Resolution to Appropriate Funds for and Approve a Budget in the Amount of $105,000.00 and Accept Funding of up to $90,000.00 from the Washtenaw County Office of Community and Economic Development for Design of an Addition to the Bryant Community Center (8 Votes Required)
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 design 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 design is being funded by OCED in the amount of $90,000.00 and approved Parks Maintenance and Capital Improvements Millage Funds in the amount of $15,000.00.
Construction of the project is being funded both by OCED, in the amount of $210,000.00 and the Parks and Recreation Maintenance and Capital Improvements Millage, in the amount of $135,000.00. An agreement for construction services will be submitted for approval under separate resolution.
The attached agreement for design 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 design is estimated to be $105,000.00 and includes a topographical survey, engineering to meet code requirements for mechanical and electrical systems, and architectural services to design the structure, provide construction drawings, and construction oversight.
