Regular Council Meeting July 12, 2021 Page 4 9. Discuss and act on Amendment Number One to the Professional Services Contract with WRA Architects, Inc. for Phase II Services for the Love Civic Center Restoration Project. Mr. Path explained that WRA had completed Phase I and it was determined that there was more work than could be afforded, specifically with HVAC. He said he had been working with Mary O'Brien of WRA Architects and Laura Caffey of Caffey Architects. He also said they had been able to narrow the focus down to restroom renovations, roof repairs, lighting upgrades, flooring finish upgrades, ceiling tile replacement, security upgrades, fire alarm upgrades, door and window upgrades, ADA accessibility upgrades and painting. Mr. Path also said specific work would still need to be identified within each of the categories. He said the City wished to engage WRW with the designing and bidding phases. Mr. Path explained in order to accomplish this, an Amendment to the Professional Services Contract would need to be approved. Ms. O'Brien gave a presentation to City Council that included site & aerial views of the Love Civic Center, proposed site & floor plans, repair of roof leaks, paint, sidewalk & storefronts of the exterior, painting, floor & ceiling, exhibition hall, restrooms of the interior, and HVAC improvements. Council Member Pankaj said as a business owner that collects HOT Tax, that he was very excited about this and the attraction of new events. Mayor Portugal asked about the length of time the Civic Center would have to be shut down. Ms. O'Brien said the project would be done in sections and at different times, and the details could be worked out around planned events. Mr. Path said they had a lot of goals and a finite amount of money but once the bids were opened, they could determine the goals. Council Member Pilgrim said they might want to consider getting donors for certain sections of the project, such as meeting rooms or the ballroom. A Motion to approve this item was made by Council Member Pankaj and seconded by Council Member Pilgrim. Motion carried, 6 ayes — 0 nays. 10. Discuss expanding the PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) Act program to projects throughout the City. City Attorney Stephanie Harris said in February and March of this year, Council adopted a PACE Program. She said the program was for all properties inside the city limits but was set up for a single pilot project involving Paris Lakes. Ms. Harris reported that the City had received a request from Harrison Walker and Harper to expand the program to projects throughout the City so that HWH could take advantage of the program for energy efficient upgrades to several of its properties. Ms. Harris answered questions from City Council regarding the program. It was a consensus of City Council to move forward with expanding the program and for staff to bring the documents back to Council for consideration. 11. Discuss and act on Termination of Agreement for Airport Management; Termination and Buyout of Fixed Base Operator Management Lease Agreement; and approve Bill of Sale in the total amount of $89,000.00.
