TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />Mayor and Council <br /> <br />Pat Klaers, City Administrator <br /> <br />April 12, 2004 <br /> <br />Building Construction Project Update: Kraus Anderson <br /> <br />Item 5.5. <br /> <br />Representatives from Kraus-Anderson, the construction management firm for the Public <br />Safety-City Hall-Utilities project, are scheduled to be at this Ciw Council meeting. Don <br />Stutesman and/or Jim Beckxvith will be in attendance. Items to discuss `*vith the City Council <br />include a general update on the status of the project; plus some specific issues, including, but <br />not lhmted to: <br /> <br />· Status of thc masonry work and possible action against The Saint Paul Companies to <br /> recover city expenses beyond the original bid amount. <br /> <br />· Status of the Public Safety gun range. <br /> <br />· Explanation of the City Hall project dumpster bill. <br /> <br />· Timetable for completion of the Utilities, the City Hall Council Chambers and <br /> Wellness Room, outside landscaping, and the punch list items. <br /> <br />The Pubhc Safety-City HaH-Utilities construction project is nearing completion. It has been a <br />long and complex and expensive project. Planning for the project began in summer 2001. <br />The planning phase ',vas folloxved by construction starting on the Pubhc Safety and Utilities <br />facilities in summer 2002. These txvo projects xvere completed in the summer of 2003 and <br />then the Citw Hall and old Police Station rcmodchng project began. We are now completing <br />that phase of the project and the entire construction project is scheduled to be finalized this <br />summer. It has been difficult to do this project xvhile remaining open to the pubhc and <br />continuing to provide quahty and accessible public services. This type of project alxvays <br />requires a balance between public convenience, the length of time to do the project, and <br />money. Overall, I bcheve that both I-2raus Anderson and Tushie Montgomery have done a <br />very good job for the city. Has the project gone perfecdy...the ansxver of course is no, but <br />has the project been successful... I behevc the ansxver is yes. <br /> <br />S:N(iouncilN1):~t~ 2004¥7onstruction Update.doc <br /> <br /> <br />
