POSILLIPO CENTER PRE-DESIGN STUDY RESOLUTION ANTHONY J. POSILLIPO CENTER PRE-DESIGN STUDY On Motion made by Trustee Daly, seconded by Trustee Ravich, with a unanimous vote of the Board, the following Resolution was adopted: RESOLVED, that payment in an amount not to exceed $6,000 be hereby authorized from the Recreation Trust and Agency Account to Albert C. Moore, Jr. , A.I.A. for architectural fees associated with the pre-design study for the renovation of the Anthony J. Posillipo Community Center. Administrator Russo pointed out that Mr. Moore met with three members of the Village Board to discuss his proposal for a pre-design study of Posillipo Center. Everyone was well satisfied with the process Mr. Moore would follow in researching this site. Two points that were discussed in detail were that a complete analysis of the renovation, as opposed to replacement of the existing building, was very much necessary. Administrator Russo explained that we are under the WICKS law in New York State which requires us to bid out every aspect of this project separately, and it is a law that there is a major push to repeal. It is a very burdensome law in municipalities in terms of construction projects. We have to prepare, let and supervise separate contracts on everything; electrical, plumbing, general construction, etc. It is an expense to municipalities and it is cumbersome and difficult, but we are under the WICKS Law for any project over $50,000.00. Mayor Cresenzi mentioned that the next item on the agenda in relation to this project is applying for a grant from the Westchester Community Development Block Grant Program. The concept of whether the existing structure can be renovated or whether a new structure is needed will be discussed. We must also determine if this renovation can be done in phases or completed all at once. Mayor Cresenzi stated that answers to the above will give us the ability to deal with this as a long range project, either as a massive renovation or a phased renovation. - 2 - January 8, 1991 0017 92 Trustee Filipowski stated that he felt $6,000.00 was a large sum of money when we are not asking for total plans. He inquired as to whether or not there was an hourly rate for Mr. Moore's service. Administrator Russo replied that there was an hourly rate and that $6,000.00 was the maximum upset rate. It should take him approximately two weeks full time. He will be spending time in the Village to satisfy the needs of his proposal. Mayor Cresenzi stated that Lori Ann DeMarco, Director of the Rye Brook Senior Center, has completed a needs assessment that they would like to see. This project would not only be used for the Seniors, but also for general Recreation as well. The architect, Albert Moore, will be meeting with Lori DeMarco, various seniors, Superintendent of Recreation & Parks, Tom Hroncich and members of the Recreation Commission to discuss what renovations are needed and acceptable. There must be a design scheme which must be evaluated to see if this will meet the needs for both the seniors program and the recreation program. They must also evaluate a phased renovation or a complete replacement of the facility. This procedure is very time consuming. 2.
