, and 4G) shown in blue and green color schemes features a slanted roofline with large opaque window openings and smaller glass block to allow for natural light to enter the building. The building would have several fabric canopies in the main entrance as well as a shaded structure over the concessions seating areas. These canopies will provide shade and would also bring color into the design of the building thus making it more welcoming for patrons. We are using these canopy structures as shades structures in many of our new project. The canopies are durable, add color to the buildings and do not require much maintenance. The preferred design would also offer an open focal point through the middle of the building which would allow people that are coming up to the building to see straight into the pool area. This would also help with evening surveillance of the park by the . Shakopee Police. The color pallet for the building has not yet been determined; however the advisory board recommended a more natural siding for the elevated part of the building with a colored block to compliment. The color pallet would need to be determined in the plans and specifications. Site Plan The site plan (Attachment 5) shows that the new building would be slightly offset, closer to the Lions' Park shelters and playground than the current building. This would allow for the new bathrooms to be closer to the shelters. ltwould also allow for a sand play area to be installed on the west side of the building. In front of the restroom area is a large eating area for concessions which is covered by a fabric canopy. The existing shelter over the current concessions area would be demolished; however the Jeffery Rogers Shelter would remain in the park area. This shelter was donated in memory of a boy who enjoyed coming to the aquatic park. The shelter and cement slab below it are both in great condition. The plan also shows the option of replacement of the fence to a coated black chain link fence. This fence would blend with the surroundings and make the park more attractive to users. The site does show that we have space for expansion in the park if it is decided upon in the future. Possible additions for the future would be more shade structures, lazy river, or splash pad. The building has been designed to support an expansion to the park. Cost Estimates The cost estimate for construction of the project includes demolition and construction of the main building, site work for the area surrounding the new structure and related construction items. Also included are the added restrooms serving Lion's Park. In the estimate there is a contingency to cover miscellaneous items that have yet to be considered or known. Oertel Architects will provide an updated estimate as we get further into the project. The original cost for this project in the 2006 CIP was $1,080,000. The architecture services for the project were estimated at $108,200 which gives us 971,800 for construction. The Prima Construction Contract costs for this ro'ect are: General Conditions $90,000 Site Work and Demolition $40,000 Buildin and Cano ies $747,000 Est. Contin enc $45,000 $48,000 $970,000 $38,000 $20,000 $5,000 Lion's Park $36,000 $99,000 Timeline The proposed timeline for this park is to have bid documents available for advertisement in late July 2006 for September 2006 construction to be completed in spring 2007. REQUESTED ACTIONS City Council is asked to review the preferred schematic designs and estimates for the new aquatic park support building. If you concur with the schematic design, move to order plans and specifications. (We would return to council with final plans, specifications, and cost estimates.) 0 OERTEL ARCHITECTS 1795 SAINT CLAIR AVENUE ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55105 .... ..... .....
