Home My WebLink About7B - Dance Studio and Library STAFF AGENDA REPORT AGENDA NUMBER: PREPARED BY: 7B PAUL HOKENESS, PARKS & RECREATION DIRECTOR CONSIDER APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 97-XX AUTHORIZING AN ARCHITECTURAL FIRM FOR THE LIBRARYIDANCE STUDIO OCTOBER 20, 1997 SUBJECT: DATE: INTRODUCTION: At the April 7, 1997 meeting the City Council authorized staff to prepare a Request for Qualifications and proceed with the selection of an architectural firm for the Library/Dance Studio. At this same meeting the City Council also appointed a Library/Dance Studio Building Committee (the committee). The committee would conduct the selection process and make a final recommendation to the City Council. The selection of an architectural firm is considered a "Professional Service" under the Uniform Municipal Contracting Law. This means that criteria other than, and in addition to cost, may be used in selecting the desired firm. The purpose of this agenda report is for the Council to consider the recommendation of the committee for Architectural services for the Library/Dance Studio. BACKGROUND: On July 17, 1997 Request for Qualifications were sent to twenty-seven firms with a due date of August 13, 1997 (attached). Twelve firms responded to the R.F.Q.'s and their proposals were received and distributed to the committee, along with evaluation forms (attached). On August 14, 1997 the committee met and compared scores (scoring grid attached). Based upon the scoring, it was determined that five firms would be invited to give presentations to the committee. On Thursday September 4, 1997 the following firms gave their presentations: . MEYER, SCHERER & ROCKCASTLE, LTD. . HAMEL, GREEN, & ASSOCIATES . LEONARD PARKER & ASSOCIATES 16268~~P&k Ave. S.E., Prior Lake, Minnesota 55372-1714 / Ph. (612) 447-4230 / Fax (612) 447-4245 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER · BOARMAN, KROOS, PFISTER, VOGEL & ASSOCIA TES · BUETOW & ASSOCIATES Following the presentations the committee narrowed the field to two firms for a final interview. The two firms selected for the final interview were Leonard Parker & Associates and Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, Ltd. The committee determined that these two firms had the most library experience and the highest qualifications. A representative of one of the firms which was not selected for a final interview said, "You've selected two of the best library firms in the business." These two firms were interviewed on Thursday, October 9th. After much deliberation the committee came to the conclusion that the Architectural firm that would best meet the City's needs and work well together with our team is Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, Ltd..(MSR). DISCUSSION: MSR recently completed the new City of Savage Library. The staff at Savage and the County Library Administrator were thoroughly impressed with MSR and are very pleased with their new building. In the final interview MSR expressed a passion for their work on libraries and the committee felt that this love and commitment for building libraries will assure us that we will have a library that our community will be proud of. MSR also seemed very committed to making sure that this new library fit into the scheme of things when we discuss the redevelopment of downtown. If Council members have the opportunity it would be worth your while to visit the new Savage Library, which is located next to the. Savage City Hall on County Rd. 16. This would provide you with a good representation of MSR's capabilities. Obviously the design of the Prior Lake Library will be quite different from that of the Savage Library but the interior spaces, quality of work and certain design features will give you an idea of MSR's commitment to excellence. Representatives of the selection committee will be present at the City Council meeting to present their recomh1endation and respond to City Council questions. AGLIBARC.DOC FISCAL IMPACT: ALTERNA TIVES: RECOMMENDA TION: AGLIBARC.DOC There are sufficient funds included within the 2.5 million dollar Library/Dance Studio project costs for this professional service. The following are the original fee schedules which were submitted with the proposals: HAMEL, GREEN, AND ABRAHAMSON, INC. $242,000.00 MEYER, SCHERER & ROCKCASTLE, LTD. $221,000.00 (negotiated $216,500.00) LEONARD PARKER & ASSOCIATES $217,500.00 BOARMAN, KROOS, PFISTER, VOGEL & ASSOCIA TES $194,000.00 BUETOW & ASSOCIATES. $169,000.00 A Qualifications Based Selection (Q.B.S.) process was used in determining the Architectural firm that would best suit the needs of the City. A Q.B.S. is a process that allows you to select a firm based upon the capabilities of the firm, their project staff, similar projects, presentation, project approach, proposed fees, and references. On the basis of this analysis, the Committee concluded that Meyer, Scherer and Rockcastle, Ltd. was the best qualified firm to fulfill our needs. On Friday, October 10th Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle was contacted and asked if they would be willing to undertake the project for a fee less than the fee which Leonard Parker & Associates proposed. They were excited about this opportunity to work on this project and agreed to provide their services for a fee of $216,500.00. The alternatives are as follows: 1. Accept the recommendation of the Prior Lake Library and Dance Studio Building Committee and approve Resolution 97-XX which authorizes the City to enter into a contract with Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, Ltd.. 2. Deny this item for a specific reason. 3. Table this item for a specific reason. Staff recommends Alternative No.1. ACTION REQUIRED: Motion and second to approve Resolution 97-XX which authorizes the City to enter into a contract with Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, Ltd. to provide architectural and engineering services to construct a new Library and Dance Studio at a fee of $216,500.00.

