undersized gym into exercise or activity space at the Southwest Community Center On March 16, 1989, (M&C C-11503) the City Council awarded a professional services contract to design and prepare plans, specifications and contract documents for the center expansion The professional services contract was for the design of a facility with a 5400,000 construction budget with an additional 555,000 being set aside for testing, permitting, inspection and contingency costs The services of the architect were suspended when they were unable to produce a project within the 5400,000 construction budget In late 1995, the Parks and Community Services Department (PACSD) working with the City's Small Project's architect developed three (3) scenarios which would meet the original intent of the Capital Improvement Program (C I P 1 and identified the projects' budgetary shortfalls Through input from the City Council's Facilities and Infrastructure Committee and a public meeting held in the community, direction and concurrence was issued to prepare architectural drawings following the Scenario No 3 plan This plan would !:rovide a full size (high school sizey gymnasium using a more appropriate building envelope and mechanical system Under this plan, a portion of the existing building would be demolished to meet building set-back requirements While this scenario will reduce the project budget, it is anticipated that additional funding will need to be secured to complete this expansion Printed on Regded Paper City of Fort Worth, Texas Mayor and Council Communication 05/07/96 G~11473
