INTRODUCTION: The City of Mounds View is located in Ramsey County on the north side of the Twin Cities metropolitan area. Located at the junction of I-35W and State Highway 10, Mounds View is the home of over 150 businesses and is just 10 miles from Minneapolis and St. Paul. With a population of 12,155 and a land area of just over 4 square miles, it is known for its large residential lots. Mounds View’s existing Public Works Facility was constructed in 1964 and expanded in 1987. Since that time, the necessary Public Works equipment fleet (i.e. snow plows, pickups and lawn mowers) has expanded. In addition, today’s equipment tends to be larger in size than equipment from previous years. As a result the existing facility is severely undersized, and in need of replacement. II. OBJECTIVES: The goal of the space needs analysis is to review the existing Public Works Facility, the Cold Storage Building and the Road Salt Storage Building along with the existing equipment fleet and establish the necessary square footage to allow for appropriate circulation of equipment and personnel. The resulting report shall lay out the space required for storage, administrative, support (i.e. locker room, lunch room, training/conference room), equipment maintenance and general garage. Mechanical and electrical shall also be included to insure sufficient space is available for building systems. In addition, a budgeting estimate for facility construction shall be prepared. III. PROJECT SCOPE: Task 1.0 – Review existing facilities/fleet. The selected consultant shall review the existing facilities to establish the necessary storage requirements. Staff will provide the consultant with a list of equipment to be transferred to the new facility. As a general guideline the consultant shall assume all fleet assets will be staged in the new facility. Task 2.0 – Using industry planning standards, along with the information gathered in Task 1.0, the consultant shall prepare a draft space needs/budgeting document which provides sufficient space for the immediate needs of the department. Consultant shall be prepared to provide a future planning factor which could reasonably be expected to allow for future expansion. Task 3.0 – Review draft document with the PW staff to finalize the space needs/budgeting document as presented in Task 2.0. Staff will present this information to the City Council for review and discussion, consultant may be requested to attend this meeting.
