Body
Background:
The Arts Warehouse is located at 313 NW 3rd Street within the Pineapple Grove Arts District in CRA Sub-Area #3 and is a two-story commercial building that the CRA acquired in 2010. Previously a one-story warehouse that was used for autobody work, the CRA completed a full renovation to the 15,000 sq. ft. space in 2017. The renovation included adding a second story for affordable artist studio rentals and building out the first story to include exhibition, gallery, and event rental spaces. The Arts Warehouse serves as a recognizable anchor on Artists Alley driving pedestrian activity and development in the area.
On March 25, 2025, the CRA Board approved the issuance of Invitation to Bid (ITB) CRA No. 2025-03 for the exterior and interior repair work to the Arts Warehouse: repairing and replacing the roof membrane for both stories, parapets, gutters and downspouts to remedy roof leaks, repairing any cracked and/or defective stucco, exterior painting, and repairing cracks and/or any defective areas in the interior concrete floor throughout the building to restore the floors to their original design strength and appearance (Project). This Project was budgeted within the CRA’s Budget for Fiscal Year 2025-2026 CRA.
Maintaining the Arts Warehouse prevents slum and blight and contributes to creating additional affordable commercial spaces and economic opportunities within the CRA District as indicated in the objectives of the CRA Redevelopment Plan.
On October 28, 2025, the CRA Board awarded the ITB to Dan Enterprises Team, LLC, and authorized CRA Staff to enter into negotiations related to the Construction Services Agreement.
Construction Services Agreement:
CRA Staff have met with Dan Enterprises Team, LLC and had the opportunity to discuss the scope of work needed for the Project.
At this time, CRA Staff is requesting the CRA Board approve the Construction Services Agreement for Invitation to Bid CRA No. 2025-03 for the construction of exterior and interior repairs to the CRA-owned two-story building located at 313 NE 3rd Street, also known as the Arts Warehouse, with Dan Enterprises Team, LLC, in an amount not to exceed $426,771.71, and authorize the CRA Board Chair to execute the Construction Services Agreement, and any and all related documents for the Project, in a form that is acceptable to the CRA Legal Counsel.
