The community center will include site improvements, including but not limited to gymnasium, fitness area, day care facilities, and meeting rooms. The aquatics center will include the pool, bathhouse, and associated amenities required for operation.
The selected team will provide services, including developing the program in coordination with the Stop Six Choice Neighborhood Transformation Plan, creating architectural and engineering designs, reviewing and compiling budgets and recommending furniture, furnishings and equipment. The City intends to request statements of qualifications from qualified Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) contractors who will perform pre-construction during the design phase to assist with constructability issues and estimating. The combined project construction budget is approximately $20,000,000.
