FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 4, 2025
SUBJECT: THE REC OF GRAPEVINE EXPANSION/RENOVATION SERVICES TO
INCLUDE SCHEMATIC DESIGN, DESIGN DEVELOPMENT, AND
CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider the approval the expansion/renovation services
for The REC to include schematic design, design development, and
construction documents with Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture, and take
any necessary action.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the Capital Projects Fund for an estimated amount
of $1,231,512.
BACKGROUND: The REC of Grapevine, which opened in April 2015, has enjoyed ten
successful years of operation and has become one of the most utilized
recreation centers in the nation. Membership participation continues to
exceed expectations, creating increased demand on several areas of the
facility including adult fitness, classrooms, senior services, and support
spaces.
To proactively address these space and operational challenges, Barker
Rinker Seacat (BRS) Architecture, in collaboration with a multidisciplinary
team of engineers and specialists, conducted a comprehensive
Performance and Utilization Analysis (PUA) of The REC. This assessment
reviewed facility operations, programming, room usage, and building
systems, while also benchmarking national trends and best practices in
recreation facility design and management.
The PUA identified several opportunities to enhance efficiency, expand
high -demand program areas, and update building infrastructure to meet
current and future needs. Based on this analysis, PARD is recommending
to move forward with schematic design, design development, and
construction documents for a future expansion and renovation of The
REC.
As part of this next phase, the City will also engage a Construction
Manager at Risk (CMAR) to collaborate with the design team throughout
the process. The CMAR delivery method will provide pre -construction
expertise, cost estimating, constructability reviews, and schedule input to
ensure the project budget is accurate and aligns with City quality and
performance standards.
The expansion and renovation of The REC of Grapevine will ensure the
facility continues to meet the evolving needs of the community and
remains a flagship destination within the Parks and Recreation system.

Subject: The REC of Grapevine Expansion / Renovation — Fee Proposal for Schematic Design, Design
Development, Construction Documents
Dear Chris,
Thank you for the opportunity to allow Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture (BRS) to support the City of
Grapevine once again on the expansion and renovation of The REC of Grapevine. BRS will provide full
architectural design services for the REC's anticipated Expansion and Renovation, and will hire building
consultants (Structural, Mechanical, Plumbing, Electrical, Civil, Landscape Architects, and Energy
Modeling Services), most of whom were involved with the original expansion/addition. The consultant
team will provide the required documentation for pricing and permits throughout the design phase of this
project. Additional recommended optional services have been included with this proposal for
consideration (Furniture Evaluation/Selection, Interior Signage and Wayfinding, Low voltage —
Telecommunications/Security/Access Control Design, Basic Systems Commissioning (Cx), Acoustic
Analysis, Third -party Cost Estimating and Record Drawings).
Zach Bisek will be the Principal in Charge of your project. Zach will advise on recreation design, best
practices, and quality assurance. Our principals are working principals who stay involved in the project
from conceptthrough construction, as needed. Kent Fawcettwill be the Project Manager and your primary
point of contact.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
After completing a performance analysis with BRS, the REC's project scope of work is the addition of a
functional fitness area and equipment spaces, additional classroom space, and consolidated and
expanded child watch and admin spaces. This scope of work estimates the renovation of 16,938 SF of
existing building spaces and the addition of 15,600 SF of new construction. BRS provided conceptual
plans in the previous concept design phase for the proposed renovation/addition to the existing building
and identified areas on the site for the addition. In addition, BRS identified areas of the site that would
be subject to reconfiguration and improvement. It is anticipated that the site modifications will be
approximately 1.33 acres (-58,000 SF) and will include areas around the planned additions and a section
of the southern courtyard west of Steward Hall between The REC and the Library. The design scope of
work consists of Schematic Design, Design Development, Construction Documents, and
990 S. BROADWAY Bidding/Permitting. A Contract Administration budget estimate is also provided for your information;

during Construction Documents for in -person workshops with the client group. All other meetings will be
virtual and are anticipated to occur every 2-4 weeks. BRS will coordinate the architectural efforts with
the design team and client. Contract Administration site visits and frequency are provided as an
estimate only and will be formally established as more is known about the construction duration and
schedule.
PROJECT TASKS
Below is our understanding prioritized to the process required to facilitate the work:
TASK 1 / SCHEMATIC DESIGN
1.1 Kick -Off Meeting (In person)
Upon execution of the agreement, we will begin by assisting the city with the preparation of a CMAR
RFP, and working with the city's capital projects department, we will develop a set of criteria to evaluate
submissions, participate in CMAR interviews, and make recommendations for the selection of the
preferred proponent. CMAR interviews will be scheduled to align with the SD Workshop #1 in
Grapevine. The selection and contracting of the CMAR is estimated to take two weeks following the
interviews. It is anticipated that the selected CMAR will be available for SD Workshop #2
To kick off the project, our team will participate in a virtual kick-off meeting to launch the design and
engineering phase of the project. This is a critical point in confirming that the design team is fully aware
of all unique aspects of the existing site to ensure we are equipped to address any needs that may arise.
For this reason, we have assembled an excellent consulting/engineering team to assist in the
development of BRS's scope of work and verify existing conditions. The consultant team is prepared to
mobilize the necessary team members for data collection and verification to get off on the right foot with
schematic design.
We will help define the schedule for the remainder of the design process, starting with schematic design
and continuing through construction documents, permitting, and bidding. This project schedule will be
reviewed at each workshop to ensure we maintain pace and adhere to predefined critical client decision
points. We will work with City staff to understand the process of obtaining the necessary
approvals/permits and ensure a smooth transition into construction.
As necessary, we will also help determine Public Engagement strategies and define the supporting
documents to align with the Client's goals. However, it is not anticipated that further public engagement
will be required, as such public engagement meetings have not been included in the proposal at this
time. Support for any public engagement required by the city for this project can be offered as an
additional service.
Base Information: Upon confirmation of the building program and facility locations on the site, the design
team will complete a topographic survey of the affected site scope areas to assist with the design. In
addition, if the structural engineer determines that an updated geotechnical investigation is required
beyond the previous report completed in March 2013, the City of Grapevine shall contract with a
Geotechnical Engineer for this work and provide it to the design team for consideration in the design.

the Client and to all construction contractors and subcontractors on the Project for any and all injuries,
claims, losses, expenses, damages of any nature whatsoever or claims expenses arising out of this
