REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 03/20/14 Business Item: Special Item Number: 3A Division: Superintendent's Office Originating Source: Cris Gears, Superintendent Agenda Item: Executive Search Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD CHAIR AND GENERAL COUNSEL TO NEGOTIATE A CONTRACT IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $8,000 FOR EXECUTIVE RECRUITMENT SERVICES WITH SPRINGSTED, INC., AND TO AUTHORIZE THE 3-MEMBER SEARCH COMMITTEE TO WORK WITH SPRINGSTED TO DEVELOP A PROPOSED WORK PLAN AND TIMELINE FOR REVIEW BY THE FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE ON APRIL 10, 2014. Background: At the March 6 th Board meeting, Chair Gunyou appointed a three-member Search Committee comprised of the Board Chair, Vice-Chair Dan Freeman and Commissioner John Gibbs to develop the framework for an open, competitive search for a new Superintendent that focuses on internal candidates, but could be expanded if necessary to a regional or national level if the internal effort is not successful. On March 19 th, the Committee met in an open, noticed public meeting to interview two representatives from local executive recruitment firms (Sharon Klumpp from Springsted, Inc. and Richard Fursman from Brimeyer-Fursman) to consider their qualifications and experience, and to discuss the approach each firm would take to assist the Board with the upcoming search. At the conclusion of the two interviews, the Committee members expressed unanimous support for the Springsted firm (References 3A-1 and 3A-2), and offered to propose that the Board approve the recommended action at the March 20 th Board meeting. If the recommended action is approved by the Board, the Search Committee will meet again with Ms. Klumpp to develop a proposed work plan and search timeline that would be brought back to the Finance and Administration Committee for review on April 10.

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 03/20/14 Business Item: Consent Item Number: 5A Division: Planning, Design & Technology Originating Source: Jonathan Vlaming, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: 5-year CIP: Discussion of Proposed Principles and Priorities Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO APPROVE THE 5-YEAR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM PRINCIPLES AND PRIORITIES AS DETERMINED IN THE MARCH 6, 2014 FINANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING. The following information was prepared by Jonathan Vlaming. Background: Staff is seeking Board review and guidance on overarching CIP principles and priorities to be used in the preparation of the draft 2015-2019 Capital Improvement Program. Historically, funding principles and priorities for capital improvement projects have been adopted by the Board of Commissioners in the Asset Management Program, General Fund Operating Budget, Policy Plan and Vision Plan. These principles and priorities, coupled with prior input from Board discussions, served as the basis for creation of the proposed set of CIP Principles and Priorities (Reference 4A-1 in the Finance and Administration Committee section of the 03/06/14 Committee Packet).

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 03/20/14 Business Item: Consent Item Number: 5B Division: Planning, Design & Technology Originating Source: Jonathan Vlaming, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: Lake Minnetonka LRT Regional Trail CR 19 Grade Separated Crossing Agreements Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD CHAIR TO ENTER INTO A COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF TONKA BAY FOR THE GRADE-SEPARATED CROSSING OF COUNTY ROAD 19, UPON SATISFACTORY COMPLETION AS DETERMINED BY GENERAL COUNSEL. MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD CHAIR TO AMEND THE EXISTING HENNEPIN COUNTY REGIONAL RAIL AUTHORITY AGREEMENT NO. A09222 FOR THE LAKE MINNETONKA REGIONAL TRAIL COUNTY ROAD 19 CROSSING, UPON SATISFACTORY COMPLETION AS DETERMINED BY GENERAL COUNSEL. MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE BOARD CHAIR AND SUPERINTENDENT TO ENTER INTO A LIMITED USE/LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH XCEL ENERGY FOR THE LAKE MINNETONKA REGIONAL TRAIL COUNTY ROAD 19 CROSSING, UPON SATISFACTORY COMPLETION AS DETERMINED BY GENERAL COUNSEL. The following information was prepared by Kelly Grissman, Director of Planning. Background: In 2009, the Park District applied for and received a 2014 Federal Transportation Enhancement Grant in the amount of $1,040,000 to construct a grade-separated crossing of County Road 19 (CR 19) along the Lake Minnetonka Regional Trail in Tonka Bay (Reference 5B-1). The trail is very popular, with over 385,000 annual visits, and CR 19 is also heavily used as it is one of the primary links between the southern and northern communities along Lake Minnetonka. Accordingly, the CR 19 crossing is identified as one of the Park District s top at-grade road crossing candidates for grade-separation. This project is also funded by a Hennepin County Bikeway Grant in the amount of $200,000 and State Legacy Grants in the amount of $1,790,000. Cooperative Agreement with Tonka Bay Staff prepared a Draft Cooperative Agreement formalizing the Park District s responsibility to design, build, operate, and maintain the grade-separated crossing within Tonka Bay (Reference 5B-2). As part of the Agreement, the Park District is responsible to construct two local, permanent trail connections which the City will own, operate, and maintain in exchange for the City s cooperation allowing for a temporary trail detour through a local park and along local streets. The detour is essential to keep the trail open for public use during construction, which is expected to begin this summer and be completed in late

