d Item No. I/ r P Staff Report No. fir / Meeting Date: June 23, 1997 • Type of Business: CB WK: Work Session;PH:Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB:City Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Mayor/ Council Members From: Cathy Bennett, Director of Economic Development Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Resolution Approving Project Management Services Agreement with WAI Continuum for the Development of the Community Center Date of Report: June 18, 1997 As the Phase I Community Center Project is proceeding, it has quickly become very apparent that the details concerning the project are cumbersome and time consuming yet very important to its overall success. At the suggestion of attorney Bob Long, Chuck asked WAI Continuum to draft an 40 agreement for Project Management Services. WAI Continuum has years of expertise in representing owners on projects such as the City Community Center. They are very familiar with the problems that arise and how to quickly and efficiently deal with them to ensure that timeline and project scopes are met. WAI is proposing to work on an hourly basis but expects that a project of this size could cost between $30,000 - $45,000. To minimize their time, Chuck has asked that I work closely with WAI representatives on the project. There are many things that I can take the lead on and oversee while having WAI to provide guidance and the expertise in dealing with construction problems. They have agreed to provide us with a milestone figure of $30,000 but we may also request reports at anytime throughout the project. The resolution would authorize WAI to represent the City, when needed, regarding the Community Center Project. I believe that their expertise is critical to ensuring that the City gets the quality that they are expecting within the timeframe needed for all players. • n` Director Economic Development
