j .. MEMO TO: Mounds View City Council FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Did c or Parks, Recreation a Foe r ' DATE: March 9, 1983 RE: Recap of winter warming house buildings As you are aware, the Mounds View City Council directed staff to purchase three porLablc classroom buildings from the Elk River School District to be used as park shelter buildings at Groveland, Woodcrest and Hillview neighborhood parks. The City Council initially allocated $24,000 to complete the project; $15,000 of which was to be used for the actual purchase of the buildings and the remaining $9,000 to be used for modifications and foundations for each of the buildings. Staff indicated at a City Council meeting in January that the budgeted amount of $24,000 would be exceeded due to additional electrical costs that were not projected due to the electric furnaces needing additional modification because of the three phase motors and also additional amperage being required at each building to power the new furnace and light system within the new buildings. Staff has included a sub -ledger report that outlines all of the specific costs associated with the warming house program. The expenses can basically be broken down into four categories: 1. The first contract with Stenco Construction for a total of $6,750.00 which included the footings, reroofing of the building,, door replacements, and other associated carpentry work sucn as replacement of sills, studding in of walls, etc. 2. The second expenditure would be for fill sand totalling $305.20 which was used at all three locations for not only mixing the mortar but also some backfill sand was required at Groveland Park around the footings. 3. The third expenditure was for Smith Lumber whibh totalled $1,984.39 for materials necessary to build the three buildings including blocks, shingles, tar paper, two new doors, 2 x 4's for interior stud walls and wafer board. 4. The fourth expenditure would be the contractor Ernst Machinery for $15,000.00 for the three buildings. Total expenditures for the warming house buildings were $29,329.43 which would be a cost overrun of $5,329.43. Staff had initially projected an overrun of $4,000.00 for the project based on initial electrical estimates. The additional increase of $1,400.00 is attributable to Groveland Park as we were unable to run from the pole next to the building and had to add approximately 20 feet in wire and trenching costs to the building.
