RESOLUTION NO. 2008-08 ACCEPTING BID AWARD AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR SALVAGE OF EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS AT EDA OWNED PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2500 COUNTY ROAD 10 (FORMER BROOKDALE FORD) Mr. Boganey introduced the item, discussed the history, and stated the purpose of the proposed resolution. 06/23/08 -1- DRAFT I Commissioner Lasman moved and Commissioner Ryan seconded adoption of RESOLUTION NO. 2008-08 Accepting Bid Award and Awarding Contract for Salvage of Equipment and Materials at EDA Owned Property Located at 2500 County Road 10 (Former Brookdale Ford). Commissioner Yelich requested clarification regarding the following statement included in the purchase agreement: "...and Seller shall be entitled to the amount to be paid to buyer under the highest bid for the salvage rights to the property." Mr. Boganey explained this m�imizes the benefit to the seller, which is the previous owner in this case. The seller's negotiation was to get the ma�cimum value he could from allowing the City to purchase the site. It was noted that the purchase agreement between the City and the original owner of this site included the requirement to go out for bid. The total bid amount of $2,800 is not a debt the City owes; it is what was bid for the property. The bidder will pay the EDA for the right to salvage the property; the EDA will provide the $2,800 to the previous owner in accordance with the purchase agreement. It was also noted that this was a public bidding process. City staff made every effort to solicit bids in addition to the publication, and actually sought bidders out. When the bids were received, a copy of the staff report was sent to the previous owner, who has not responded or expressed any concern. Motion passed unanimously. 5. ADJOURNMENT Commissioner Yelich moved and Commissioner Ryan seconded adjournment of the Economic Development Authority rneeting at 7:30 p.m. Motion passed unanimously. 06/23/08 -2- DR.AFT EDA Agenda Item No. 4a Council Item Memorandum T0: Curt Boganey, City Manager THROUGH: Gary Eitel, Community Development Director FROM: Tom Bublitz, Community Development Specialist DATE: July 8, 2008 SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for Demolition of EDA Owned Property Located at 2500 County Road 10 (Former Brookdale Ford Site) Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the Resolution Accepting Bid and Awarding Contract for Demolition of EDA Owned Property Located at 2500 County Road 10(Form�r Brookdale Ford Site). Background: Bids were opened on July 2, 2008, pursuant to an advertisement for bids, for demolition of the former Brookdale Ford property located at 2500 County Road 10 (the site). In response to the advertisement for bids, twelve (12) contractors attended a mandatory pre-bid meeting at the site on June 26, 2008. Bids were received from nine (9) of the contractors attending the mandatory pre-bid meeting. Lloyd's Construction Services, Inc. of Savage, Minnesota submitted a low bid of $24,495. StafF believes this is a very good bid for the amount of work to be performed under this contract. Lloyd's Construction Services, Inc. is a well established contractor in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. Based on qualifications submitted with the bid, Lloyd's Construction Services, Inc. has experienced staff and the proper equipment to perform the demolition. The demolition specifications requires removal of the structures of the two buildings (main building and body shop) to the building slab, removal of all signs and sign posts and the chain link fences adjacent to the buildings. The attached document titled Utility Locations and Demolition Plan" provides a visual summary of the proposed demolition. The parking lot area and the building slabs and foundations will remain intact so that a non-permeable surface will remain on the site. The reason for maintaining this cover is due to the sub- surface contamination present on the site and defined by the Phase II investigation done on the site prior to acquisition by the Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority (EDA). Based on cost estimates provided by Liesch Associates, Inc. the company that did the Phase II investigation on the site, sub-surface environmental remediation on the site is estimated to be from $180,000 to $200,000. It is the staff opinion that the most I advantageous time to begin the sub-surface remediation of the site is when there is a specific development proposal for the site. All asbestos containing materials (ACM), hazardous and regulated materials, including fluorescent lights, light ballasts, mercury switches, freon, etc. have been removed from the buildings. Water and Sewer lines servicing the site have been properly disconnected and gas and electric services have also been disconnected. Additionally, removal of the hydraulic fluid from the in- ground hoists and removal of waste oil and sludge from the flammable waste traps in both buildings will be accomplished before demolition to assure demolition debris does not enter the hoist pits and waste traps and create problems for removal of the hydraulic fluid and material in the flammable waste traps. The salvage of equipment and materials from the site, pursuant to the requirements of the purchase agreement between 1277 LLC and the EDA, is scheduled for completion prior to demolition and includes removal of the exterior lights and light poles. The scheduled completion date for the demolition is on or before August 15, 2008. Budget Issues: The demolition cost of the former Days Inn Hotel property will be paid from proceeds from Tax Increment Financing District 3. i i oaem� Pwomr CONTRACTIXt SHIJl V6UFY AND LOCAIE ��y LOCATIONS AND DEMOLI110N PLAN /Jl UN06tGRWND UTUTY IOCAl10N5. 92E5 AND ELEVATONS PftIOR TO pp d consrnucnar� r�ni n+e ne�cn� 2.n/v ��M �Nl� �F�R onwnvA� F� 1 G� COMPANIES.

