Date: May 13, 2024 Item: 19 Presenter: Josh Lemons, Parks & Golf Superintendent Section: Parks Report Title: Golf Course Pavilion Project Award 1.Purpose: The purpose of this item is to award the Golf Course Pavilion project to Mike North Construction. 2.Background: The Parks Commission created a Golf Course Masterplan in 2017. The masterplan focused on amenities such as a deck for the clubhouse, a fire pit, a pavilion, and other items. The pavilion was recently included in the Pickleball Masterplan for the golf course several years ago. While pickleball was removed from consideration at the golf course, the pavilion has remained as an item of interest. The pavilion would be of great use to the golf course to help bring in corporate events, birthday parties, golf customer use, etc. The Orono Lions contacted staff towards the end of 2023 with a request to partner on building a pavilion in time for the 100-year anniversary of the golf course. The Orono Lions would like to dedicate the pavilion to the Leo Feser Family. Leo Feser was the founder of the Orono Orchards Golf Course. Staff brought the request to the Parks Commission who unanimously recommended taking the proposal to the City Council. An open house was held on May 7, 2024. Comments are attached. 3.Scope: The project would feature a 24'x40' wooden structure that would match the aesthetics of the clubhouse. The pavilion would feature a concrete slab for a base. 4.Cost: Staff sent the project to three contractors and only received one quote back for the work. Mike North Construction provided the sole quote. The estimated cost of the project is $80,222. The contractor is willing to use labor from the Orono Lions which will help offset some of the cost of the project. 5.Funding: Funding for this project would come from donations from the Orono Lions and from city funds. The Orono Lions have committed to donate $40,000.00. Richard Anderson of North Shore Marina has also committed to a $2500 donation for the pavilion as well. This would leave a balance of $37,722.00 which would come from a combination of the Golf Course Enterprise fund and the Parks fund. 6.Staff Recommendation: Staff recommends awarding the contract to Mike North Construction. This is a unique opportunity to gain a city asset while partnering with a local charitable group. If the city were to build this without the support of the Orono Lions, the city would be paying a much higher price for the same AGENDA ITEM 195
