Background:
History:
The Hennepin Healthcare replacement parking ramp (the ‘Project”) is necessary to replace parking capacity that will be lost when the parking ramps located on the Parkside block are taken down for future construction of a new hospital tower on that site. The Project is located one block south of the planned new hospital tower, on Centennial Place between 9th Street and 10th Street South in Minneapolis.
This Project will provide parking for approximately 1,000 vehicles, a liner space along Chicago Ave, and a security office and a skyway connection to the existing HCMC campus. Climate action initiatives include a photovoltaic array, stormwater retention, electric vehicle charging stations, secure bicycle parking and sustainable landscaping. The Project will meet the Buildings, Benchmarks & Beyond (B3) Guidelines.
Numerous reviews and approvals by the city of Minneapolis will be necessary for the Project to proceed. The Project is scheduled to be before the city of Minneapolis Planning Commission on March 10th, City Council Business, Housing & Zoning Committee on April 8th and City Council on April 17th.
The design team, led by Snow Kreilich Architects, was chosen through a competitive process by a committee of representatives from Hennepin County and Hennepin Healthcare in December 2024. The construction manager at risk, Kraus-Anderson Construction, was selected through a competitive process by a committee of representatives from both Hennepin County and Hennepin Healthcare earlier this year. Pre-construction fees are fixed at $171,611 while the guaranteed maximum price (GMP) is to be developed towards the end of the design.
Current Request:
This request is to authorize the county to award related contracts to design and construct a replacement parking ramp for Hennepin Healthcare provided the contracts do not exceed the approved project budget.
Impact/Outcomes:
Approval of this request will allow for the design and construction of the Hennepin Healthcare parking ramp, which in turn will allow for the demolition of the structures on the Parkside block and construction of a new hospital tower.
