CITY OF SHAKOPEE
MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator
From: Mark Themig, Parks, Recreation, and Facilities Director
Meeting Date: March 15, 2005
Subject: Aquatic Park Building Design Services
INTRODUCTION
City Council is asked to provide direction to staff on the Aquatic Park building design
services.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The 2005 Building Fund includes $660,000 for replacing the existing building at the
Aquatic Park. In order to complete this work between the 2005 and 2006 swimming
season, we need to begin design soon so demolition and construction can begin when
the Aquatic Park closes in August.
The city has three firms that we are currently under contract that could provide design
services for this building:
. BKV is designing the 1 yth Avenue Sports Complex building
. Ortel Architects is designing the Public Works building
. Bonestroo is designing Huber Park, and may be designing the
restroom/storage/support building if approved by Council this evening.
Each of these firms is qualified to do the work, and I believe we have been satisfied with
their performance. Rather than conduct a full request for proposal process, I would
propose that Council authorize staff to ask for proposals from these three firms. This
would require less time and be less expensive than a full RFP process. However, I have
heard some concerns about the amount of work that select consultants are getting from
the city, so I wanted to seek direction from you.
REQUESTED ACTION
If City Council concurs, it should, by motion direct staff to seek proposals for the design
of the Aquatic Park building from BKV, Ortel Architects, and Bonestroo, Rosene,
Anderlik.

Description:
This project would replace the existing service building, as well as add additional play features to
enhance attendance.
2005 - Improvements: Demolish and replace existing building, add play features, $600,000
(Building Fund)
2005 - Engineering/Admin: Design and engineering services for project, $60,000 (10% of total
project costs) (Building Fund)
2008 -Improvements: Waterslide has 3-5 year life expectancy remaininQ.WiII need to be
Justification:
The service building was constructed in 1968, and has reached its life expectancy. Due to the
type of construction (cinder block and concrete), little can be done to make improvements. The
plumbing needs significant upgrading to repair leaks.
Other Comments:
Building demolition and replacement is estimated to cost $500,000. The additional $100,000
would be used for play features such as sprays, waterfalls, etc. that would enhance attendance.
j More accurate estimates would be needed once scope of project is determined.
~ OperatinQ Costs:
No significant increase in operating costs anticipated over existing costs.
