Public Works Superintendent Riemer replied that he has not yet spoken with Andover but <br />advised that he has toured the Elk River facility multiple times. <br />Councilmember Musgrove stated that she liked that everyone from the team was heavily <br />involved in the presentation, which shows they are used to working as a team. She referenced <br />the timeline, noting that the larger planning time on the frontend will help to provide a more <br />efficient construction process. <br />Acting Mayor Riley asked if the firm hired as construction manager would then be precluded <br />from building the project. He asked if RJM is also a builder. He asked if something is lost in not <br />letting the construction manager actually build the project as well. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer confirmed that the construction manager would not bid to <br />complete the construction internally and would not be building any project elements themselves. <br />He stated that allowing someone to manage and build a project would be double dipping. <br />Councilmember Menth asked for input on the Elk River facility. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer provided details, noting that he would love to have that <br />facility. <br />Councilmember Kuzma stated that he thought Kraus Anderson had the strongest/smoothest <br />presentation and he liked that Bradbury Stamm had additional connections in the central <br />Minnesota area. He noted that if staff is comfortable with RJM, he would also support that <br />recommendation. <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer stated that RJM has followed up with him on multiple <br />occasions related to the schedule. He stated that there are parts of the process that could be <br />shortened. <br />Acting Mayor Riley stated that each of the presenters would provide a quality project and noted <br />that the costs were pretty similar. He supported the recommendation of staff and confirmed the <br />consensus of the Council to direct staff to continue with RJM. <br />3.
