Specifications include, but are not limited to: The City of Grand Forks is seeking statements of qualifications for construction management at-risk services. The project will include the construction of the Altru Indoor Sports and Aquatics Complex (AISAC). In 2022, the Grand Forks Park District (Park District), with support from the City, hired BerryDunn, BRS, and WTI to complete an Indoor Sports Facility and Indoor Aquatic Facility Feasibility Study (Feasibility Study). This Feasibility Study was completed in 2023 and led to a proposed city-wide vote for an extension to the existing 0.75% Alerus Center Sales Tax. Funding from the passing of this sales tax extension in November of 2023 will be used to support ongoing capital improvements of the Alerus Center and the development and long-term capital maintenance of the new AISAC. The City and Altru Health System have entered into a naming rights agreement for the AISAC, which will help support the project funding. Additional funding, donor and financial support will be explored and considered throughout the project’s development. The AISAC facility will be owned by the City and operations will be managed by the Park District. The City and the Park District have entered a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between each party to provide these management and operation services.
