RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider approval of informal quotes to remodel The Grapevine Arts & Entertainment Center with multiple vendors. FUNDING SOURCE: Funding is available in the Capital Fund 325 for an amount estimated to be $294,370. BACKGROUND: This project will rehabilitate the former Senior Activities Center building into The Grapevine Arts & Entertainment Center. The Grapevine Senior Activities Center building located at 421 Church Street has been an asset to the City of Grapevine providing quality programming since the 1970s. Later, the building was expanded to serve the growing needs of the community. Then the idea of a multi - generational center, The REC of Grapevine, was conceived and all services were consolidated into one facility in 2015. The Senior Activities Center building was then leased to First United Methodist Church for mission and outreach services. The former Senior Activities Center will gain new life as The Grapevine Arts & Entertainment Center offering programming specifically geared to the arts and will be home for the Parks and Recreation Events staff and children's theater with our new partner, OhLook Performing Arts. Programs will include music, theater, acting, vocal, dance, tap, ballet, film, prop building and culinary to name a few. When classes are not held, certain spaces in the building will be available to residents of Grapevine for rentals for parties, class reunions, luncheons, etc. Parts of the building are almost 50 years old and all other areas in the building are 25+ years old. Many aspects need maintenance and/or replacement. Staff will self -perform as many functions as possible. Items that cannot be performed in-house, will be managed (general contracted) by City staff to keep cost down. The bones of the building are in excellent condition. Informal quotes were taken by Parks and Recreation staff for the remodel portions that could not be self -performed and then Purchasing staff reviewed for departmental specification compliance. Approval of this memo will provide contract authorization with the following vendors: DH Interiors - Doors/ceiling $46,000 Ware Painting - Exterior repairs/paint $25,000 Johnson & Sons - Flooring $49,900 Ware Brothers Construction - Framing $30,200 Ware Painting - Interior Painting $36,000 Ware Brothers Construction - Restroom wall/sinks $49,000 Victory Awning - Roof $28,270 DH Interiors - Sheetrock/demo $30,000 Staff recommends approval.
