Action Requested
Approve,by motion, entering into a contract with RJM Construction for Construction Management
Services on the Ice Arena and Lion John Weicht Park Improvement project.
Background/Discussion
With direction from Council, staff prepared and advertised a request seeking proposals for construction
management services. Seven proposals were submitted and reviewed by the Ice Arena Committee. The
proposals were reviewed against the scoring criteria laid out in the RFP. From this scoring, staff
members of the committee interviewed the top three ranked firms. These firms included RJM
Construction,Kraus-Anderson, and Terra General Contractors.
Upon review of the proposals and completion of the interviews, the Committee recommends the Council
approve entering into a contract with RJM Construction. Their proposal is attached. RJM brings the
most experienced team to our project along with some unique ides to consider during the schematic
design phase. There proposed fee was also the most competitive of all proposals received. We further
recommend following the proposed model of hiring RJM Construction as a Construction Manager at
Risk as detailed in the proposal.
If approved,we will work with our legal counsel to draft the contract with RJM Construction.
Financial Impact
The proposed fee for this service contract is $735,752. This amount has been planned for and included
in the overall project budget which remains estimated in the $20M to $25M range. Part of brining the
construction manager on board at this time is to assist in refining the project estimates and determining
where project costs can be minimized as we move into final design.

Brian,
Here are a few words…
To Whom it May Concern,
RJM was the Construction Manager on the City of Shakopee’s Community Center renovation and Ice Arena Construction
project. I have worked closely with Mike Seigley and Tara Blotske over the past 18 months. It has been a great
experience.
Tara was an advocate for the City throughout the entire project. She had the hard conversations with the trades and
stood up for the City when questions needed to be asked. She managed the budget very closely and communicated any
changes immediately. Mike is a great superintendent and kept all the different trades on task and on time. He was
reliable and made sure the finished project was what the city expected. He managed a very difficult phased project with
the ability to see the small items before they became a problem.
RJM managed the project with the City’s expectations and best interests always at the forefront. It was a pleasure
working with RJM and I would recommend them to other organizations completing a Community Center or Ice Arena
project.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Why RJM Construction?
RJM considers ourselves an extension of the City of Elk River staff. We understand
the project needs from both a function and an aesthetic perspective. Through this
leveled approach, RJM will foster a spirit of collaboration with the project team in
meeting schedule and budget needs, while creating a facility that will serve the
community for years to come.
RJM brings leadership and provides value-based solutions whenever needed.
Our experienced staff anticipates what lies ahead and strives to protect your
interests. Our team keeps the project moving forward and true to your vision.
Project Understanding
With RJM’s significant history of preconstruction work on the Elk River Ice Arena
and Lion John Weicht Park Facilities we know how to make your vision a reality.
Since 2007, RJM has assisted 292 Design Group and JLG Architects with cost
estimating, scheduling, construction sequencing and value engineering. Through
these partners we have provided the City of Elk River our expertise in the decision
to renovate, build new, or relocate sites. The current plan incorporates and
balances the best ideas presented during this preconstruction phase and we are
excited to be your project partner.
With the addition of the Lion John Weicht Park Facilities, the City of Elk River can
further count on RJM’s experience and smooth project execution. We have worked
with several municipalities on both sports fields and park pavilion facilities.
We know that maintaining operations during construction—including access
to all facilities—holds equal importance to successful project completion. Our
understanding of the project phasing, including the shared parking lot and school
land deed process, will be paramount in developing a comprehensive project
schedule.
Ice Arena Experience
RJM has extensive experience working on ice arena projects, and we know how to
skillfully lead the team. Ice arenas are specialized facilities that must withstand
extreme climate fluctuations. In Minnesota, this is especially important during
the summer months. We understand the key components that require careful
consideration in the design and construction of the building envelope including:
• Proper roofing material and insulation to limit condensation
• Under-slab vapor barrier selection and placement to avoid concrete curling
• Dehumidification manufacturers and system balancing to maximize efficiency
and performance
Of equal importance is the performance of the ice plant and playing surface to
make for an enjoyable and competition-level experience for both athletes and
spectators. RJM has also completed many system replacements and refrigeration
updates.

