COMMUNITY CENTER PLANNING AND DESIGN

The City of Leadville is seeking professional consulting services to guide the next phase of planning, feasibility, and design for the renovation of an existing school building into a community center. The selected contractor will work closely with the City's established Project Manager to develop plans that ensure the building is safe, functional, and economically sustainable. The project includes a budget of up to $100,000 and requires the contractor to provide a detailed cost estimate, conceptual and architectural renderings, and a final written report. The contractor should have experience working in the mountain region, with small municipal governments, and on similar projects that serve community indoor recreation needs. Key priorities for the project include building feasibility and cost study, operational models and revenue options, and funding opportunities assessment. Some of the key points to be addressed in the proposal include: • Building feasibility and cost study, including existing conditions assessment, site survey, and cost estimates for renovation • Operational models and revenue options, including development of multiple operational models and analysis of revenue generation strategies • Funding opportunities assessment, including identification of likely funding sources and provision of a prioritized list of state, federal, and philanthropic funding opportunities • Stakeholder engagement support, including collaboration with the existing Project Manager to incorporate community feedback into planning • Deliverables, including a final written report, conceptual and architectural renderings, and an executive summary suitable for presentation to City Council and community members
