RE: |
Award project PW-1343 – Community Health Building Improvements |
On May 26, 2015 the City of Lawrence opened construction proposals for the following: Project PW-1343 – City Bid No. B1524
Background
On January 25, 2013, the City, County and representatives from several departments from the Community Health Facility, met to discuss the Security Survey completed by the Lawrence Police Department (LPD). There were numerous meetings between the Police Department, Douglas County, City of Lawrence, and Treanor Architects to determine what the extent of the remodel should be, and what needed to be completed for security enhancement. The final plan was collaboratively decided by the group and a decision to split all approved costs between the City and County was made. Treanor Architects was directed to provide an estimate of costs for improvements to the facility.
Project Description
This project is for security update of several areas located within the Community Health Building. This work includes controlled access system upgrade, door modifications, and casework and additional doors in hallways and security locks for tenant suites. The overriding theme was to provide a secure barrier between clients and staff within the funds available.
Project Funding
The County, City and Community Health staff have reviewed the bid and are in favor of awarding to the low bidder (see attached bid).
