16 <br />Why RJM Construction? <br />RJM considers ourselves an extension of the City of Elk River staff. We understand <br />the project needs from both a function and an aesthetic perspective. Through this <br />leveled approach, RJM will foster a spirit of collaboration with the project team in <br />meeting schedule and budget needs, while creating a facility that will serve the <br />community for years to come. <br />RJM brings leadership and provides value-based solutions whenever needed. <br />Our experienced staff anticipates what lies ahead and strives to protect your <br />interests. Our team keeps the project moving forward and true to your vision. <br />Project Understanding <br />With RJM’s significant history of preconstruction work on the Elk River Ice Arena <br />and Lion John Weicht Park Facilities we know how to make your vision a reality. <br />Since 2007, RJM has assisted 292 Design Group and JLG Architects with cost <br />estimating, scheduling, construction sequencing and value engineering. Through <br />these partners we have provided the City of Elk River our expertise in the decision <br />to renovate, build new, or relocate sites. The current plan incorporates and <br />balances the best ideas presented during this preconstruction phase and we are <br />excited to be your project partner. <br />With the addition of the Lion John Weicht Park Facilities, the City of Elk River can <br />further count on RJM’s experience and smooth project execution. We have worked <br />with several municipalities on both sports fields and park pavilion facilities. <br />We know that maintaining operations during construction—including access <br />to all facilities—holds equal importance to successful project completion. Our <br />understanding of the project phasing, including the shared parking lot and school <br />land deed process, will be paramount in developing a comprehensive project <br />schedule. <br />Ice Arena Experience <br />RJM has extensive experience working on ice arena projects, and we know how to <br />skillfully lead the team. Ice arenas are specialized facilities that must withstand <br />extreme climate fluctuations. In Minnesota, this is especially important during <br />the summer months. We understand the key components that require careful <br />consideration in the design and construction of the building envelope including: <br />• Proper roofing material and insulation to limit condensation <br />• Under-slab vapor barrier selection and placement to avoid concrete curling <br />• Dehumidification manufacturers and system balancing to maximize efficiency <br />and performance <br />Of equal importance is the performance of the ice plant and playing surface to <br />make for an enjoyable and competition-level experience for both athletes and <br />spectators. RJM has also completed many system replacements and refrigeration <br />updates. <br />Elk River Ice Arena and Lion John Weicht Park Facilities <br />Part III: Key Qualifications & Approach <br />RJM handled <br />this project with <br />outstanding service <br />and delivery.  They <br />thought of every detail, <br />providing outstanding <br />communication and <br />delivery of the work as <br />if we were their only <br />client.  We appreciate <br />the outstanding service. <br />Ann Bourg <br />Cushman & Wakefield <br />“ “