summer of 2015. Signs will be posted along the trail prior and during the construction alerting users to the detours and the project. The Draft Cooperative Agreement is currently under review by Tonka Bay. Park District staff does not anticipate significant changes. Amendment to Agreement No. A09222 with HCRRA This project also requires an amendment to an existing agreement (Agreement No. A09222) with Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority (HCRRA) as the Park District currently owns, operates, and maintains the Regional Trail via a permit from HCRRA, the property owner of the Regional Trail corridor. The amendment is required to expand the 16 -wide corridor centered within the HCRRA property to include the grade-separated crossing area, which is offset to the north of the centerline at the request of HCRRA staff to minimize potential impacts in the event that the corridor is used for additional types of transit such as LRT or BRT. In addition, the existing permit includes a 30-day vacation/termination clause, which is not satisfactory when developing a trail bridge with a 50-year lifespan. Park District and HCRRA staff are exploring language that will provide the Park District rights to the property that are aligned with the useful life of the grade-separated crossing. Staff prepared a preliminary Draft Amendment for review and approval by the Park District Board and HCRRA Board (Reference 5B-3). The Draft Amendment is currently under review by HCCRA. Park District staff anticipates that HCRRA may propose changes to the agreement in respect to the termination clause as the proposed language puts a significant financial burden on HCRRA in the event HCRRA terminates the lease prior to 50 years. While HCRRA may request changes, staff is confident that the two agencies will be able to craft language that protects both parties interests. Limited Use/License Agreement with Xcel Completion of the grade-separated crossing may require a limited use permit or license agreement with Xcel Energy. Staff does not anticipate the need for a long-term limited-use permit or license; however, it may be beneficial for a short-term limited-use permit or license for purposes of providing additional construction staging due to the project site constraints. Obtaining Board approval for this at this stage in the project will allow staff to act quickly, efficiently and with minimal delay to the project schedule in the event a limited use permit or license agreement is indeed required. Upon Board approval of the recommended actions, the agreements will be reviewed and finalized by General Counsel, at which time they will be forward to the Board Chair and Superintendent for signature. Relationship to the Vision The Request for Action supports the following elements of the Vision Plan: Inspire people to recreate Collaborate across boundaries Work with local and regional partners to finalize the long-range regional trail network within Hennepin County

Relationship to Policy Statement The Request for Action supports the following goals of the Policy Plan: Policy IV-c: Regional Trails Policy X-c: Equal Opportunity Policy X-g: Design Standards

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 03/20/14 Business Item: Consent Item Number: 5C Division: Planning, Design & Technology Originating Source: Jonathan Vlaming, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: Cost Sharing Agreement with Maple Grove for Rush Creek Regional Trail Crossing Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO ENTER INTO A COST SHARING AGREEMENT WITH THE CITY OF MAPLE GROVE IN THE AMOUNT OF $200,000 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE RUSH CREEK REGIONAL TRAIL CROSSING OF INTERSTATE 94. The following information was prepared by Kelly Grissman, Director of Planning. Background: On December 5, 2013, the Park and Trail Operations Committee indicated its support to financially participate in the construction of the Rush Creek Regional Trail grade-separated crossing of Interstate 94 in Maple Grove. The trail crossing is part of a larger MnDOT and City of Maple Grove initiative to construct a new overpass at 105th Avenue (Reference 5C-1). As part of the larger project, the Park District s proposed financial contribution is limited to $200,000 (payable in 2015). In addition, the Park District is not responsible to design, construct, or own the trail crossing structure. If Three Rivers were to independently develop a grade-separated crossing for the Rush Creek Regional Trail, the construction cost alone would range from $1.5 to $3.5 Million. Under the terms of the proposed agreement, the Park District will be responsible to operate and provide routine maintenance of the trail crossing once the crossing is connected to the greater regional trail system. The Park District is still in the land acquisition phase of this portion of the Rush Creek Regional Trail; as such, staff does not anticipate that the adjacent regional trail segments will be constructed in the near future. The City of Maple Grove is willing to serve as the Park District s agent in respect to MnDOT coordination, and has offered to front the cost of the regional trail component of the bridge as long as there is a commitment from the Park District for reimbursement in 2015. Park District and City staff worked collaborative to outline the cost sharing arrangement and subsequent responsibilities in a Draft Cost Sharing Agreement (Reference 5C-2).The Cost Sharing Agreement will be forwarded to the City of Maple Grove for City Council consideration and approval following Park District Board of Commissioner approval.

