FOR DISCUSSION
2. Amend the 2019 HRA Parking Enterprise fund budget for RiverCentre consulting services, District 17, Ward 2
Laid over from the February 13, 2019 HRA Board meeting
Dr. Bruce Corrie, HRA Executive Director, shared that meetings have taken place regarding the development of and future concepts of the RiverCentre ramp and an agreement was reached to move towards an RFP to gauge development interests and concepts of the site. In order to do that, technical consultant work needs to be performed and this amendment makes a case for a budget of $400,000. The breakdown includes; $75,000 for a technical advisor, Walker Consultants, to evaluate technical details of proposals. $100,000 for an independent structural analysis of the ramp, $125,000 for preliminary and updated design work and $100,000 for a reserve fund in the event the above budget areas have cost overruns or new tasks that need to be accomplished.
Commissioner Noecker asked for more information on the $125,000 for design work. Martin Schieckel, PED Economic Development Director, stated that the $125,000 is to re-engage a design team for design of a new ramp. This will allow us to review the pros and cons of refurbishing or replacing the ramp and will help us make the best choice going forward.
Commissioners Noecker and Prince requested that we follow up with our partners. Dr. Corrie said that PED will connect with our partners today.
Chair Tolbert removed the $100,000 reserve fund amending the budget to $300,000.
Moved by Commissioner Noecker, Resolution Adopted as Amended and set forth in RES 19-16
