Design/Construction Highlights

What’s happening now?  ~ March 4, 2010

  • Project continues on schedule and on budget.
  • The site is actively under construction. You will see heavy equipment moving around the site, including trucks hauling dirt, dumpsters delivered, and erosion fencing put in place. A number of trees on the site have been removed to provide for the expanded building footprint. Portions of the structure have been removed. Structural demolition will continue through March. 
  • Trucks and construction vehicles will continue to enter the site primarily from 188th Street.
  • Demolition and earthwork activities will continue through March.
  • Utilities, including storm water, sanitary sewer, and water, will be installed.
  • The site is fenced, with construction only access. No public access will be allowed during construction.

What's happening next?

The contractor will be excavating for the foundation of the new leisure pool building.

All of the subcontractor bid packages will be awarded by the end of March.

Weather permitting, work on the parking lot on 44th Avenue West, across the street from the Recreation Center, will begin in April. This will include site earthwork, installation of erosion fencing and tree removal.

Project Financing

On November 24, 2008, City Council voted to fund the Recreation Center renovation and expansion. The Council adopted two ordinances, including the financial plan and funding summary and the legal authority to increase the City's utility taxes to fund the project. The Council also approved the professional services contract for NAC|Architecture, the principal architect for the project.

The design and construction costs, estimated to between $22 million and $25.5 million, will be financed initially with bond anticipation notes (similar to a construction loan for private or residential capital projects). Upon completion of the project, the notes will be retired by the proceeds of permanent financing in the form of Limited Tax General Obligation Bonds amortized over a 20-year period.
