CITY OF CHANHASSEN <br />PUBLIC WORKS FACILITY <br />Contact: Paul Oehme <br />Director of Public Works & City Engineer <br />p. (952) 227 -1169 <br />e. poehme @ci.chanhassen.mn.us <br />The City of Chanhassen public works <br />project Initially began by looking at re- <br />using an existing building in the area for <br />their public works building. Several <br />buildings were analyzed before it <br />became apparent that the local office/ <br />warehouse buildings could not meet <br />the unique challenges of the <br />department. This, coupled with the fact <br />that the existing public works building <br />was on a desirable site for <br />development, led the staff and design <br />team to develop a concept for a new <br />building on an adjacent city owned <br />property. The building was designed to <br />meet the current and future needs of <br />the department while minimizing <br />negative impacts on the existing <br />wetlands surrounding the site. The end <br />result is a state -of -the art public works <br />department surrounded by a mature, <br />fully- developed natural landscape. <br />During the schematic design phase <br />numerous models were developed to <br />share with the City board and City <br />employees to refine the design to meet <br />everyone's expectations. <br />The project utilized a construction <br />manager approach which allowed the <br />staff to better itemize and prioritize their <br />needs throughout the process. This, <br />coupled with an aggressive bidding <br />climate, allowed the building to come in <br />well under budget and on schedule. <br />New public works facility <br />88,300 square feet <br />• Completion in February 2010 <br />• Construction cost <br />$8,400,000 <br />TEAM MEMBERS WHO WORKED ON THIS <br />PROJECT WHO ARE ALSO ASSIGNED TO <br />YOUR PROJECT: <br />Jeff Oertel, Project Manager <br />Thomas Stromsodt, Architect <br />Brenda Dever.