Relationship to the Vision The Request for Action supports the following goals of the Vision Plan: Inspire people to recreate Connect people to nature Create vibrant places Collaborate across boundaries Work with local and regional partners to finalize the long-range regional trail network within Hennepin County Work collaboratively to address new funding sources for operation, maintenance and rehabilitation of the regional trail network as part of the multimodal transportation system Relationship to Policy Statement The Request for Action supports the following elements of the Policy Plan: Policy IV-c: Regional Trails Policy IX-b: Regional Trail Corridor Policy X-c: Equal Opportunity Policy X-g: Design Standards

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 03/20/14 Business Item: Unfinished Item Number: 6A Division: Recreation, Education & Nat. Resources Originating Source: Tom McDowell, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: Proposed Direction Pertaining to the National Register of Historic Places Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT TO SEEK ENROLLMENT ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES FOR APPROPRIATE HISTORIC STRUCTURES WITHIN THE PARK DISTRICT. The above motion was recommended for approval at the March 6, 2014, Recreation, Education and Natural Resources Committee with a five to one vote. In accordance with the Rules of the Board, this item is being placed under Unfinished Business rather than Consent Items for final Board consideration and/or approval. The following information was prepared by Tom McDowell, Associate Superintendent, and Bill Walker, Cultural Resources Program Coordinator. Background: In 2011, the Board approved a Cultural Resources Management Plan for the Park District which affirms that the primary goal of the Park District s cultural resources program is to: identify, protect and manage the broad range of cultural resources within the Park District s jurisdiction in alignment with the highest professional standards, and to interpret these resources to promote understanding of human connections with the natural world. This goal is grounded in the Park District s founding legislation (MN Statute 398.07), which lists providing public access to historic sites as one of the primary duties of the Board. It also reinforces the Park District s mission by providing visitors tangible links to past human interactions with the natural world. To aid in achieving this goal, staff is seeking Board support for the preferred procedure for nominating eligible historic properties within the Park District for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). Administered by the National Park Service, the NRHP is our Nation s official list of historic districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects that have been documented and evaluated for their significant contributions to American history, architecture, archaeology, engineering or culture. As a management tool, the NRHP is often the key to acquiring the community support and funding necessary to provide for the longterm protection of our most significant cultural resources. A National Register listing is generally a prerequisite for accessing historic preservation grant monies, such as the Legacy Amendment funds administered by the Minnesota Historical Society. In addition, there are a number of Federal and private/non-profit grant programs that are also available only to NRHP listed properties.

As a government agency, Three Rivers is already required to consider potential impacts on cultural resources during project planning to ensure compliance with all applicable federal, state and local regulations. As such, listing a property on the NRHP does not add significant additional restrictions to the Park District s existing rights to alter or dispose of said property. Staff is requesting that National Register listing be explored as one reliable way to assist in preserving and interpreting the Park District s cultural resources. Currently there are two historic structures within the Park District that were recently certified as NRHP eligible by the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO: The Noerenberg Estate Barn (c. 1912) located at Noerenberg Memorial Park. The Schmid Farmstead Ruins (c.1876) located at Lake Minnetonka Regional Park. If the requested action is approved, staff will develop and submit a NRHP nomination for each of these structures. The nomination process, which will not require the expenditure of general fund dollars, can take as much as a year to complete given the many stages of review. In the case of both the Noerenberg Estate Barn and the Schmid Farmstead Ruins, staff has identified necessary preservation initiatives that would be eligible for grant funding if the properties were listed on the National Register. Relationship to the Vision: This initiative supports the actionable goals described in the Vision Plan by creating vibrant places, inspiring park guests to recreate, and ensuring the protection and preservation of Park District resources. Relationship to Policy Statement: The Request for Action supports the following goals of the Policy Statement: Policy I - Purpose of the Park District Policy IX Recreation Use: C. Special Interest Recreation Activities. D. Outdoor Education.

