Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 17, 2007 Page 25 11. Other Business Items a. Discussion of Geothermal Systems at the Roseville Skating Center Parks and Recreation Director Lonnie Brokke briefly reviewed the staff report dated December 17, 2007, based on previous City Council direction for feasibility studies. Discussion included aspects of best value contracting, anewly-adopted 2007 law, where performance criteria was set out and contractors selected based on per- formance and best value, with this project an excellent candidate for that type of design build approach, rather than awarding the lowest bidder, due to the unique nature of the project and limited number of qualified firms. Further discussion included useful life of several existing components; inflation- ary component clarification; expectations for aone-month timeframe for the de- tailed analysis and phasing recommendations; City Attorney Squires' explanation of the best value contract for professional services, and recommendations that KFI not be considered as a contractor, since they would be helping in preparation of the specifications; and defining the intent of each of the two (2) proposed mo- tions. Klausing moved, Ihlan seconded, authorizing the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Karges-Faulconbridge, Inc. (KFI) for an additional City Hall Campus-wide Feasibility Study and Analysis as outlined in the project report dated December 17, 2007, at a cost not to exceed $24,800, plus reimbursable travel and production expenses.
