Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with Berglund Construction Company for the Davis Center Preservation and Stabilization Project. The contract amount is $979,000.00, with a contingency of $121,000.00, for a total of $1,100,000.00 being authorized by this ordinance.
The Davis Center, located in Franklin Park, is in need of stabilization for building preservation and safety. The project will consist of removing the east and west patios, including the rails, steps and handicap ramp. The basement walls directly under the building will be infilled along with backfill and new slabs on grade at both sides of the colonnade. A ventilation system will be added to move air through the building to alleviate odor and humidity buildup since there are no active mechanicals in the building. The large theater awning in the rear of the building will be removed while adding security lighting for added safety.
