Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Setterlin Building Company for the Cultural Arts Center Renovations 2025 Project. The contract amount is $789,450.00, with alternates of $44,220.00 and a contingency of $83,367.00, for a total of $917,037.00. An additional $2,500.00 is being authorized for interdepartmental inspections and fees for a total of $919,537.00 being authorized by this ordinance.
The interior portion of the project at the Priscilla R. Tyson Cultural Arts Center will includes flooring and restroom improvements. The current main gallery flooring was installed over 20 years ago. The existing floor does not support new gallery layouts or special event layouts. The flooring improvements will help support fine arts programming and special events capabilities. The restrooms on the first and third floors of the facility will be improved by providing ADA accessible stalls and ambulatory stalls. Also, the current restrooms do not provide appropriate access to mechanicals, resulting in operational issues, so maintenance access in the restrooms will be improved as part of this project. Construction is expected to start in winter of 2025 and be completed in the spring of 2026.
