Legislative History: The previous agreements have been approved by the City Council regarding Lions Park. 12/13/2016 — Cooperative agreement for Lions Park — Long Lake Regional Park Cooperative Project (Construction, Cost share and, maintenance agreement) 03/10/2020 — Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement for Lions Park (regarding Maintenance and Operations) Financial Impact: The attached final invoice reflects the 50% cost share of the restroom building construction of $292,456.00. Explanation: This project was a joint project with Ramsey County. The initial Lions Park project was a joint effort between the City and Ramsey County to construct the parking lot, softball field, lacrosse field and playground. It is a unique and award winning project that allowed for the City and the County to maximize dollars and space by working together. The City was able to have a larger park area for amenities and the County was able to avoid duplication of efforts and amenities, by partnering with the City. The agreement was amended in 2020 to address the ongoing maintenance and operations of the park. (Adjusted hours of operation, ongoing responsibilities, and asset replacement.) The County managed the construction process for the restroom building through a Guaranteed Maximum Price Design Build process. Terra Construction was selected as the General Contractor. This building includes six individual gender neutral restrooms. The contract also includes the construction of a large picnic shelter that will seat 150 people. (The shelter is 100% funded by the County.) Both buildings were built to result in a Net Zero certification, meaning that they will produce enough energy from solar panels on the Shelter building to achieve a net zero energy use. The daily cleaning and maintenance of this building will be performed by Ramsey County and will have automatic locks that will be programmed based on the operational hours of the park.
