MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Council
Mark McNeill, City Administrator ~
From: Mark Themig, Facilities and Recreation Director ,~
Meeting Date: April 20, 2004
Subject: Selection of Soccer/Athletic Facility Building Architect
INTRODUCTION
City Council is ask to authorize appropriate City officials to enter into agreement with
BKV Group for architectural services for the soccer/athletic facility building on 1 th
Avenue.
BACKGROUND
In March, City Council authorized staff to issue request for proposals (RFPs) for
architectural services for a park building at the soccer/athletic complex. We issued RRPs
to seven firms that have experience in park building design, and we received four
proposals.
The RFP specified that the successful firm should work with the City to:
. Works with staff to prepare three preliminary design concepts and cost estimates I
based on needs that have been identified by the City and user groups. ,
. Present the concept plans to user groups and adjacent residents. t
I
. Incorporate this feedback into a final design, whJGh would be presented to the Par~s
and Recreation Advisory Board and City Council for approval. .
. Prepare and present final construction drawings, project manuals, and bid
specifications, and issue bid documents.
. Observe and inspect construction work.
The site is located adjacent to Sun Path Elementary and Shakopee Area Catholic
Education Center. Shakopee Public Utilities Commission will be constructing three
buildings in the vincinity
DISCUSSION
We received the following proposals:
Firm To Not Exceed Project Amount
BKV Group $31,350
Ortel Architects $36,195
Hagen, Christensen & Mcilwain $39,690 ,
Phil Rader Architect $56,600
BKV was the City's architect for the Police and Library Buildings, and is currently
providing architectural services for Public Utilities' design of their well buildings. This
existing relationship with Public Utilities would likely offer some benefits to the City in
that BKV is familiar with the project and has completed the conceptual design stage fpr
Public Utilities' buildings. However, although our building should share similar materials
and design, I believe we should incorporate some design elements that differentiate t~e
building from Public Utilities' buildings. BKV has indicated that they can provide this type
of design.
PROJECT BUDGET
The 2004 CIP includes $350,000 for this project, which is based on other similar park
buildings constructed in Eden Prairie, Shorewood, and Shoreview. The building would
be built using commercial and vandal-resistant designs.
REQUESTED ACTION
If City Council concurs, move to authorize appropriate City officials to enter into
agreement with BKV Group for the soccer/athletic facility building architectural, services.
