ITEM SUMMARY:
The City owns the four-story masonry building built in approximately 1880 located at 200 Main St. The
primary entrance to the ground floor is from Main St while a secondary entrance to the lower level is from
Turner Ct. This building is currently vacant. It was previously used as a mixed use building with
commercial on the lower level and ground floor, while the second and third stories of the building were
used as residential.
In 2015, the City hired Matocha Associates, an architectural firm, alongside Tassone Architects, masonry
architectural firm and Structural Resources, Inc. (SRI), a structural engineering firm to evaluate the
deteriorating conditions of the building. These evaluations determined multiple issues with the building
including, but not limited to, deteriorating masonry fagade, structural building settlement, non-compliance
with current American Disability Act (ADA) requirements, fire escape related non-compliance, leaking
pipes, asbestos, roof damages, etc. All of these concerns were expected due to the age of the building.
Since then, the City has removed all the piping in the building as well as all of the asbestos. This project
has sat idle for the last couple of years.
The City wishes to revive the project again by re-engaging the firms that have worked on it in the past.
Matocha Associates, under its current Phase | proposal will be responsible for preparing preliminary
architectural design options for each story, preliminary mechanical, electrical and plumbing drawings for
each of those option as well as opinion of probable cost. The conceptual options will include ADA
compliance and multiple configurations for each story for the City to review. Once the City has selected
the option with which it would like to proceed, Matocha will prepare final construction drawings and bid
specifications under an amendment to this Agreement. This multi-phase approach will allow the City the
flexibility to select the design option with definitive design scope prior to engaging into final construction
drawings.
The above referenced architectural design services will be paid for using Downtown TIF District Funds
(09-34-54-4801), in which $250,000 has been budgeted. The design will move forward once approved by
the City Council and is scheduled to take 12-16 weeks for completion.
