Additional Information <br />SERVE THE <br />COMMUNITY <br />We also recommend considering the renovation of the existing cold storage <br />building takes place in the summer of 2o2o. <br />The plan would be for the northern half of the site with drive lane, storage bins, and <br />salt storage be complete by fall of 2020, which would provide a fully -functioning <br />temporary facility for the city's use, while completing the new fleet maintenance <br />and storage facility. The new fuel island will not be operational until the new fleet <br />maintenance building is complete, due to the tank monitor and software system <br />required to run the fuel system housed in the new building. We recommend that the <br />city continues to utilize its existing fuel supply system until the project is complete. <br />We understand the city may need to hold off on starting the construction of the <br />project until the spring of 2021. However, we wanted to show the city a path to start <br />the project sooner, if the city wishes to do so. <br />Please see attached proposed preliminary phasing plan, which is our initial <br />assumption of the most efficient way to schedule the project. However, we <br />would like the city and design team's input before proceeding with this plan. <br />Key components to consider: <br />Relocation and access point of the salt storage facility. <br />Currently the feasibility study options A and C appear to have the opening facing <br />west; we do not recommend this. Depending on the manufacturer, the fabric <br />component of the structure is not always reusable. (CoverAll buildings went <br />out of business due to multiple structural failures throughout the country, and <br />therefore, their structures cannot always be completely reused in their entirety). <br />The T structure components can be reused, but will require updated engineering <br />and new fabric. <br />Storm water management plan. <br />With the intention to reuse/redesign the existing pond, we recommend that the <br />storm water management plan is considered as early as possible. The condition <br />of the existing pond will need to be evaluated for depth, age, and contamination <br />to ensure it meets the requirements to fulfill the intended purpose of the new <br />development. This type of evaluation is often overlooked initially during the <br />design phase, and can significantly impact the duration of the project if not <br />addressed early on. <br />Facility layout. <br />One of the most important things to consider when planning a new facility is the <br />layout of the campus and layout of the individual buildings and spaces. We have <br />received years of feedback regarding what works well in their facilities and what <br />they might do differently a second time around. We are an engaged partner and <br />will offer our experiences to help the city and design team find the best solution <br />for the City of Ramsey. We will work with the team to determine the best value <br />as it relates to reusing existing equipment such as lifts or purchasing new. <br />With RJM the City of Ramsey can count on an engaged, knowledgeable <br />partner to help you construct the new public works facility. We look forward <br />to working with your community. <br />CONSTRUCTION <br />City of Ramsey 27 <br />