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 03/20/14 Business Item: Unfinished Item Number: 6B Division: Planning, Design & Technology Originating Source: Jonathan Vlaming, Assoc. Supt. Agenda Item: French Regional Park Pavement Rehabilitation Project and Consultant Agreement Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO AUTHORIZE THE SUPERINTENDENT AND BOARD CHAIR TO ENTER INTO A CONSULTANT AGREEMENT WITH STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES INC. TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR THE FRENCH REGIONAL PARK PAVEMENT REHABILITATION PROJECT, WITH A TOTAL HOURLY NOT-TO-EXCEED FEE IN THE AMOUNT OF $377,500 INCLUDING REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES, AND TO ESTABLISH A TOTAL CONSULTANT BUDGET IN THE AMOUNT OF $415,250 TO INCLUDE A TEN PERCENT CONTINGENCY WITH FINANCING FROM THE 2014 ASSET MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. The following information was prepared by Josh Bowe, Civil Engineer. Background: The 2014 Asset Management Program includes funding for the engineering of a pavement rehabilitation, water main replacement, and boat ramp reconstruction project at French Regional Park. The project includes pavement rehabilitation of the main entrance road, car and boat trailer parking lots, Field Operations Center access road and parking lot, internal park trails, and the Medicine Lake Regional Trail within the park s boundary (Reference 6B-1). In conjunction with the pavement rehabilitation, best management practices will be incorporated to reduce pollutants from stormwater runoff and improve water quality in Medicine Lake. This project also includes the reconstruction of the boat ramp, a frequent source of operational and maintenance problems and park user complaints. Finally, the project also includes replacement of the water distribution system and isolated sanitary sewer repairs. Most of the water piping was in place when the Park District began acquiring the property in the 1970s and has reached the end of its service life, as evidenced by the numerous repairs of water main breaks that the Park District has undertaken over the past 10 years. Reconstruction of the boat ramp and the repairs to the water and sanitary piping are funded in the 2014 Asset Management Program and are expected to begin after Labor Day 2014 and to be completed prior to winter. The boat ramp will be closed for the duration of the boat ramp reconstruction project. Closure of the boat ramp will be coordinated with the City of Plymouth, with the intent of having the city boat ramp on the west side of Medicine Lake serve as an alternative boat launching location during construction. Park users will be notified of the boat ramp closure through on-site signage, postings on the Park District website, press releases, and any other appropriate means identified by the project team.

Pavement rehabilitation will begin in spring 2015 (subject to approval of the 2015 Asset Management Program) and is expected to be completed by fall 2015. An open house will be held during the summer of 2014 to inform park users of the upcoming construction projects and schedules. Though the Park will remain open during construction, temporary road closures and water service shutdowns will be required during the water system replacement project. The pavement rehabilitation construction in 2015 will be staged, completing construction in a specific area prior to disturbing other areas of the Park (Reference 6B- 2). Construction staging will be developed and finalized during design. Stantec Consulting Services Inc. is included in the current professional consulting services pool approved by the Board at their regular meeting last December. The proposed consultant fee and scope of work was cooperatively developed between Park District staff and the consultant. The proposed fee of $377,500 represents 8.5 percent of the estimated $4.4 million construction cost, which is consistent with industry standards and the trends that staff have observed on similar pavement rehabilitation projects recently completed. The Superintendent and staff recommend the consulting firm of Stantec Consulting Services Inc. be hired to provide design engineering services for the French Regional Park Pavement Rehabilitation project. A separate consultant agreement for construction administration services will be brought back to the board simultaneous with the award of construction contract, per our standard practices.

