LINDAU COMPANIES, INC. PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS 1074 OLn HwY 35 HuosoN, WI 54016 March 14, 2O 12 (715) 386-4444 OFFICE Rich Czech Arena Manager 1000 School Street Elk River, MN 55330 Re: Elk River Skating Facility -Structural Assessment Report Dear Rich, Per your direction we have prepared this proposal for the Structural Assessment for the "Barn" ice skating facility in the City of Elk River. We visited the site on Wednesday, February 15, 2012 as an aid in preparing this proposal. This Structural Assessment is a follow up to the work Lindau Companies, Inc. performed in 2009. At that time some of the steel structure had corroded but we did not feel it posed a structural concern if remedied. We propose to review the same areas, as well as some new areas, and note any further deterioration. Additionally we recommend a testing agency be employed to measure the thickness of various steel elements. American Engineering and Testing uses an Ultrasonic Thickness Transducer to determine the thickness of the base metal within corroded steel. The report will note our opinions and recommendations. Our review, observations, and opinions relate solely to the building structure and not to non-structural items such as architecture, egress, mechanical and plumbing systems, or environmental considerations. In the case that we note non-structural issues within our report it is for the sole purpose of noting the need for the review of these items by a professional trained in that discipline. Additionally we suggest that a review of the building layout and architecture be reviewed by an architect in order to present potential remodeling and upgrading options. Contract Literature and Scone of Services At this time we anticipate our scope of work to be as follows: • Review the previously exposed steel structure for any changes in condition since our last visit. • Expose a few areas of steel structure and comment on our findings. • Present a proposed timeline for the structure outlining what we believe to be its useful future life.
