INTRODUCTION
The attached resolution provides for the acceptance of the Equipment, Goods, and
Services Contract for the Mystique Ice Arena Dasher Board and Shielding System
Project.
BACKGROUND
The mitigation work for the ice arena settlement remediation has been successfully
completed. The first phase of work began on June 1 st with the removal of the original
existing rink dasher boards and shielding, the rink ice system, and bleachers to allow for
the installation of a non-destructive deep foundation system under the rink area and
throughout the lower-level main floor interior finished building space. Once the settlement
and foundation system were completed, a concrete subfloor was installed and supported
on the deep foundation system. Once the concrete subfloor was in-place, a new
refrigerated ice rink concrete floor was installed which is now supported by the subfloor slab
and foundation. Once the refrigerated ice rink floor was operational, the arena bleachers
and seating were reinstalled along with installation of new dasher boards, and the
installation of new rubber sport flooring on the lower-level main floor. All this work was
successfully completed, and the Dubuque Ice Arena was reopened to the public on
November 1, 2022.
Due to the differential settlement in the range of zero to 5 plus inches throughout the main
level floor slab, there was legitimate concern and belief that the original existing arena
dasher board and shielding system had shifted and developed warpage within the boards
and steel framework. Based on the age and condition of the original existing arena dasher
board and shielding system, staff elected to purchase and install a new dasher board and
shielding system as part of the overall settlement remediation project.
The original arena dasher board and shielding system was removed, salvaged, and is now
stored for potential reuse if a second sheet of ice is constructed at some future date.
Should second sheet of Ice be developed, the salvaged dasher boards would be
reconditioned for installation and reuse.
DISCUSSION
The Mystique Ice Arena Dasher Board and Shielding System Project was completed by
Becker Arena Products, Inc., of Shakopee, Minnesota in the final contract amount of
$332,998.00.

I recommend that the City Council accept the improvements and authorize the payment of
the final contract amount of 332,998.00 to Becker Arena Products, Inc. for the Mystique
Ice Arena Dasher Board and Shielding System Project.
