515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 551174600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />MAYOR <br />Michael I. Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Mercian <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />TO: Mayor Fahey & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Joel Hanson, City Administrator <br />DATE: February 20, 1998 <br />RE: Historical Society Addition <br />The first item we need to act on at Tuesday's meeting is an agreement for construction management <br />services with RVK Architects. Dick Krumm of RVK has presented a draft agreement to me which I have <br />asked him to modify. I will not have the revised agreement in my possession until early next week. I <br />hope to have it in final form for Wednesday's meeting. Mr. Krumm is proposing a maximum cost of <br />$13,500 (6% of $225,000) to handle all construction management services. This includes some on -site <br />observation. <br />Attached are drawings for the proposed addition to City Center. Plans and specifications are prepared and <br />are available for your review prior to Wednesday's meeting. There are multiple bid packages prepared in <br />order that we can attempt to attain the lowest possible bid/quote on various construction components. <br />Therefore, I am recommending that we authorize the advertisement for bids for this project with a due <br />date of Wednesday, March 18, 1998. Evaluation of the bids received and recommendations for award <br />will be made at our meeting of March 25, 1998. Mr. Krumm has informed me that he expects the total <br />cost of this addition to be $250,000 or less. He will be present at Wednesday's meeting to answer your <br />questions regarding the proposed project. <br />Also attached is the proposed agreement between the City of Little Canada and Little Canada Historical <br />Society relative to the construction of this addition, their assistance in its financing, and our agreement to <br />enter into a lease with them. They will be discussing this revised agreement at their Tuesday meeting and <br />I anticipate their approval at that time. Subject to their approval, I would recommend adoption by the <br />City to consummate this transaction. <br />It should also be noted that earlier agenda topics include the presentation of two donations to the <br />Historical Society to assist in the financing of this addition. One is from Lake Owasso Residence <br />Volunteer Council and the other is from the Little Canada Fire Department. <br />Should you have any comments or questions regarding this project in the meantime, please let me know. <br />JRH:kpv <br />Enclosures <br />Page 69 <br />
