A Resolution to issue an RFP to select a qualified contractor(s) for the rehabilitation of the Historic City Hall
Staff Summary:
MC Harry and Associates, Inc. was selected by the City Commission to provide professional Architectural and
Engineering services for rehabilitation of the Historic City Hall Building. Phases I and II of the scope to assess existing
conditions, including preparation of base drawings and identification of improvement requirements have been
successfully completed. The final phase of the MC Harry and Associates contract will include final construction
document preparation for the renovation and repair to prevent further building degradation and restoration of the
Administrative Building, including exterior envelope, interior finishes, and improvement or replacement of the
primary mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems.
The RFP will be issued to select qualified contractor(s) for the rehabilitation of the Historic City Hall Building as per
construction documents and specifications.
Financial Impact: The only financial impact at this time will be expenditure of up to $3,000 for advertising this RFP
to ensure the broadest number of potential bidders are made aware of this opportunity. The adopted FY 23 Budget
includes $600,000 (a County General Obligation program grant) for the project's construction. It is anticipated that
the construction phase may cost up to $1.2 million, necessitating a budget amendment for the remainder of the

to begin construction.

contractor to rehabilitate the Historic City Hall Building.
