The City intends to build a Civic Center of approximately 48,000 square feet, with a budget of 9.5 million dollars. The facility will include but not be limited to a fitness center of approximately 16,000 square feet (including an 8,000 square foot gymnasium), a library of approximately 10,000 square feet, a police department facility of approximately 6,000 square feet, and administrative offices and public meeting space of approximately 10,000 square feet.
The City has created the attached conceptual design of the Civic Center and seeks the services of an architect to coordinate and conduct a public meeting process, to meet with City Staff and public officials, and to thereby develop and refine the plans for the Civic Center to a 20% schematic level.
The Civic Center will be designed to meet 2012 International Building Code standards, and will meet or exceed LEED Silver standards, but will not be required to be LEED certified. The interior of the library will be designed and constructed by the Jefferson County Library district, but the Architects/Owner’s Representative will work with district architects and consultants to coordinate the efforts of the City and the district. The program that is developed must meet the requirements set forth in this section and is expected to remain within the $9.5 million budget.
