Title
A presentation on the War Memorial Youth Center facility improvements.
Body
On May 26, 2015 at a budget workshop, the City Commission identified the Youth Center improvements as one of the priority projects that needed to be placed at the forefront of the Capital Improvement Plan.
Public Works staff procured the services of M.C. Harry & Associates as the design consultant for this project, which includes construction administration and project management services. The improvement project will be constructed in two phases. The first phase scope ($700,000 - funding sources is the NRP) includes replacement of bleacher seating, surface repair of outdoor basketball courts, fence replacement, major cleaning and painting of all surfaces, and other building and site repairs. Staff recommends that Dodec, Inc., through a piggyback contract, be assigned the site repairs scope which is ready for permit issuance. It is anticipated this phase will be complete in July, 2016.
The second phase of the improvement project is funded in the 2016 - 2020 general Capital Improvement Plan and includes and will be broken up into smaller bid packages to allow specialty contractors to bid the work separately, i.e. roofing, general construction, playground equipment, sodding and irrigation:
• Playfield improvements, new indoor & outdoor playgrounds, building and courtyard repairs ($1,435,990)
• Re-roofing ($418,145)
This work will be broken-up into smaller bid packages to allow specialty contractors to b did the work separately (roofing, general construction, playground equipment, sodding and irrigation).
The Public Works and Parks & Recreation Departments have worked together with M.C. Harry in developing the program and schedule. Staff along with representatives from M.C. Harry will be at the April 12th meeting to present and discuss an overview of the project, the individual scopes of work, and the timelines for each element of the project listed above.