I -z EDA Agenda Item No. 4b EDA ITEM MEMORANDUM TO: Curt Boganey, City Manager From: Gary Eitel, Community Development Director I'S,,�' Date: July 14, 2008 Subject: Design approval for #he Pedestrian Corridor Link connecting the Embassy Suites Hotel to the Earle Brown Heritage Center. Recommendation: Motion to approve the design of a glassed wall pedestrian corridor connecting the Embassy Suites Hotel to the Earle Brown Heritage Center and authorize the necessary changes to the Pedestrian Link Corridor Exhibits A& B and Easement. Back�round Information: The development agreement with Brooklyn Hotel Partners, LLC (developer's of the Embassy Suites) states: "The exterior and interior design of the Connection shall be subject to the Authority's approval, which approval may be granted or withheld in the Authority's sole and absolute discretion." This agreement further states: "The connection shall be enclosed, heated, air conditioned and have magnetic security doors at the common property line between the Earle Brown Heritage Center and the Development Property. The Authority shall control the hours the security doors are open and closed." The First Amendment to the Development Agreement included Exhibit L"Parking, Access and Pedestrian Link Easement Agreement expanded upon the definition of the Connection by defining Pedestrian Link: The "Pedestrian Link" shall mean the enclosed one-story, ground level, dimate controlled structure to be installed and constructed by Developer on the HRA Tract and the Developer Tract in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of the Development Agreement providing a pedestrian access corridor between the Conference Facility and the Hotel Facility (such Pedestrian link being referred to as the "Connection" in the Development Agreement). This amendment also included exhibits, which referenced the following: Exhibit A- Site Plan, illustrated a proposed location of the Pedestrian Link Corridor Area, shared driveway access areas, and shared parking areas. Exhibit B— provided a legal description for the Pedestrian Link Corridor Area, as conceptual illustrated on the site plan. Exhibits C provided legal descriptions of the shared driveway areas as illustrated on the approved site plan. Exhibit D provided a legal description for a non-exclusive easement for 45 parking stalls. A copy of the site plan, Exhibit A, has been included for your reference. Desi�n Concepts for the Pedestrian Link ,/Connection The first design concept provided by the developer's architect provided for a rural look of a barn shed extension to the G-Building and involved the use of the eastern third of the D-Barn as an interior connecting link to the hotel. This design provided for the relocation of the service drive adjacent to the G-Building and modifications to the parking lot and existing landscaped areas. Staff's review of this design concept indicated the following: The appearance of a modern style connecting corridor, similar to that used at the Hippodrome was preferred. Concerns that the natural lighting into the G-Building would be reduced and other potential distractions would negatively impact upon the use of this conference facility The existing single lane service driveway could be eliminated since it was not required to serve as a fire lane and was used primarily for short term parking by the existing tenant in the D-Barn. The width of the corridor was recommended to be expanded from 8' to 12'. A copy of this initial design concept has also been included for your reference. On May 29th, a site meeting was held with the Developer, his architect, and staff to discuss options and directions to the devel.oper. The attached site plan and sketches are a result of the input of this meeting and subsequent discussions on design concepts to enhance the connection of the hotel to the Earle Brown Heritage Center conference facilities. Site Plan The plan illustrates the connection from a corridor adjacent to the hotel's meeting rooms to the northeast corner of the D-Barn. Note: the developer has stressed that this type of a connection and entry into the Salon is critical in their marketing and operations of this facility as an amenity to their hoteL The extension of this free standing corridor to the G-Building entrance includes the following features: A pass thru connection to allow a service conriection to the both buildings and access to the interior court yard. An interior court area that could be landscaped and decorated in an Earle Brown Farm theme. A rotunda entrance similar to the entrance at the hippodrome. Note: There are design details relating to �he site grades, possible realignment of sidewalks and adjustments to the parking lot that will be refined with the preparation of construction drawings and specifications. At that time, final adjustments to the agreement exhibits and easements could be made. s EXIT MAY NEED TO MOVE SO CIVIL MECIiANICAE ELECTRICAL TO BE SOUTH EIEVATION DUE TO DE51GN 81D I BUILD r 1 GENERATOR SIZE (71) ARGHITECTURAL STRUCTURAL TO 9 CURB�DDITION�� CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS PRODUCE CONSTRUCTION DOCUMEMTS r N NOTE EXISTING SITE UTILITIES s h\ dR.