Questions

REQUEST FOR BOARD ACTION Meeting Date: 03/20/14 Business Item: Unfinished Item Number: 6C Division: Park and Trail Operations Originating Source: Boe Carlson, Associate Supt. Agenda Item: Approval of Overall Project Budget for the HSSA Redevelopment Project Superintendent s Recommendation: MOTION TO APPROVE A TOTAL PROJECT BUDGET OF $14,970,000, INCLUDING A 5% CONSTRUCTION CONTINGENCY, BASED ON PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT AS DISCUSSED AT THE MARCH 13 TH MEETING OF THE LONG-RANGE STRATEGIC INITIATIVES COMMITTEE, WITH FINANCING FROM THE HSSA CASH BALANCE, REVENUE BONDS, AND UNDESIGNATED FUND BALANCES. Background: At the continuation of the Strategic Initiatives Committee meeting on March 13 th, staff was directed to remove the following items from the list of proposed improvements associated with the HSSA Redevelopment Project: Stormwater and landscaping costs associated with the parking area owned by the City of Bloomington; flag poles; shelter station at the Normandale parking area; canopies over the ticket window and patrol entrance; the freight elevator (if allowed by the health department); ceiling tile in staff areas; AV system (monitors) in the dining area; stairs for staff access to the roof; and a reduction in the amount of ceramic tile in the restrooms and in the quality and quantity of casework. In addition, staff was asked to provide additional information on carpeting options, roof insulation, lighting, the lower-level freezer and the project contingency. Subsequent to the Committee meeting, seven bids for the remaining three contract divisions were received on March 18, 2014. Though the new bids came in $120,000 below the budgeted projection, staff is recommending that the overall project budget be reduced by $65,000 to reflect the fact that all other proposed budget reductions are only estimates, and are subject to final negotiations with selected contractors. Additional information requested by the Committee: The Committee requested additional information on the following items that are included on the list of items being removed from the project as per the recent Committee meetings: Reduction of Carpet Quality: The project team reviewed options to reduce carpet quality by utilizing recycled rubber tiles or similar materials. HSSA staff has utilized this product at the current chalet with limited success. Though the product appears to be wearing well, it is extraordinarily difficult to clean and maintain an acceptable appearance, taking two to three times as long to clean as other surfaces. The project Architect reviewed the bid quantities specified in the contract documents and is recommending a reduction in the amount for heavy duty carpet. A deduct change order of approximately $20,000 is anticipated without a reduction of quality. Eliminating the Service Elevator: The project team contacted the City code official and health inspector, and they do not require a separate service elevator from the

public elevator. However, more flooring and wall surface changes may be required in the public elevator to accommodate this use. A deduct change order of approximately $60,000 is anticipated without a reduction of quality. Construction Contingency: The proposed current contingency has been reduced from $650,000 to $611,000 to represent 5% of the total projected contract amounts and general conditions. A detailed memo prepared by the Director of Design (Reference 6C-1) is attached and outlines construction contingencies and their historical use in the Park District. The Committee requested additional information on the following items that are not included on the list of items being removed from the project as per the recent Committee meetings: Reduce the Roof Insulation by 2 : The project team met with mechanical engineers and consultants to discuss roof insulation options and other measures to reduce cost. A complete Energy Design Assistance report sponsored by Xcel Energy and CenterPoint Energy and conducted by the Weidt Group outlines four options to be evaluated and discussed by the project team to implement the best strategies based on the current budget, long term operational cost, payback periods, and potential Energy Construction Incentives. Information from design engineers and The Weidt Group indicates that a cost savings from a reduction in insulation may be better invested in high quality windows resulting in pay back periods of less than 5 years. Reduction in the quality of the Light Fixtures: In addition to the roofing insulation, the light fixtures are included in the Energy Design Assistance report and are identified as a key component in reducing the energy load with the use of LED fixtures, and are not recommended to be replaced with fluorescent fixtures. The report indicates that the LED light system reduces the electrical utility cost by 60%, from an estimated $30,000/year to $10,000/year. Elimination of the Lower Floor Freezer: The project team has identified a potential cost reduction of $10,000 with the elimination of the lower level freezer. However, maintaining the lower level freezer would allow for increased food storage and the ability to maintain inventory without as much reliance of the public elevator. The project team will continue to evaluate all contract work for value engineering reductions and other cost saving measures, and be fiscally responsible on spending for all other soft costs. By incorporating the reductions suggested at last week s Committee and reductions based the recently opened bids, staff recommends that the Board adopt a project budget of $14,970,000 (Reference 6C-2) to adequately deliver a successful project.

