Ankeny Public Services Library Remodel Project
With the pending completion of the new Ankeny Kirkendall Public Library, the next phase of the city's overall facilities plan can commence: The remodeling of the existing Kirkendall library into the new Public Services Building. The scope of the project includes a full remodeling of the interior of the structure, and site improvements including new parking lot, access drive and turn lane. The interior of the building shall be demolished and rebuilt to accommodate our four public service departments. The construction work includes all civil, landscape, architectural, mechanical, electrical and technology systems. The exterior of the building shall be maintained except for the front façade, which shall be reconstructed. A new parking lot will be constructed along with a new turn lane on NW Prairie Ridge Drive. A new geothermal HVAC system and emergency generator will be included.
The bid opening for this project was held on Thursday, November 14, 2019 with the successful low bid being submitted by Edge Commercial Inc. At the November 18, 2019 meeting, the City Council adopted the plans and specifications, reviewed the results of the bid opening, and approved the resolution awarding the project to Edge Commercial.
The final action needed to facilitate advancing this project to the construction phase is the adoption of the resolution approving the contract and bonds, and further authorizing the Mayor to sign the said contract.
Pending adoption by the Council, the contractor will be required to start the project no later than January 6, 2019 pending the completion of the Ankeny Kirkendall Public Library Project so that the current Kirkendall building will be vacated. The contractor will have until October 1, 2020 to substantially complete the project.
