Explanation
This ordinance is to authorize the Director of the Recreation and Parks Department to modify the contract with OHM for additional design work associated with the Davis Center Renovation and the adjacent Adventure Center.
Background: The initial contract for this project included the design of improvements to the Davis Center as well as a Master Plan Study for the central campus area of Franklin Park. One of the key elements identified as part of the Master Plan was the need for exterior improvements to the Adventure Center building located adjacent to the Davis Center. This modification is for an expanded scope of work to which will include the architectural design and engineering of exterior improvements to the Adventure Center building. The Adventure Center was originally an athletic complex that was improved for use by AmeriFlora and is currently used by the Department’s Therapeutic Recreation Program. The anticipated scope of improvements includes removal of the existing entry canopy and design of a new canopy and exterior siding to the building. It is also anticipated that improvements will be made to the roof in order to improve the overall appearance and to address current drainage issues. It is the intent of the Department to bid the construction contract for the Davis and Adventure Center projects together for a construction start date in the spring of 2019.
Total cost for the project will not exceed $380,000
