I I I I I I I I I I I I I 1 I I I I I STATUS OF RINK REPLACEMENTS AT RAMSEY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor CASE # Notification: Dick Nybeck, iDirector of Sites & Grounds for Anoka Hennepin School District #11, as well as the Pa~k and Recreation Commission is receiving a copy of this case. Background: Earlier this y,~ar, the District notified the City that both hockey rinks at the Ramsey Elementary So~hool would be demolished. This was due to the storm water conduit that was to be routed underneath both the rinks, and a reduction in surface elevation at the rink site. The distiSct committed to replacement of one of the rinks, the City, tentatively, the other. As yo6 will recall, the Park Commission's 1996 CIP requested $10,000 in park improvement I~'ust fund interest earnings be allocated toward the replacement of one rink. It is intended Ithat the rinks be constructed this fall for the winter skating season with reimbursemen~ for construction of one rink in 1996. The City reqtlested bids for the construction of the two hockey rinks with materials included. Two responses were received; one for approximately $47,000 and the other for approximatel~$32,000. Both bids were considerably higher than the estimate of $20,000 and the Schoo! Dislxict requested additional proposals. By reducing some of the frills on the rink constr~ction (e.g. swinging drive gates and fancy metal end posts) the District was able to reduce the low bidders cost further. The actual cost will be less than $25,749. The City's cost will not exceed $10,000. The School DiSlrict will be managing most aspects of the construction. The City will assist with locating t[~e rinks on the site and will paint the interior of the rinks in 1996. ObservationS: At the same time the above was being worked out, the City and the Dislrict recognized the importance of ~orrnalizing the construction and the maintenance agreement. A joint powers agreement is ~ttached for your approval. It deals only with the skating facilities at the school. It is i expected a similar agreement will be drafted later in 1996 for the two remaining softball fields.
