Moran Plan Update Parks, Arts and Culture Committee (PACC) Presentation January 30, 2019 Please join CEDO and the PACC at 6pm in Contois Auditorium
Abbreviated history of the Moran Plant Parks, Arts and Culture Committee: January 30 , 2019
Acknowledgements Collaborative approach drawing on many sources of effort and inspiration across decades of experience Erick Crockenberg Lincoln Brown Illustration PC Construction: Zach Campbell New Moran Inc. Team & many others • CEDO Staff past and present • BPRW: Erin Moreau • Freeman French Freeman: Jesse Beck & Alex Halpern • DEW Construction • Engineering Ventures
Funds available: $5.4million HUD Loan $2.o million • The $5.4 million includes $2.0 million from a HUD redevelopment loan for Moran. This has already been voter and council approved and is being repaid with TIF. • TIF funds must be bonded for no later than December 31, 2019 or the City will lose its authorization for the funds. Voter Approved TIF Funds $3.4 million
Review of demolition options & costs • March 2017 report outlined four demolition scenarios ranging from $3.9 million to $10.7 million – largely depending on the depth of excavation. Scenarios 3 and 4 have already been ruled out as economically not feasible. • Scenario 1: Demolition to grade (concrete slab remains) • Scenario 2: Demolition to two feet below grade (grass planted) * Escalated using Turner Building Cost Index from http://www.turnerconstruction.com/cost-index
Options • Do nothing • The result is the same as we have now, and we will still be required to remediate the site and maintain the building – but with no funding to do it. • Complete demolition • The result is a site that has been cleared and cleaned-up – but is just a big grassy lawn. • Partial Demolition • The result is a site that has been cleaned-up AND activated for current and future public use. • A new focal point for community activity on the waterfront • Utilities, public restrooms, walkways, and decorative pavers to support small events and seasonal activities • A structural framework that can be added-on for future uses and activities over time
FRAME Estimated Cost – Demo & Site Stabilization • Based on DEW Construction estimate (11/18) • Comparable to PC Construction estimate (11/18)

Next Steps • If the PACC feels that the FRAME concept should advance, CEDO would seek the PACC’s support of a resolution for the City Council in February 2019. • The resolution would authorize CEDO to advance to final design and other necessary next steps in order to meet 12/31/19 TIF deadline. • FRAME is a concept that delivers greater community value than demolition • Fits within available TIF funding at no additional cost to taxpayers • Creates functional, accessible facility for a wide variety of community uses and programming • Integrates well with surrounding waterfront amenities • Provides flexibility for future uses
