Status: The City has selected oslund.and.associates to provide landscape architecture services for the revitalization of the City-owned Peavey Plaza space. Four finalists submitted proposals in October and the firms were publicly interviewed on November 16. The 2010 Minnesota Legislature earmarked $2 million in state bond funds. The design will be developed in 2011 in collaboration with a Community Engagement Committee.
Project Scope: oslund.and.associates will be responsible for designing for the revitalization of Peavey Plaza from programming through construction administration. The City and the Minnesota Orchestra anticipate a two-phase design effort:
Phase I: Programming, concept design, and budget development. This phase will include meetings with the community engagement committee as required to gather input and develop the program. Phase 1 will not exceed $250,000.
Phase II: Schematic design through construction administration. Services in Phase 2 are subject to state and private funding availability. Total landscape architecture services of Phases 1 and 2 will not exceed 12% of the total cost of the project.
Schedule: The City and the Minnesota Orchestra anticipate an approximately 30-month project schedule with Phase I design work beginning in January 2011 and approval of the design concept complete in June 2011 with construction beginning in spring 2012. A grand opening is planned for summer 2013.
Budget: The total project cost will be finalized with the selection of a concept design at the completion of the Phase I work, but is estimated to be in a range between approximately $5-6 million.