memo Date: March 14, 2014 To: From: Subject: Cris Gears, Superintendent and Secretary to the Board Amy Gurski, P.E., Director of Design Michael Horn, PLA, Senior Manager of Landscape Architecture HSSA Chalet: Construction Contingency In the implementation of architectural projects, Park District project managers typically deal with 3 different types of project contingencies. These include: design contingency, consultant contingency, and construction contingency. The purpose of this memo is to focus on construction contingency for Park District construction contracts, in response to Commissioners questions at yesterday s meeting regarding HSSA Chalet. What is construction contingency? The best definition of construction contingency is paraphrased from the American Institute of Architects (AIA): A predetermined amount or percentage of the contract held for unpredictable changes in the project. A contingency is a helpful risk management tool that financially prepares owners for addressing risk within the project. Contracts provide for contingencies to pay for unknown conditions such as design changes in scope or due to errors and omissions, or necessary construction changes that are realized on site during construction such as unsuitable soils or buried foundations. Owners should strive to provide a healthy contingency to the project to address risk related issues. If managed properly, a contingency can provide a safeguard for the designer, contractor, and owner to complete the project on budget. What is construction contingency typically used for? We looked at Eastman Nature Center s construction records, as a point of reference for HSSA Chalet, to describe what we might expect to spend contingency allowance on a typical building project. The types of unforeseen and unanticipated costs incurred with the contingency allowance for Eastman Nature Center were soil corrections, soil removal, demolition overages, structural changes, code compliance, and lighting modifications. What is the Park District s practice? The Park District has historically used the standard industry practice of allocating a ten percent (10%) contingency allowance for both architectural and engineering construction contracts. Construction contingency is not allocated for extra costs as it is a recognized budget allowance to account for potential unknowns during construction, and any unspent 3000 Xenium Lane North, Plymouth, MN 55441-1299 Phone: 763.559.9000

contingency is considered a savings to the total project budget. In the last five years, the following architectural projects with construction contracts over $250,000 were completed under budget (i.e. within the total project budget, including contingency allowance). In all cases, projects were completed under budget as the full contingency allowance was not used, resulting in an overall project budget savings shown in the last column.

It should be noted that total project budget under-runs are also consistently produced on engineering projects. The most recent example is last year s Fish Lake Pavement Rehabilitation project in which the 10% contingency allowance was not used: Total contract amount: $1,424,477 10% construction contingency: $142,477 Total project budget: $1,566,954 Final contract amount: ($1,411,768) Total project budget under-run/savings: $155,186 What construction contingency allowance is assigned to HSSA Chalet? In the case of HSSA Chalet, a 10% construction contingency was included in overall project budget estimates during the early design phases, as per standard practice. This was later reduced to a 5% construction contingency as a budget reduction strategy. The Board has discretion to increase or decrease this contingency allowance as it truly is a risk management tool to financially prepare the Park District for unpredictable changes during construction.

Why did the contingency increase between original estimate and current? Item Original Estimate Total with current bids Chalet 9.5 10.8 Parking & Site Work 2.1 1.9 Fees 1.3 1.4 Utilities, FFE 0.75 0.75 Const. Contingency 0.5 0.65 Totals 14.15 15.5 The math for calculating the construction contingency for the above presentation slide is as follows: Original estimate: Our target budget was 14.15. The fixed costs were the 9.5+2.1+1.3+0.75 resulting in a budget constraint of 0.5 for contingency. Total with current bids: (10.8+1.9) x 5% = 0.635 (rounded to 0.65) contingency allowance. Staff recommends a minimum of 5% construction contingency allowance.

Reference 6E-1 2014 Legislative Work Program The Park District s legislative program is an important means of securing funding, monitoring legislation that could affect the Park District, and building relationships with the Park District s Legislative Delegation. Implementation of this program requires coordinated involvement from the Park District Board of Commissioners, the Superintendent, Senior Management, and the Park District Legislative Consultant, as well as the entire Park District staff. Legislative Program Each year the Park District Board of Commissioners considers and adopts a legislative program as recommended by the Superintendent. This program identifies broad legislative issues that are to be monitored during the upcoming session in an effort to maintain the operation of the Park District. These could include funding, enabling legislation, natural resource, and human resource issues. By identifying broad issues and overall desired outcomes, this program is flexible and allows for immediate and appropriate response, if changes are required. The following represents the Park District s legislative agenda for the 2014 Minnesota Legislative Session. This legislative program is organized into Part A and Part B with objectives delineated in each division. The Board may adopt the following positions on legislative items. Strongly Support: The Board desires to take an affirmative and proactive approach to advocating for the Park District s interest on the issue. Possible actions could include: preparing bills and seeking authors, seeking additional authors for proposed legislation, preparing and distributing position papers to legislators, intentional and coordinated program of legislative contact related to the issue, and/or testifying at hearings related to the issue. Support: The Board desires to acknowledge Three Rivers Park District public support for the issue through the transmittal and communication of the Legislative Program document and in general discussions with legislative contacts. Monitor: The Board desires to stay abreast of actions related to the issue that may affect the Park District and will communicate its interest within the Legislative Program document. The Park District s legislative consultant and staff will apprise the Board of actual legislative activity that may affect the Park District related to the issue and seek additional Board direction, including a change in program status if necessary.
