In order to deliver this <br /> project on the anticipated schedule,we need to assemble the remainder of our project team. <br /> The city project team consists of the arena manager,parks and recreation director, city administrator, city <br /> engineer, and Councilmember Westgaard. Staff seeks direction regarding other members from Council, <br /> commissions, or staff. <br /> Attached is a Request for Proposal (RFP) to solicit construction management services. Staff <br /> recommends adding a Construction Manager (CM) to the team to facilitate the cost exploration and <br /> sequencing of work for the efficient and proper allocation of the available funds through the entire design <br /> process. The CM will be part of an integrated team to assure that the scope of work and the goals of the <br /> city are properly aligned through the design and construction process. Upon approval, staff will <br /> advertise,interview, and bring a recommendation to Council. <br /> The last integral outside member of the project team will be an independent commissioning agent. Their <br /> services will begin early in the design process and continue through construction. Their services are <br /> needed to independently evaluate the design, make recommendations to optimize systems, and test final <br /> systems to assure design criteria have been met and the facility operates as efficiently as possible. Staff <br /> seeks Council support to secure quotations for this service. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> ■ RFP for Construction Management Services <br /> The Elk River Vision <br /> A PehoMing community Pitb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional P,`01 W E H E 8 6 T <br /> service, and community engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INAWRE1 <br />
