ADMINISTRATIVE COMMENTS:
In 2023, a feasibility study was conducted regarding possible expansion of the Lewisville Grand Theater. One aspect of assessment for the feasibility study, if expansion was not possible, was called “Home” and made recommendations of possible renovations to consider for the existing facility to refresh some aspects and update technology to keep the venue viable and desirable for clients for the next decade or more. Staff was given direction to proceed with exploring the “Home” renovation recommendations further and did so with consultants TheatreDNA. Their “Home Design” assessment included recommendations for an outdoor storage facility to safely house equipment that has been added to the department’s inventory over time, technology updates, space renovations, and budget estimates done in three phases. This was presented to City Council on September 18, 2023. The recommendation was to proceed with Phase One and some select elements from other phases. This PSA with Brandstetter Carroll, Inc is for the design of the outdoor storage facility element of these recommendations. Brandstetter is the firm that designed both the Fleet and Facilities building and City Hall basement remodel, and has recently completed the design phase for the indoor renovations for the Lewisville Grand Theater. Funding is available in the Facilities Renovation and Repairs Project.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council approve the agreement and authorize the City Manager, or her designee, to sign the agreement as set forth in the caption above.
