Attached are pictures of the island as it is today, and of the final design of the pavilion as it will appear on the island. The projected cost of the pavilion, including installation, is $531,920. This new, permanent pavilion will replace the current, temporary tent on the northern end of the island. Secondly, the original plans for the construction of Century Center included a second pedestrian bridge connecting the island to the building. This bridge would connect to the island in the area of the new pavilion, run above the rapids, and connect to the building in the vicinity of the north east corner of the Grand Hall. The attached proposal from ADG to study design concepts, construction documentation, bidding, and construction oversight for this bridge is in the amount of $22,000. Thirdly is a contract addendum in the amount of $5,500. This addendum is for the design of removable wind screens, located at the corners of the new pavilion, to help block winds if needed, and, because of a drainage issue on the island's eastern wall, a combination surface and sub -grade storm water collection and drainage system. This drainage system is needed to alleviate the drainage of storm water that currently leaks out the wall and is causing settlement of the pavement above, and is projected to cost no more than $30,000. Staff requests the following approvals: • Construction of a new island pavilion in a not -to- exceed amount of $535,000 • Proposal to design a second pedestrian bridge in the amount of $22,000 • Design of wind screen / drainage system contract addendum in the amount of $5,500 • Construction of a new drainage system in a not -to exceed amount of $30,000.
