THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Mendota Heights is advancing a municipal campus project to expand police and city hall space, replace aging HVAC/mechanical systems, and improve security and accessibility. Council authorized consultant ICS to move from schematic design into design development, while the city weighs whether to accept $4 million in state bonding that would trigger MN B3 high-efficiency building requirements. This is an active planning phase where the city must refine design, cost, and sustainability strategy, creating room for architects, engineers, energy, security, and building systems vendors to influence scope and standards before procurement is set.
City requested $12 million in state bonding for design and planning but received $4 million; accepting funds would require MN B3 compliance and may slow design. ICS is current design consultant; construction procurement not yet detailed.
