The building is over 30 years old and in need of <br />major renovation. On December 1, 2003, the City Council adopted a <br />resolution approving the application to seek State grant funds under the <br />Murray-Hayden Urban Parks and Youth Services Program. The City's request <br />was approved by the State in February 2005 and $2,500,000 was budgeted in <br />Fiscal Year 2005/2006. Improvements include a new HVAC system, renovation <br />of the gymnasium flooring, restroom and showers, exercise rooms, <br />classrooms, and reproofing the building. In addition the playground area <br />will be renovated with new equipment. <br /> <br />Design of the renovation will require the services of a qualified <br />architect. These services include planning of the facilities, preparation <br />of construction documents, and support during the construction bidding <br />phase. Staff has solicited proposals for these services. Qualified firms <br />were contacted, however due to limited staff resources only one firm, <br />Gillis & Associates Architects Inc, submitted a proposal. Their proposal <br />is complete and responsive to the City's request. Gillis & Associates has <br />positive prior experience with the City. Both the Public Works and Parks <br />and Recreation Community Services Agencies are familiar with their <br />expertise in the architectural field. <br /> <br />25H-1 <br />
