Memorandum
Attached for your review and action is a resolution to approve a budget and agreement from the Office of Community and Economic Development (OCED) to fund the construction of an addition to the Bryant Community Center.
In 2012, the City of Ann Arbor purchased the property adjacent to the Bryant Community Center to accommodate expanding programs run by Community Action Network for the City of Ann Arbor, Parks and Recreation Services. In order to effectively manage programs between the two buildings, an addition is being proposed to connect the two structures and provide additional programming space, along with renovating the purchased property. The cost of construction is being funded by OCED in the amount of $210,000.00 and approved Parks Maintenance and Capital Improvements Millage Funds in the amount of $135,000.00 for a total project budget of $345,000.00. The OCED also funded the design of the project in the amount of $90,000.00. The agreement for the design was approved by Council on January 4, 2016.
The attached agreement for construction of the addition from the OCED is required between Washtenaw County and the Federal Government, and must be approved and signed by the City of Ann Arbor.
The budget for construction is estimated to be $345,000.00 including the addition, renovations to the existing buildings, and site work including a rain garden.
PAC recommended approval of this agreement at their December 20, 2016 meeting.