As with the building envelope, there are many key elements that require
specialized expertise:
• Planning the sequencing of refrigeration system installation to ensure
continuous use during switchover
• Analyzing the use of waste-heat by utilizing for snow-melt and other
potential efficiencies
• Selection and placement of rink lighting to ensure competition-level quality
and enjoyment for spectators
A large-capacity rink such as the City of Elk River’s proposed facility will require
careful planning when selecting and designing the mechanical equipment. As we
did with the Shakopee Ice Arena project, RJM will work closely with 292 Design
Group engineers to ensure the highest quality design. Additionally, RJM will
proactively manage the installation and balancing of these systems to provide the
highest level of energy efficiency.
Construction Manager Experience and Council Liaison
RJM will bring its construction management expertise to the City of Elk River.
Since 2007 we have worked with over 19 municipalities on CMa and CMar
projects, with many hiring RJM on a repeat basis. When you engage our services
we view our relationship as a partnership, working closely alongside City staff.
Your RJM construction manager will act as an extension of your team.
To achieve your project goals and successful outcomes we work as your advocate
during design, approvals, construction and post-construction. Our team will guide
City staff through the City Council process, including the scheduling of Council
actions. We will develop supporting documentation and provide expertise at
Council workshops, study sessions and official Council meetings. RJM understands
what level of information is desired by Council and will stand by your side to
present it. This approach keeps the Council informed and ensures timely project
delivery.
What makes RJM unique in the market is that we are builders that perform
construction management. Many firms offer construction management but do
not have the expertise to lead the design from a constructability standpoint. Our
team knows how to build, and we will use that knowledge to ensure the Elk River
Ice Arena and Lion John Weicht Park Facilties project is constructed to the highest
quality level possible.
Another aspect that makes RJM different is that while some construction
managers attempt to enhance their fees by performing trade work on the project,
we believe this creates a conflict of interest. We are your advocate and for this
reason, we choose to not self-perform any of the bid packages.
Experience with 292 Design Group
RJM and 292 Design Group specialize in ice arena construction and our teams
have worked together on 13 ice arena projects, the most recent being Shakopee
Ice Arena. As demonstrated in our preliminary work on this project, we work
collaboratively as a team. Because there is no learning curve between RJM and
292 Design Group, you can count on a smooth project delivery.

Project Administration
Pre-Construction
Estimating Techniques
The Elk River ice Arena and Lion John Weicht Park Facilties project construction
budget is $20 million with a total project budget not to exceed $25 million.
Budget is a driving concern in ensuring the best possible value is achieved. As the
design progresses, we provide continual, real-time cost evaluations so that the
cost impact to design choices are immediate. Being proactive in this process saves
critical time and costs, helping the architect understand budget impacts before
designs are complete.
At the core of our pre-construction team is our staff of eight full-time estimators.
This team ensures estimates are accurately completed in a timely fashion without
the daily distractions of project management. Estimating is a continuous process
for RJM Construction—as early as possible we will quantify work items and apply
unit costs.
We start with an overall conceptual budget, followed by a schematic design
budget and a design development budget.
The RJM Difference
Our team also provides a final estimate at 95% completion of the design. The
intent of this final estimate is to confirm the 95% drawings and specifications
align with the budget and that we have 100% subcontractor support to prove it.
This final confirmation allows us to accurately track where the final bids will be
when received. Allowing one last opportunity to make slight adjustments to the
plans prior to bidding assures the project will be delivered on budget.

Value Engineering
In our role as Construction Manager, we know it is our job to provide as many
cost-saving ideas that are available for the team’s evaluation for implementation.
From our experience with ice arena facilities we understand where costs can be
reduced, without sacrificing the function of the building, or the vision and design
intent of the client and architect. Historically our value engineering process has
saved 9 - 13% in value between schematic design and construction document
completion.
For a large-scale project like the Elk River Ice Arena and Lion John Weicht Park
Facilities, our experience can help the City reach potential cost savings in the
range of $1.8 million to $2.6 million.
Constructability Reviews
At RJM we have a proactive mindset and we continuously seek ways to enhance
design to arrive at the most efficient and highest quality installation. At each
phase of design, RJM will engage our internal quality control team to review all
aspects of design and make suggestions to 292 Design Group for minor design
modifications. Offering these changes prior to bidding will facilitate more accurate
bids from the contractors, making for a smooth installation and ultimately, a higher
quality finished product.
Building Information Modeling (BIM)
RJM has the capability to develop three-dimensional models on projects
to simulate the real world building process. Our BIM Specialist, Jake Fisher,
collaborates with the entire project team, providing value in systems analysis
and constructability reviews, enabling the team to make more informed decisions
regarding the design, systems, efficiency and quality of a project.
RJM used BIM for the Elk River Public Works project when laying out the
equipment in the mechanics garage. We modeled the entire department and
virtually laid out all power runs. This allowed the deparment heads to make
adjustments prior to the commencement of work on-site.

