Contract Extensions for Park Construction and Administration Services S:O,;t, CITY OF SHAKOPEE MEMORANDUM COt~SE~~T To: Mayor and City Council Mark McNeill, City Administrator From: Mark Themig, Parks, Recreation, and Facilities Director Meeting Date: October 17, 2006 Subject: Contract Extension for Park Construction and Administration Services INTRODUCTION City Council is asked to authorize a contract extension with Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Associates for additional assistance with 2006 park construction projects. BACKGOUND AND DISCUSSION In May, City Council authorized a contract extension with Bonestroo for park construction inspection and administration services in an amount not to exceed $75,000 for the following projects: Huber Park Countryside Parks (3) Tahpah Park Stans Park Trails Church Addition Park Greenfield West Park Although we anticipated that the costs for this service would be higher based on the volume of work, this amount was chosen to ensure that the funds were used diligently on the eight projects. Stuart Krahn from Bonestroo notified me that we are at approximately 90% of the allocated funding from the period May-October. In discussing the status of the current projects and future needs with Andrea Weber, we anticipate needing continued services from Bonestroo only for the Huber Park project through 2007 and Tahpah Park, which is anticipated to be complete by the end of October. Andrea Weber would oversee construction of the Southbridge Savanna Oaks park that recently began, and the completion of Countryside parks and Church Addition park. I anticipate that Tahpah and Huber will require an additional $30,000 in funding for construction administration. Since the preliminary $75,000 for all park projects was lower than what we anticipated our actual costs would be, the project budgets for Huber and Tahpah contained funding that would cover this additional cost. I did discuss having Engineering provide future construction administration and inspection services with Mr. Loney, and while that may be possible for 2007 projects, we agreed that it would be best to continue our relationship with Bonestroo for completion of Tahpah and Huber parks. VISIONING RELATIONSHIP F. Housekeeping Item REQUESTED ACTION If Council concurs, move to authorize an additional $30,000 for construction administration services from Bonestroo Rosene Anderlik Associates.
