Analysis
In early 2016, City Council approved the selection of FnG Eats as the preferred restaurant to occupy the old Fire Station #1 located at 321 W. Main St. FnG Eats worked with city staff to determine specific needs for retrofitting the vacant fire station into a full-service restaurant.
In discussions with city staff, FnG Eats recommended Gerdes, Henrichson & Associates (GHA) Architecture/Development to design and provide construction documents for the bid process for a General Contractor. GHA was recommended based on the firm’s extensive experience with the unique requirements associated with restaurant development from local, single-unit concepts to national, multi-unit concepts.
GHA submitted proposals for Phase 1 Site/Design Services and for Phase 2 Construction Documentation/Bid Services for the old fire station. City staff reviewed GHA’s proposal and it is comparable to similar architectural proposals received by Economic Development.
Financial Consideration
Funding for the professional services contact with GHA is available in the FY 2015/2016 Capital Lending Reserve Fund (402690). The not to exceed cost is $175,000.