RJM’s Director of MEP Design and Coordination, Jed Field, will analyze the
mechanical and electrical designs and act as a liaison between the design
team and the contractors. A licensed engineer, Jed fully understands detailed
mechanical and electrical scopes and can guide pre-fabrication and installation
plans, ultimately resulting in efficiencies and increased cost savings. He has
the ability to understand design intent and coordinate the prefabrication and
installation plans which will ultimately result in efficiencies and increased cost
savings.
Development of Bid Packages
RJM will work with City staff to place the bid advertisement in the City’s required
publications such as Elk River Star News and others including Minneapolis and
St. Paul Builders Exchange and The Dodge Report. In addition, RJM’s extensive
experience in the ice arena market gives us a diverse list of subcontracting
partners we can carefully analyze and tailor to meet the needs of the City of Elk
River.
We will reach out to qualified subcontractors by means of electronic notification,
as well as personal phone calls, to generate as much interest as possible,
increasing the number of received bids, and ensuring the lowest possible price on
bid day. RJM has also developed a bidding strategy that can allow for more local
contractor participation for smaller project work scopes through the City’s quote
process.
By breaking larger bid packages into smaller, more manageable ones we can often
generate more interest from local contractors who may not have the capabilities
to perform the entire large scope of work.
RJM will facilitate the bid receipt and conduct the public opening process.
Subsequently, RJM will conduct a thorough review of each bid for completeness,
clarify any potential discrepancies, and conduct a scope review with all apparent
low contractors. Recommendations are presented to the team along with a
comprehensive project budget. In addition, RJM assists in obtaining approvals from
regulatory agencies. After approval of the contractor awards, RJM will prepare and
process the appropriate contracts.
Scheduling
Scheduling begins at project definition and identifies design, client planning,
bidding and actual construction duration. RJM will support the project team with
a comprehensive schedule taking into account all critical milestones. This will be
a collaborative effort with the entire project team to ensure realistic expectations
are set within efficient work sequences. RJM’s scheduler will prepare and issue
master schedules, analysis and variance reports.
Our team has outlined multiple options for the proposed sequence of events
for the Elk River Ice Arena and Lion John Weicht Park Facilities project. This is
based upon a combination of preliminary project information coupled with similar
experience.

Part III: Key Qualifications & Approach
RJM will work with the team to develop a project schedule that limits disruption to
the school parking, ball fields, tennis courts and ice arena programming.
An accurate schedule begins with a strong understanding of the project goals.
Below we have identified some initial parameters and possible solutions for your
project:
1. Limit school disruption both with noise and parking lot usage until end of
2017-2018 school year.
• Off hours trucking
• Start heavy work after school year ends
2. Maintain one sheet of ice programming for duration of project (minimal
shutdowns).
• Modify design of future shared refrigeration room so that existing Olympic
plant can remain in use during construction
• Temporary entrance through either NE or SE corner while new lobby is
constructed
• Possible temporary solution needed for existing snow-melt
• Possible temporary team rooms and bathrooms depending on extent of
phasing
3. New softball field ready for play at start of 2019 season.
• Assuming sand and peat vs. turf, seeding complete in 2018
4. Extend use of tennis courts until end of 2017-2018 school year.
• Depending on phasing all or at least two can remain useable until school lets
out
5. Electrical utility relocation needed prior to new rink addition.
• Confirm with Energy provider timing of relocation
• Might make more sense to start Olympic renovations first while this work is
happening
Construction
Construction projects within occupied facilities provide challenges that require an
experienced construction manager. RJM specializes in the renovation of occupied
facilities. This experience will guide the project team through proactive solutions:
• Studies of existing conditions
• Schedule development and phasing
• Public egress
• Systems operation and shutdowns
• Communication with the public
22
Phasing Strategies
There are at least five potential phasing strategies for the City of Elk River to
consider, each with its own pros and cons. Below we have outlined some initial
ideas for consideration. We welcome the opportunity to discuss these and other
options in person.
Strategy 1
Start Olympic renovation and begin demolition of Barn in March 2018.
• New rink in September of 2018 season and full facility before end of 18/19
season.
Strategy 2
Start Olympic renovation in March 2018 and begin demolition of Barn in June
2018.
• New rink in September of 2018 season; full facility won’t be done until after
2018 season.
Strategy 3
Start Olympic renovation in March 2018 and begin demolition of Barn in October
2018
• New rink in September of 2018 and maintain Barn ice; long schedule = higher
cost.
Strategy 4
Demolish Barn in June 2018 and renovate Olympic starting in February 2019
• New ice early 2019. Maintain Olympic ice during construction. Full facility
done at end of 2018-2019 season.
Strategy 5
Demolish entire facility starting in March 2018 and build new.
• New rink in October/November 2018. All new facility. Fast schedule with
efficient design. However, no ice until first sheet is available.
As an example, a phasing plan for Strategy 1 is attached as an exhibit.

