Of Public Works <br />From: James B. Lasher <br />Planning Project: Ramsey Municipal Parking Facility Skyway Addition <br />Architecture Subject: Scope of Work and Fee Proposal for: <br />Urban Design Guardrail Enhancements at the Parking Deck <br />Date: August 26, 2011 <br />On August 25, 2011 we toured the Ramsey Municipal Parking Facility to review <br />enhancements that the City would like to make to selected areas of the deck. There are <br />basically three areas of work: <br />• Enclose all openings along the exterior openings on floors 2 and 3 and raise <br />guardrail height on top floor at selected areas <br />• Enclose openings between floors at sloped ramp on all floors <br />• Provide sun screen protection on east side of parking deck at middle bay. <br />Based on our initial review of this work, we estimate that this Change Order will be <br />between $100,000 and $200,000 depending on the level of improvement and design <br />solutions. <br />The following is a series of Options on how to approach this issue and the fee's required <br />for each. <br />Option 1 — All Enhancements: <br />1. LSA will prepare two concepts to provide full enclosure at ALL openings within <br />the parking deck on floors two and three, including sun screen areas at center - <br />bay. <br />2. LSA will prepare two concepts to provide ornamental fencing on the top floor of <br />the deck at areas identified around the corners of the structure. <br />3. LSA will prepare two concepts to enclose or limit access to the openings <br />between floors along the center bays of the deck. <br />4. LSA will present concepts to city staff and work towards an agreeable Preferred <br />Alternative. <br />5. LSA will prepare sufficient details drawings to describe the work and submit as a <br />Request for Proposals to Knutson Construction for pricing. <br />6. LSA will review the quoted price with city staff and, if acceptable, prepare a <br />Change Order for the work. <br />7. LSA will submit the Change Order to the City and MnDOT for review and <br />approval. LSA will attend one City Council meeting to present the Change Order <br />for consideration. <br />8. LSA will review shop drawings and observe the work as part of the CA phase of <br />the Parking Deck project. <br />
