This project is to design and then renovate the Bellaire Recreation Center at 7008 5th Street. The project would start in FY 2024 with space planning at an estimated cost of $50k. Previous conceptual space planning was completed by PGAL but more details are necessary and would include the interviewing of Recreation Center users and staff to determine current and future needs to generate a detailed facility concept that programs space in the building for certain uses/activities. If Council approves the concept, in FY 2025 an architect would take this space planning study to complete construction designs for a Recreation Center renovation. Construction design work is estimated to cost $250k and would generate detailed construction cost estimates and provide specification that could be used to bid future construction work. Council would then have detailed plans and cost estimates to determine if they wish to pursue renovation of the Recreation Center. Actual renovation work could begin in FY 2026 and is currently estimated by the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board to cost $1,000,000; this is a rough estimate that could change depending on a wide variety of variables such as renovations, technology, ADA modifications, resistance to flooding, construction methodology, etc. This project is currently in the FY 2023-2027 Capital Improvement Program. As of May 16, 2024, further details regarding construction and completion timelines have not been identified. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP). A CIP is a financial schedule for short- and long-range projects which is updated regularly. Information listed in the CIP often evolves based on funding availability and the project details, including timeline and value, are subject to change. The content management team will continue to pursue additional details as they become available.