On-Site Management
RJM will provide full-time on-site supervision for all work. Our highest priority on
the project is to provide and maintain a safe working environment for everyone
on site. We understand that monitoring the quality of work daily is in the best
interest of everyone and RJM takes this responsibility seriously.
Project Safety
RJM’s superintendent closely monitors work of the contractors ensuring safety
procedures are being followed.
RJM Construction has been recognized by the Minnesota Department of
Labor and Industry and AGC of Minnesota as a Construction Health and Safety
Excellence (CHASE) partner. The CHASE partnership charter acknowledges the
importance of providing a safe, healthful work environment in construction
and seeks a working relationship that creates mutual trust and respect among
all parties, including project owners and construction workers, involved in the
construction process.
Schedule Control
RJM’s scheduler, Thomas Hussong, will review all contracts for specific scheduling
needs and profile critical time lines. The master schedule is updated regularly,
with an eye always on the overall completion date. We also provide three week
projection schedules that provide a breakdown of current project tasks, which are
utilized in the management of the contractors and vendors.
These tools will be used when coordinating work sequencing to ensure materials
and labor arrive as scheduled. Subcontractors will be held accountable to meet
these schedules as they will be developed early as a tool to use when awarding
subcontracts. A low-cost subcontractor is only qualified if they can meet the
project milestones.
Cost Control
During construction we diligently manage the project budget and contingency.
At each project meeting we will provide an updated budget so everyone is aware
of the financial status of the project at all times. Should cost issues arise, RJM
will collaborate with the design team to provide several options to solve the
challenge, mitigating cost impact.
RJM will keep the team aware of the status of the project contingency throughout
construction. As project milestones are met, options for utilizing contingency
dollars for owner-desired scope enhancements are given. Through careful
planning and tight project cost control, RJM will assist the City of Elk River in
completing the project on budget.

Part III: Key Qualifications & Approach
As a CHASE partner, RJM has
been publically recognized
for enforcing the importance
of providing a safe, healthful
work environment. We seek
a working relationship that
creates mutual trust and
respect among all parties,
including project owners and
construction workers.
25
Elk River Ice Arena and Lion John Weicht Park Facilities
Part III: Key Qualifications & Approach
RJM is willing and
capable to serve as
CMa or CMar and will
not bid or act as a
constructor for any
of the work. RJM
believes in acting
solely as the City of
Elk River’s advocate
and working as a
constructor is, in our
opinion, a conflict of
interest.
Quality Control
During the design process RJM will collaborate with 292 Design Group in the
quality review process. Unique among other CMs, we are builders and we utilize
this expertise to assist the designers in coordinating document details.
During bid solicitation, our team will ensure qualified contractors are hired for
critical areas of work. RJM has developed specifications that outline qualifications
to accompany select bids. This extra step gives assurance that a balance of value
and quality will be achieved.
During construction RJM will conduct pre-installation meetings with all
stakeholders to ensure proper sequencing and focus on details. RJM will manage
the development of mockups to help the team make informed material decisions,
but more importantly, hold the installation to an agreed quality standard.
CMa versus CMar Project Delivery
The investment in the renovation of the existing Elk River Ice Arena and Lion John
Weicht Park facilities can represent a challenge for the City of Elk River. Leaders
seek to spend tax dollars as wisely as possible, while ensuring that new facilities
are well constructed for the long term.
In general, the Construction Management delivery method is a smart choice to
complete your project. This process gives the City of Elk River control over the
entire process from start to finish, and provides an on-time project with improved
quality and reduced change orders.
For the Elk River Ice Arena and Lion John Weicht Park Facilities project, RJM will
work with the City to arrive at the best delivery model for this project. Our team is
experienced and open to executing either process.
Construction Manager Advisor
In the Construction Management Advisor (CMa) delivery, a contracting partner is
selected based on their qualifications and experience with the type of project
being constructed. The construction manager provides a host of pre-construction
services including phasing planning, developing the pre-construction schedule
and budgeting throughout the entire design process. The construction manager
essentially serves as an extension of the city staff, meeting with various user
groups and carefully reviewing the Architect’s plans for completeness and
constructability.
Because the construction manager is providing budgeting services during the
entire design process, they can identify when the design is exceeding the budget
and make recommendations to bring it back into alignment. In addition, they can
foresee items not clearly noted in the plans and make provisions for this work in
the bid packages, eliminating opportunity for change orders.
Although the CMa delivery method has many benefits, there are drawbacks. In
this delivery, the City enters into a contract with each individual subcontractor on
the project. This presents risk to the City as they are contractually responsible for
subcontractor failure.
26
The number of contacts subsequently increases the amount of administration for
City staff. With each contract comes monthly pay applications for each contractor,
as well as processing documentation for any design changes.
In addition, because the CMa does not hold any of the contracts or a Guaranteed
Maximum Price, there can be the perception of lack of ownership by the CMa
regarding schedule and budget.
Construction Manager at Risk
To address the drawbacks of the agency construction management process, many
cities have elected to utilize the Construction Manager at Risk (CMar) delivery
method. This process provides the advantages of the CMa process while allowing
the City to execute one contract, with the CMar.
With this delivery method, the CMar holds a contingency for unforeseen
conditions on the project, and the city holds a contingency for scope changes.
This is different from the CMa process, where the city holds the entire project
contingency. This is the only perceived disadvantage of the CMar process. In our
experience, cities that have utilized the CMar delivery model continue to use it on
subsequent projects.
To serve as the CMar on the Elk River Ice Arena and Lion John Weicht Park
Facilities project, the primary milestone requirements would be as follows:

