Item 4.6. ELK RIVER ARENA 1000 SCHOOL STREET ELK RIVER, MN 55330 (612) 441 - 2956 Fax (612) 241 - 9432 To: Mayor Hank Duitsman and City Council Members Froc~n: Rich Czech, Arena Manager Cliff Skogstad, City Building Official Date: March 12, 1998 Re: Dehumidification, Ventilation, and Heating in Arena This is a follow up memo from February 26, 1998 (see attachment A). Previously we were proposing that Delano Erickson Architects conduct a feasibility study to determine what steps need to be taken to relieve the arena of the previously stated problems as well as an estimated cost of the project. After reviewing other options we feel that we would be better served if we had a Consulting Engineer conduct the feasibility study rather than an Architect. Using a Consulting Engineer instead of an Architect will cut out the middle person. Most of the work that needs to be performed is mechanical and electrical, thus an Architect would need to consult an Engineer on the project. After the cost of hiring an Engineer, the Architect would then add their expenses, increasing the over all cost of the feasibility study. If, at~er the feasibility study, the city decides to move forward with this project, Minnegasco would have a rebate program that would help defray some of the cost of the engineering of the project and for the equipment (See attachment B). This could be in the range of $2,400.00 - $3,800 for engineering and $10,800 - $17,100 for the equipment. This would depend on several items which would be determined once the engineering bid spects documents are completed. We propose that the city hirers Consulting Engineers, Nelson - Rudie and Associates, Inc. to conduct the feasibility study (See attachment C). Nelson - Rudie and Associates, Inc. We have called several ice arenas that have had Nelson - Rudie and Associciates, Inc. involved in their rink, and all references have been very favorable.
