Fahey <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />RE: Spooner Park Shelter (Advertisement for Bids & Call for <br />Special Meeting to Consider Award of Bids) <br />Attached is information from RVK Architects relative to the <br />construction of a new shelter in Spooner Park. You will note <br />that the project budget has increased from $120,000 to $130,000. <br />The architect has included some bid alternates that should allow <br />us to meet the initial budget of $120,000 if favorable bids are <br />not received on the total package. It should also be noted that <br />another $5,000 should be added to this project budget to allow <br />for the relocation of the current Spooner Park shelter to Pioneer <br />Park. Therefore, the total project amount (based upon the <br />architect's shelter estimates) would equal $135,000. <br />A key component of this project was additional funding to support <br />the construction budget. A funding status report is as follows: <br />City Capital Improvement Budget <br />Canadian Days <br />Lake Owasso Residence Volunteer Council <br />North Ramsey 500th Lions Club <br />Total: <br />Projected to be received: <br />Canadian Days <br />Fire Department <br />$60,000 <br />20,000 <br />12,500 <br />5,000 <br />$97,500 <br />10,000 <br />Based upon the project's current budget, we are presently $27,500 <br />short of the amount needed. While I am confident that additional <br />amounts will be received, I cannot guarantee they will fully fund <br />this deficit. Therefore, if the project is to proceed, we will <br />need to allocate additional funds from the City's Capital <br />Improvement Budget and /or hope for a positive variance in the <br />bids to reduce the amount necessary from additional sources. <br />Page 154 <br />
