Attachment H <br />Memo <br />To: Sue Iverson — Interim City Administrator <br />From: Stacie Kvilvang - Ehlers <br />Date: November 28, 2016 <br />Subject: TCAAP Park Costs <br />At the November 21st City Council worksession, WSB provided preliminary park <br />improvement cost estimates for the Creek, Hill, and Town Center parks. The preliminary <br />cost estimates totaled approximately $18,995,000 for all three parks. The current park <br />dedication fee is projected to generate about $11,084,000 of fees to pay for the park <br />improvements. WSB and the Master Development Team did not have an opportunity prior <br />to the worksession to review and reconcile the assumptions behind those estimates. <br />Additionally, the park dedication fee calculation did not include the potential fee schedule <br />increases. <br />WSB, Ehlers, Tradition Homes and Alex Duval subsequently reviewed the cost estimates <br />together to review the park program assumptions, reconcile potential differences, and <br />identify solutions for remaining cost gaps. Based on the results of this joint review, the total <br />estimated park improvement cost estimate is now approximately $14,500,000 or about $4.5 <br />million less than the initial estimate. This cost reconciliation identifies a path that is intended <br />to maintain the overall integrity of the park program while sensibly adjusting the fees to <br />cover the park improvement costs. <br />Estimated <br />Park <br />Improvement Cost <br />20% Contingency <br />25% Design/ <br />Oversight <br />Total <br />Creek $ <br />2,104,207 <br />$ 420,841 <br />$ <br />631,262 <br />$ 3,156,311 <br />Hill $ <br />2,527,179 <br />$ 505,436 <br />$ <br />758,154 <br />$ 3,790,769 <br />Town Center $ <br />8,031,897 <br />$ 1,606,379 <br />$ <br />2,409,569 <br />$ 12,047,846 <br />Total $ <br />12,663,283 <br />$ 2,532,657 <br />$ <br />3,798,985 <br />$ 18,994,925 <br />Reconciled <br />Park <br />Improvement• <br />Estimated <br />15% Design/ <br />Park <br />10% Contingency <br />Total <br />Improvement <br />Cost <br />Oversight <br />Creek $ <br />1,897,052 <br />$ <br />189,705 <br />$ 313,014 <br />$ <br />2,399,771 <br />Hill $ <br />1,885,279 <br />$ <br />188,528 <br />$ 311,071 <br />$ <br />2,384,877 <br />Town Center $ <br />7,677,097 <br />$ <br />767,710 <br />$ 1,266,721 <br />$ <br />9,711,527 <br />Total $ <br />11,459,427 <br />$ <br />1,145,943 1 <br />$ 1,890,805 <br />$ 14,496,175 <br />www.ehlers-inc.com <br />EHLERS <br />LEADERS IN PUBLIC FINANCE <br />Minnesota phone 651-697-8500 3060 Centre Pointe Drive <br />Offices also in Wisconsin and Illinois fax 651-697-8555 Roseville, MN 55113-1122 <br />toll free 800-552-1171 <br />
