Explanation
Background: This ordinance authorizes the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to enter into contract with O.A. Spencer, Inc. for a design assessment for the King Arts Complex.
Previous projects have addressed minor HVAC concerns as they arose, however the King Arts Complex is in need of a complete HVAC piping overhaul as well as potential redistribution of existing units to better service entire building. Renovations to the lobby, auditorium, and kitchen are a secondary priority as budget allows.
Phase I Assessment will review and investigate existing conditions so that thorough and accurate recommendations can be provided by the consultant. Once completed, the consultant will be able to provide a more conclusive scope of services for design and construction to provide the services the city is requesting.
Phase II will require a contract modification once we have an accurate assessment of existing conditions completed. This phase will be for the design of the improvements and construction administration services.