Value-Added Qualities
As outlined on the previous pages, we believe the following attributes will allow
us to serve the needs of the City of Elk River in ways that go above and beyond
your expectations:
• Previous working knowledge of this opportunity
• Successful track record working on other projects for the City of Elk River
• Established relationship with 292 Design Group
• Ice arena experts
• Comprehensive pre-construction services
• Final estimate at 95% completion of design
• Strong partnership and communication
Additionally, we employ technology and tools for maximum efficiency throughout
all project phases, including:
On-Screen Takeoff
On-Screen Takeoff quantifies lengths, areas, volumes and counts. It calculates
measurements needed for estimates. On-Screen automatically saves calculations
for incoming addendum before bid day, change orders and revised specs, enabling
the team to be efficient and responsive.
Sage Estimating
Using a master historic cost database, the estimating team can effectively put
together a conceptual project cost estimate. Then they are able to incorporate
bids from subcontractors and analyze the information. Pre-built assemblies and
models backed by industry standard pricing are also accessible within Sage.
Viewpoint CS
Viewpoint CS is a fully integrated construction management software system that
is utilized by RJM. This software allows team to track all correspondence on our
project in one central database, from meeting minutes to purchase orders to final
billings. A wide variety of reports can be generated by Viewpoint during all phases
of the project, providing the project team with the information needed to keep the
project on track.
Citrix ShareFile
ShareFile is a cloud based solution where RJM can share documents of all sizes
with owners, architects and trades. A password protected site would be tailored to
your project, which the entire project team can access at any time. Items such as
plans, meeting minutes and progress photos can be stored here.
AutoDesk Revit
With Revit, RJM’s BIM Specialist, Jake Fisher, has the capability to develop three
dimensional models on projects to simulate the real world building process.
Through these models, we collaborate with the entire project team, providing
value in systems analysis and constructability reviews, enabling the team to make
more informed decisions regarding the design, systems, efficiency and quality of a
project.
29
Part IV: Project Examples, Supplemental Information

Navisworks
Using Navisworks, Jake can implement solutions for clash detection and scheduled
time lapse videos. Working closely with project partners, he can link architect,
engineer and contractor-created documents to run simulations to view potential
clashes. The team is able to meet and discuss issues months in advance before
issues have been identified in the field. The Navisworks time lapse feature
visually shows what has been finished, work underway and a look at what’s ahead
on the job site.
360 Degree Camera
RJM has a unique camera that can capture a 360 degree view of a job site. The
image is stitched together and uploaded to a secure website. There, viewers can
rotate through the image and get a complete view of progress or other pertinent
details needed. The camera makes a fun marketing opportunity as well, sharing
project progress with a broader audience.
30
Project Examples
For over a decade RJM has worked with a variety of municipalities to deliver
successful community projects such as ice arenas and other types of sports
facilities including ball fields. Working closely in alignment with City leaders,
architects, and contractors, RJM’s dedicated teams thrive on making our clients’
dreams become reality.
