HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - May 1, 2002 I-02CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION AGENDA TITLE: Indoor Sports and Activity Complex project review and request for direction MEETING DATE: May 1, 2002 PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council review progress to date on the Indoor Sports and Activity Complex project and provide direction regarding specific design element components. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On February 6, 2002, the City Council approved a professional consulting services contract with ELS Architecture and Urban Design (ELS) and allocated $681,135 for the design of an Indoor Sports and Activity Complex. As a reminder to Council, a project estimate of $7,500,000 was discussed at shirtsleeve sessions last year during consideration of COP financing. Actual costs of the project will depend upon its actual design. Also, staff has attempted to estimate annual operations and maintenance costs but this will also vary depending upon actual design. ELS can conduct a detailed economic analysis upon request and for an additional fee. For our project to date, ELS has provided rough estimates of annual operating subsidies based upon their experiences with other similar facilities. The basic services included in the contract include a scope of services/work plan to be performed in phases. The City must approve proceeding with each phase and may elect to terminate services at the end of each phase. The phases are as follows: • Planning Phase • Schematic Design Phase • Design Development Phase • Construction Documents Phase • Bid and Permit Phase • Construction Phase • Post Construction Phase The City established an ambitious timeline for the construction documents phase and has established a goal for construction documents to be at 90% completion by November 1, 2002. The consulting firm (ELS) has been working for several weeks now and clear direction regarding the elements for the project are needed. Specifically, the schematic design phase will require detailed components identified and clear direction for a preferred site plan. APPROVED: H. Dixo'n Flynn -- City Manager 04/25/02 CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION To date a variety of actions have occurred with regards to the project. Per the contract, ELS has been working with a steering committee on the project. This group has included representatives of several City departments (Parks & Recreation; Public Works; Community Development; the City Manager's Office), representatives of the Lodi Sports Foundation, representatives of the Boosters of Boys and Girls Sports (BOBS), and a representative from the Parks and Recreation Commission. Field trips have been taken and items of consideration have included site location and a wide range of program issues and design ideas. On March 7, 2002, a public workshop was held at the Carnegie Forum to encourage input and ideas for the project. One of the primary issues of discussion has been the question of what the purpose of the facility should be for the community. Gymnasium spaces have been a priority focus along with the need for flexibility and multiple uses. The preferred site plan selected will have an impact upon initial costs to construct and cost recovery potential annually. Our process has seen strong support among the advocates for gymnasium space and multi use rooms for programs and rentals to be included in the design. With these factors in mind our process has focused upon two plans which both occupy just over 30,000 square feet. I have attached information which ELS has prepared which provides some of the estimated costs for two plans. I would like to remind all that these are only estimates and will change depending upon the various design decisions which are made. Attached for your information is a variety of supplemental information in response to questions posed at the Council meeting of April 3, 2002. It includes: • A current overview of gymnasium facilities which are utilized by Parks and Recreation for programs_ Please note that the use of the Lodi Grape Pavilion is restricted to five months out of the year. Also, the National Guard Armory five year lease has now been approved by Council and the use of the full size court it contains will occur in the coming months. Participant numbers for basketball are also listed. (Attachment A) • An excerpt from the request for qualifications advertisement which addressed the design concept intended for the project. (Attachment B) • A listing of program offerings which might be possible with an indoor sports complex facilitbby. (Attachment C) • A listing of possible sites which are under consideration as possible locations to utilize the Breakaway Sports donated surfaces. (Attachment D) APPROVED: H. Dixon Flynn -- City Manager 04/25/02 We intend to have ELS in attendance at the May 1, 2002, City Council meeting to present the project status and answer questions. If the Council is able to provide clear direction regarding which concept it prefers, it will allow schematic work to move forward with one preferred site plan.

Comet/Cardinal teams (7th & Sth grade) receive only 3 hours and 45 minutes of preseason practice time. JBL receives only 30 minutes practice time with slightly more pre -season time inside. The JBL and Comet/Cardinal programs need longer game times and practice time in order to teach the sport. What we are accomplishing is barely adequate. Compared to other sports, basketball falls short. Soccer, baseball and softball have 4 1/2 to 6 hours a week of practice time. Adults must begin play between 8:00p.m. and 9:00p.m. in the evenings. We are not able to run other programs such as Open Gym because we have no time due to lack of facilities. CITY OF LODI ADULT BASKETBALL Winter Basketball League Late Night Basketball League Spring Volleyball League Facilities used (rented or leased) 20 teams 220 participants 131 participants 25 teams 250 participants Lodi Grape Pavilion: basketball Tokay High Gymnasium: volleyball Note: The game times available for adult basketball have negatively impacted the popularity of the program, with games beginning at 8:00 and 9:00 pm. Two-thirds of all adult games begin at 9:00 pm. The adult volleyball league now begins later in the year and has a shorter season due to the limited availability of the high school gym. Late night basketball operates during the limited season available at the Grape Pavilion. The popularity of this program by the participants would be met with additional opportunities at a year-round facility. We know that the Police Department supports this program as "crime - prevention," as it provides a Saturday late night activity for at -risk older teens and younger adults. COUNCIL• - ! The City of Lodi Parks and Recreation Department currently operates indoor gymnasium facilities owned by San Joaquin County through joint use agreements with the County. In 1994, a Park, Recreation and Open Space Plan was developed. From a survey and workshop meetings revealed considerable interest for an indoor recreatio center. The need assessment indicated a seecific need for a gymnasium. The plan spe s out the followingdesign requirements for a successful Indoor Recreation Facility. (1) The facility should provide a wide range of facil' J and acti ' ' of interest to all a e groups. (2) Spaces should, be provided for competitive and active snorts, passive activities, rece tion and general leisure. (3) Multi -use space hould be favored over single purpose spaces. Flexibility is very important. In the fall of 1996, the City of Lodi commissioned a feasibility study for constructing and operating facilities for indoor sports and recreational activities within the community of Lodi. A committee of citizens and City representatives was assembled for the purpose of defining project parameters and to provide leadership, direction and representation during this process. The following goal statement written by the committee expresses the overall mission of facility: To enhance the quality of life for all residents by providing affordable and accessible indoor facilities and sports activities. The center must beflexible to accommodate future growth and trends and designed for cost effective maintenance and operations. The center should provide a friendly, inviting atmosphere that fosters a sense of community. The center must provide a secure environment for participants of all a42g and abilities. to pursue .fitness and recr� eati�on opportunities in the City of Lodi. Beginning In January 2001 public workshops were held with citizens, staff, and the Parks and Recreation Commission which resulted in and indoor sports and activity center facility being identified as a priority for the City. The City is attempting to acquire property located near the current Parks and Recreation offices to create a "campus" effect to an indoor sports complex. The goal of the Indoor Sports and Activity Center design plan is to provide detailed information regarding cost estimates; scale model for the project; concept design; preliminary design; and final design of the project. Construction plans and specifications will be produced from this work. In response to the RFQ advertisement the City received roughly forty four (44) inquiries for information. Thirteen (13) firms submitted statements of qualifications by the required deadline. A review group made up of representatives of the Boosters of Boys and Girls Sports (BOBS), the Lodi Sports Foundation, the Parks and Recreation Commission, the Public Works Department, the Community Development Department, the City Manager's Office, and the Parks and Recreation Department reviewed the submittals and conducted interviews with six (6) firms. Through this process ELS Archtecture and Urban Design was selected as the top ranked firm and staff conducted reference checks. A contract has now been negotiated and is attached for Council consideration for approval. APPROVED: H.
