Integrated Design
Recommendation:That the February 24, 2009, Capital Construction Department report 2009CC5792 be received for information.
Report Summary
This report provides information on the proposed integrated design for the North Central Multi-purpose Recreation Centre.
Report
· This report provides an update on the design of the North Central Field House and Recreation Centre within the approved budget.
· Summary of project history is outlined in Attachment 1.
· Administration and the Edmonton Eskimos have jointly developed an integrated design for the North Central Field House and Recreation Centre. This integrated design will result in a superior facility for both the City and the Eskimos with no further civic funding required.
· On July 14, 2008, City Council approved $40 million for the design and construction of a Field House at Commonwealth Stadium. The design included general change rooms, an Edmonton Eskimo locker room and general amenities.
· The funding source was tax supported debt of $20 million and a $20 million contribution from the Edmonton Eskimos ($15 million provincial grant and $5 million Edmonton Eskimos).
· In December, as part of the 2009 Capital Budget process, the North Central Recreation Centre was approved along with the Clareview and Meadows Multi-purpose Recreation Centres as one project profile (08-21-5811). Of this, $70 million was allocated for the design and construction of the North Central Recreation Centre. This included provisions for a swimming pool and support space.
· Professional recreation facility design consultants retained for the project recommended an integrated design for the field house and swimming pool.
· The integrated design requires relocating the fitness facilities (fitness centre, change rooms, and program room) into a common lobby and support space between the swimming pool and field house, and construction of a new Edmonton Eskimo office in the stadium.
· The integrated design achieves:
· cost savings from renovating the existing building and reducing the area of new construction through shared use of the recreation centre, savings in overall site development costs, and elimination of duplicated space
· centralized City and Edmonton Eskimo functions for the most efficient and functional use of the existing and new building and greater operation efficiency
· smaller footprint which maximizes the amount of green space and parking on the site
· ability to host stadium events and operate recreation centre simultaneously for maximum public recreation access
· greatest urban design value.
· The Construction Manager has provided cost estimates that indicate this can be achieved within the approved budget.
· As part of the cost associated with relocating the fitness facilities, the Edmonton Eskimos have agreed to contribute an additional $2.5 million in support of the integrated design, bringing their total contribution to the project to $22.5 million.
· The Eskimos are also obligated to pay for all operational costs associated with their portion of office space and amenities.
· At the September 8, 2008, Community Services Committee meeting, Administration was asked to provide a report updating the timelines for the construction of the amended North Central Multi-purpose Recreation Centre. An updated timeline is included as Attachment 2.
Financial Implications
A budget adjustment to increase capital profile 08-21-5811 will be processed. Source of funding is developer financing from the Edmonton Eskimos.
