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.
