Title
Consideration of and action on entering into an agreement with Studio Red for design services for renovations to the existing Court/Theatre Building.
Body
Summary:
The City has previous contracted with Studio Red to complete a feasibility study for renovations to the existing Court and Theatre Building and potential options for a black box theatre. At this time (June 2026), City Council and City staff have determined the black box portion of the feasibility design study will not be moving forward and will be reconsidered at a future date.
That said, the City would like to pursue moving forward with renovations to the existing building once the new Court building is completed in the fall of 2026.
Next steps in this process would be for the City of Deer Park to contract with Studio Red to complete design and construction documents for the renovations to the existing building. Parks and Recreation staff has received a proposal from Studio Red to complete these services. Proposal totals $197,340 for all proposed services.
Attached to this agenda item is a copy of the proposal from Studio Red, Drafts of AIA contracts, and a supplemental chart of potential additional hourly rates.
Fiscal/Budgetary Impact:
Funds for these services will be budgeted in the Capital Improvements Fund.
Recommended action
Approve entering into an agreement with Studio Red for design services for renovations to the existing Court/Theatre Building for a proposed price of $197,340.
