Memorandum

City of Lawrence

Parks and Recreation Department

TO:	Dave Corliss, City Manager
FROM:	Mark Hecker, Assistant Director, Parks and Recreation
DATE:	June 25, 2014
RE:	Change Order – Interior of Sports Pavilion Lawrence

Please include the following item on the City Commission agenda for consideration at the July 1st meeting:

The City of Lawrence Parks and Recreation Department requests Commission approval to make changes to the interior of the Sports Pavilion Lawrence.  

Project Description

Item #1 – 7,000 sq. foot Multi-Purpose Area

The original design of the building called for 7,000 square feet of space, to be minimally finished, to allow for future development of a wellness center by an outside entity.  Staff recommends adopting the attached plan and beginning development of this space as a multi-purpose area.  The space will be used for additional public programing and reservations.

Add new wall with door and windows

(Price includes deduct for originally planned walls in large openings)        $16,606.70

Add lights, exit signs and electric outlets in new hall                                   $8,000

Total     $24,606.70

Note: This change will allow the facility to open and function around this space. Future work will be needed, after the facility opens, to finish this space for long-term public use.

Item #2 Concessions area security gate header

In the concessions area of the building, we plan to have two ways of delivering concession products.  One is the traditional over-the-counter delivery system and one is a grab-and-go area where customers pick-up desired items and take them to the register. The original plan for the facility did not provide for a way to secure the grab-and-go area during times when the facility is closed. The proposed change would construct a header at the ceiling to allow for sliding security gates to be installed. The security gates will be purchased and installed by the City.

Header construction cost                                                                      $2,475

Item #3 blocking under wood floor

We would like to add blocking under a small portion of the wood gym floor on the two west courts. This would allow us to install portable basketball goals, if there is ever a desire to put in a temporary 94’ long basketball court over the permanent courts.

Cost of blocking                                                                                     $800

Item#4 change light fixtures in the team check-in area (deduct item)

There was a need to change the planned lighting fixtures in the team check-in area to allow for added ceiling to floor clearance

Cost of light fixture change                                                                  $(1,034)

Project Funding

Funding is available in the 2014 Sales Tax Reserve Fund.

Action Request

Authorize the City Manager to pay Gene Fritzel Construction Co., Inc., $26,847.70 to provide requested changes to the interior spaces of the Sports Pavilion Lawrence.
