Recent Favorable Developments <br />For the past couple of years, the Park & Recreation and staff have been working on concepts to expand recreational opportunities in the community and in particular, at The <br />Waterfront —this includes working with staff's counterparts at the Minnesota DNR to develop a sustaining fishery. Related to this, this Summer the city received a $46k grant from <br />the DNR for natural resource enhancements for plantings next Spring around the shore of the 7.4 acre deep -water pond. And on Friday October 10th, 2,178 Yellow Perch were <br />released into the pond to provide the forage basis for game fish that will be introduced in 2026. <br />Additionally, staff has a handshake agreement with DNR to receive a sizable fishing pier for The Waterfront also for this coming year. City Council will have the opportunity to <br />authorize entering into a Cooperative Agreement to receive the fishing pier (valued at more than $50k) at the October 28th regular meeting —this would include developing an ADA <br />compliant path down the bank of the pond to access the pier, and to create several stone shore fishing nodes around the pond. More information will be available for the meeting. <br />Funding Sources <br />The Construction Management Services that this case discusses, would be funded by the Park Trust Fund. <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends entering into a contractual agreement with H +U Consuuction for construction management services for The Waterfront waterplay park improvement project, in the form of a <br />Construction Manager at Risk agreement. <br />Outcome/Action: <br />Motion to recommend to City Council, approval of a contract with H + U Construction for construction management services for The Waterfront waterplay park improvement project. <br />Attachments <br />RFP for CMAR <br />H 8c U Construction proposal <br />A133 Doc example <br />GMP amendment sample <br />Progress report <br />location of fishing pier <br />For.
