9. Award of Contract
a) Schmitz-Maki Arena Rubber Floor Replacement Project
Parks and Recreation Director Distad presented the bids for the arena floor replacement
project.
A request is being made to spend a portion of the $200,000 in liquor store profits that were
transferred to Schmitz-Maki Arena Capital Improvement Projects Fund. The request is to
replace the arena's rubber flooring material.
Previously staff had discussed with the City Council at the July 13, 2020 work session a
request to have $200,000 in liquor store profits be transferred to the Arena Capital
Improvement Fund in order to complete a number of identified capital improvement
projects. One of the projects identified was to replace the existing rubber the floor
throughout the building, with the exception of the men's public restroom rubber tile floor
because it was replaced this summer.
The rubber tile floor in the lobby, women's public restroom and team room #1 and #2 area
was last replaced in 2005. The rubber tile floor in team room 5 and 6 has not been replaced
since these team rooms were built in the 1990's. Given the age and condition of the rubber
tile floors in these areas of the arena, staff solicited proposals to have the existing rubber
tile floor removed and new rubber tile flooring installed.
Staff solicited proposals from two companies that sell and install the same rubber tile floor
that was installed by staff this summer in the men's public restroom. This is so that the
rubber tile floor installed in the men's restroom will match the rubber tile floor that will be
installed in the other areas of the arena.The rubber tile floor provides a needed protection
for skaters so they can walk to and from the team rooms and restrooms without touching
the concrete floor, which would dull the blades of the skates.
All American Arena Products, LLC submitted the low quote for this work in the amount of
$76,750.00. Included in the meeting packet is the proposal submitted by All American
Arena Products, LLC. The proposal is inclusive of removing and disposing of the existing
rubber flooring material and replacing it with new rubber flooring material.
August 17, 2020 Minutes -2-
The other bid received was from Becker Arena Products in the amount of$84,432.70.
In addition to staff recommending that the arena's rubber flooring material be replaced,
Farmington Youth Hockey Association also identified this as one of the arena projects they
would like to see completed this year.
BUDGET IMPACT
Staff had previously estimated the cost of replacing the rubber flooring material in the
Arena at$80,000.00. The actual cost of the project based on the low quote submitted by
All-American Arena Products, LLC is $76,750.00. This is $3,250.00 under the estimated
cost. Funding to replace the rubber flooring material will come from the $200,000.00 in
Farmington Liquor Store profits that were transferred to the arena's Capital Improvement
Fund.
This means after this project is completed,there will still be $123,250.00 remaining from
the liquor store profit transfer that can be used for other arena capital projects that staff
previously identified.
Councilmember Craig asked when the project would occur. Distad shared that staff will work
with the contractor on times to get the project completed.
Mayor Larson asked if any of the floor sections could be reused at the warming houses. Distad
stated that while some of the sections clearly cannot be used, staff would check to see if this is
a possibility.
Motion by Bernhjelm, second by Craig, to approve a contract with All American Arena Products,
LLC in the amount of$76,750 to replace the arena's rubber flooring material and authorize the
mayor and city administrator to execute the contract. APIF, motion carried.
