Fiscal Note
The proposed resolution authorizes a contract of $295,770 with Joseph Lee & Associates, LLC to provide professional architectural and engineering design services and construction administration services for the design and construction of the Reindahl Imagination Center/Library. The Reindahl Imagination Center/Library capital project (MUNIS Project #17085) includes a budget of $500,000 in GO Borrowing from a 2018 appropriation. Available budget in this project will fund the contract proposed in this resolution. No additional appropriation is necessary.
Subsequent design phases estimated at an additional $1,200,000 and planned for 2022 and construction estimated at $15,000,000 and planned for 2023 are subject to future appropriations and are included in the 2021 Adopted CIP. The total capital project cost is currently estimated at $16,600,000.
Operating costs once the facility is open will depend on the final size of the building and the community services that are included. For comparison, a library similar to the Ashman branch would have anticipated operating costs of $1,500,000 annually.