Prior Lake, MN 55372 >> >> >> >> . . August 13,1997 Dear Mr. Hokeness and Committee Members: We are pleased to submit our professional design qualifica- tions your new library and community space/dance studio facility. Barry Petit and Sean Wagner, from our office, toured the site with Mr. Hokeness and returned extremely excited about the library and enormous opportunity for substantially reshaping the Prior Lake downtown area. We would like to call your attention to our distinct strengths: Library Design Expertise-MS&R has provided feasibility studies and architectural and interior design services for more than 35 community libraries across the country. The balance between function, technology and human needs is at the heart of all our library designs. Based on our experience with over three million square feet of libraries, we understand the evolving roles of libraries as learning centers and librarians as "knowledge navigators" through an ever-changing array of media and devices. Your library presents many interesting challenges. We understand how critical the traditional role of the library is, namely, a place of historic continuity and community pride. Interactive Design Process-We believe good design results from choosing talented architects, but great design results from community input. We view citizen interaction as essential to the success of your library. We know that during the course of public dialogue ideas will surface that will profoundly impact your project. Reliable Cost Estimating and Control-With approximately $90 million in construction each year, MS&R has had only one publicly bid project exceed the project budget and that project was successfully rebid at no additional cost to the owner. We trust the enclosed materials will convey both our abilities and our interest in libraries, for they are, in many ways, our favorite type of building. Yours sincerely, a!l:rJu:f~ City of Prior Lake Public Ubrary-l ,'~ MS&R t. FIRM IDENTITY & STRUCTURE MS&R Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, Ltd.

"-Alan Reed, OSB, St. John's University City of Prior Lake Public Library-l MS&R 2. KEY PERSONNEL Hedberg Public Library Stillwater Public Library "There's no debate that MS&R is hot. What makes such a firm go so far so fast? A fresh approach to design, a drive for success, an unusual ability to articulate architectural ideas, friends in the right places, a willingness to take risks? Probably all play their part. In addition, an architectural firm must have depth-people who can monitor projects and bring them in on time and on budget. Brilliance must be merged with dogged management. " -Linda Mack, Editor, Architecture Minnesota,JanuarylFebruary 1986 MS&R The firm employs 35 staff, including 26 architects and 4 interior designers.

The design responded to this idyllic backdrop with a furnished 'reading porch' flanking the north and west elevations. The two porch wings are anchored by a stone fireplace gifted by one of the library patrons.

MS&R Fairfield Public Library Kirkendall Public Library Fairfield Public Library-1996. Replacing the oldest Carnegie library West of the Mississippi, the new Fairfield Public Library will continue to be an important part of the community's rich library tradition. Deep overhangs, earth- tone brick work, and decorative stone columns and trim provide scale in keeping with the building's residential neigh- bors while the curved entry portico and monumental eastern window provide a more public scale in keeping with the building's place in the community. In the early phases of design, several community meetings were held to allow neighbors and concerned citizens the opportunity to offer comments and suggestions. The result is a library building in which the entire community takes pride.

Historic brickwork and a modernization of early Prairie style elements create a comfortable, contextual new library for the second oldest town in Minnesota. The meeting room and outdoor class- room combine with the reading rooms to form a multifunc- tional center for citizens of all ages. A domed, elliptical rotunda makes the entry bright, spacious and airy. The main circulation axis terminates at the reading room with a pictur- esque view of restored prairie grasslands. Durable materials such as copper, brick, terrazzo, and wood are practical, yet elegant.

The Merriam Park Branch Library replaced a much loved historic 70-year-old library. The design process included many community meet- ings in which design alternatives were reviewed and critiqued by the committee of some thirty people. From this community participation process, a design strategy emerged which in- cluded: a) respecting the historical character of the existing library, b) providing a library which had a traditional ambi- ance, c) encouraging the use of traditional building materials which could be timeless, and d) providing a modern and efficient library.
