it will be necessary to completely reconstruct the perimeter fence and any defective areas of the fence <br />would be corrected at that time. <br /> <br />Hockey Net Screening <br />The hockey net screening between the speed skating oval and the temporary hockey rinks in the middle <br />of the oval has degraded and in need of some repair. The net cable support columns need some repair <br />to their concrete bases and both the cable support and netting should be replaced. <br /> <br />Perimeter Crash Pads <br />Crash Pads have a scheduled maintenance and replacement plan that spreads annual budgets out over <br />time by staged replacement. The pads can be reused with a proper fence redesign as outlined above and <br />should not need to be addressed outside their scheduled replacement plan. <br />Sports Lighting System <br />Sports lighting is original and appears to be adequately addressing night time skating needs. There is no <br />plan for replacing the sports lighting at this time but as lighting technology improves certainly the <br />system could be replaced to save energy if desired. <br />Scoreboard <br />The scoreboard video screen was replaced a few years ago with a much more robust and efficient <br />system and currently is not in need of replacement. <br />Summary of Recommended Improvements <br />The condition assessment and recommended improvements to the Guidant John Roe Minnesota Oval <br />are discussed in detail above. To provide a recap of improvements, they are concisely outlined below. <br />Refrigeration Plant <br />1. Compressors <br />a. The (3) - compressors have 10 or more years of life remaining with minor rebuilding. <br />The rebuilding requirements should be verified by a certified Vilter refrigeration <br />mechanic inspection of the compressors. <br />b. Replace the two original outdated microprocessor controls on the compressor with <br />new Vision 20/20 controllers. These controllers would provide 15-20 years of <br />service. <br />c. Energy saving idea: An enhanced control system could be installed to allow the <br />compressors to be reprogrammed to “Floating Head Control” which automatically <br />adjusts the condensing temperature to a lower value during cooler weather months <br />to reduce horsepower requirements of the compressor motors. This option would <br />be in lieu of the Vision 20/20 controllers for they are not require with this proposed <br />improvement. The enhanced control system would function as an “overall” control, <br />controlling the compressors, as currently provided by the Vision 20/20 controllers, <br />212121 <br /> <br />
