Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with General Maintenance and Engineering Co. for the Roof & Exterior Improvements 2023-24 - Recreation Centers Project. The contract amount is $515,000.00 and a contingency of $45,000.00 for a total of $560,000.00 being authorized by this ordinance.
Each year the Recreation and Parks Department works to improve facility roofs and exteriors that are no longer able to be repaired. This program makes sure the buildings are kept safe from the elements and that roofing systems remain under warranty support. This year's project has been broken into two contracts, of which this is one focused on exterior split-face block sealing at Carriage Place Community Center, Douglas Community Center, and Cleo Dumaree Athletic Complex. This project will extend the useful life of these properties by preventing water intrusion.
