Ice Skating Center Renovation Options City Manager’s Office 2/14/2011
City Manager’s Recommendation Recommend the City Council provide direction on the option that the City will pursue. One idea would be to bid the basic option and have the other two
options as alternates. The downside to this approach is that you may add $80,000 to $160,000 to the price. The City Manager intends to create a user advisory group to focus on the
design of the renovations once action is taken. The City Manager intends to have construction in 2012 to minimize interruptions. This may lead to some maintenance costs in the interim,
but I believe would be lower costs then spreading the construction over 2 years.
Ice Arena Renovation Options Basic Option ($1,000,000 to $1,300,000) Mechanical and structural improvements including repair or replacement of the following components: Ice making
system, roof, fire suppression system, lights over ice surface, boiler, dehumidification system, south block wall, and fire doors.
Ice Arena Renovation Options Intermediate Option ($1,305,000 to $1,715,000) Basic option Building expansion to relocate mechanical room and zamboni area; create additional locker
room space including restroom/shower facilities.
Ice Arena Renovation Options Long Term Option ($2,365,000 to $3,035,000) Basic and Intermediate options Expanded seating, parking capacity, restroom facilities, and program and
storage space .
