Subject:
Award of Construction Manager as Agent to Loeffler Construction and Consulting for renovation and restoration of the Schroeder House and Livery.
Policy/Action Requested:
Award Construction Manager as Agent to Loeffler Construction and authorize the appropriate staff to execute agreement.
Recommendation:
Approve contract with Loeffler.
Discussion:

Loeffler is currently working on the Windermere Park.  They have come highly recommended by other cities and we have had a good working relationship on Windermere.

 

Loeffler has experience completing historic renovations including the James J. Hill House, former home of the St. Paul railway titan, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and now owned by the Minnesota Historical Society.  Loeffler was responsible for updated its systems. Loeffler also has extensive experience in renovating and reusing buildings.  Its largest project has been the transformation of International Market Square, a 1905 structure originally built for Northwestern Knitting. The building is now used as the International Market Square for Design and was upgraded by Loeffler including new restrooms, floors and exterior improvements.

 

Loeffler will work with the design team and provide estimates throughout the process.  They will bid the project for the city and bring the bids back to the city council for approval.  They will act as the city's agent on site and will serve as the project manager, overseeing all of the construction.

 

Loeffler has agreed to hold their fees as was proposed in 2022.

Budget Impact:
Budgeted in the Park Development Fund.
