Caruana Franklin Wu Director of Community Services Chief Administrative Officer JPC/SM/wg CORPORATION OF THE MUNICIPALITY OF ClARINGTON 40 TEMPERANCE STREET, BOWMANVILLE, ONTARIO L 1C 3A6 T (905)623-3379 F (905)623-5506 REPORT NO.: CSD-011-08 PAGE 2 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 During the 2008 budget deliberations, Council directed staff to close the Total Hockey operation as of March 1,2008. Subsequently, at the March 31st General Purpose and Administration Committee, Council received Report CSD-007-08 on the floor space of Total Hockey and directed staff to issue a Request for Proposal for future use of the space. 1.2 As indicated Report CSD-007 -08, staff was in the process of obtaining costs associated with dismantling the space and preparing the space for a new tenant. 1.3 A Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Total Hockey space was issued on April 15, 2008. The RFP indicated to proponents that the space would be available for occupancy on or about July 1, 2008. In order to meet this timeline, the renovations to the space need to occur during the month of June and therefore approval for the funding of the renovations is required in advance of June 1 st. 2.0 COMMENTS 2.1 In addition to construction costs to renovate the space, there are other costs related to the dissolution of Total Hockey. The chart below is a summary of anticipated costs: $2,500 $500 $16,000 $5,000 $800 $2,200 $27,000 2.2 At this time staff is uncertain whether it will be necessary to store the collection at an off-site location. The budget above does include four months of off site storage; however, it would be staff's preference, if adequate space can be secured, to store all items on Municipal property thus reducing the funds required. The budget above is a reasonable estimate of known costs. Wherever possible, staff will restrict costs on this project. REPORT NO.: CSD-011-08 PAGE 3 2.3 Staff has sought out and is in the process of obtaining written quotations from several qualified candidates to appraise the collection. An appraisal is required to determine the current market value and would be used as a tool to evaluate potential proposals. In order to expedite this process staff will commission the appraisal work to be undertaken in early May. 2.4 Other anticipated costs that are unknown at this time relate to the dispersal of the collection. While it is reasonable to assume an interested party may purchase the collection in its entirety, it is also possible that other options may need to be considered and these options may involve costs for services. 2.5 Staff will bring a Report forward at the June 2, 2008 General Purpose and Administration Committee meeting dealing with the dissolution of Total Hockey and all associated matters.
