Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Motion to Approve Service Authorization 12-20 with Wantman Group, Inc. to provide design and permitting services for the replacement of the Pavilion at Atlantic Dunes Park.
Body
Background:
The City utilizes engineering consultants that were retained via RFQ #2012-06 (City Project #12057). Wantman Group is one of the contracted firms. The Agreement with Wantman is valid through July 2017. The Pavilion at Atlantic Dunes Park was destroyed by fire in June 2016. Staff from ESD completed demolition of the site and closed it to the public on July 1, 2016. It has remained closed to the public since that time. The Pavilion at Atlantic Dunes Park has been a landmark since its construction in 1977. It is a valued venue for weddings and special occasions for residents of the City of Delray Beach. Pavilion rental is a revenue source for the Parks and Recreation Department, which has been lost since the Pavilion was destroyed. The City desires to replace this structure as quickly as possible. The boardwalk adjacent to the pavilion was constructed in 2010.
The goal of this Project is to replace the Atlantic Dunes Pavilion with a structure that complies with current building codes and utilizes sustainable "green" building materials. It is the intention of the City of Delray Beach to utilize the existing plans for both the Pavilion at Atlantic Dunes Park and the boardwalk to replace the lost structures with the same design. This will require an update of the existing plans for the Pavilion and for the boardwalk to meet current building codes including wind load standards. Plans and bid specifications will also include the use of sustainable building materials. Permitting will be required both with the City of Delray Beach and with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP).
This motion is in accordance with City Code of Ordinances, Section 36.06(A) (2), Change Orders, Within the Scope of Work.
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Finance Department Review:
Finance recommends approval.
Funding Source:
Funding is available from the City Manager’s contingency and will be transferred into account number 334-4170-572-63.90 (General Construction Fund: Other Improvements).
Timing of Request:
Replacement of this facility as quickly as possible will restore an important community amenity and reinstate a source of revenue from rental of the venue.
