Ankeny Senior Community Center Project
The actions before the Council include the consideration of the bids and the approval to proceed with the construction of the Ankeny Senior Community Center Project. The construction bids are being presented during this public hearing.
As Council is aware, the City Manager negotiated a financing agreement with Polk County to facilitate the construction of a new shared senior center for the City of Ankeny. In November of 2019, Shive-Hattery was retained to complete the design of the facility. Both Polk County and the City were involved in the design review and plan development of the facility. This public hearing was set by the City Council at the May 18, 2020 regular meeting.
The Senior Community Center will include a dining room, warming kitchen, exam/health room, and activity spaces including a multi-purpose gym for pickle ball, volleyball and basketball, a running track, rooms with exercise equipment, a billiards room, game rooms and craft rooms. The two story building will occupy 30,300 square feet. Substantial site improvements will be constructed with the project, including new parking stalls, on-site detention, walkways, utilities, and storm sewers.
The plans, specifications and bid documents were distributed after the May 18, 2020 Council action to set the bid date. The bid documents include a base bid and three alternates for Council consideration:
Base Bid = Complete building construction with the alternates included.
Add Alternate 1 = Additional parking lot
Add Alternate 2 = Add windows in the gymnasium
Add Alternate 3 = Add covered porch to the front of the building

The City reviewed the bid results with the project's architect, Shive-Hattery. Rochon has reportedly successfully completed several large projects of similar scope. It is recommended that the project be awarded to Rochon Corporation of Urbandale, Iowa with the construction scope established as the base bid plus all three of the add alternate items included.
Pending project approval and award by the City Council, the contractor will be required to start the project as soon as a pre-construction conference can be held. The contractor will have until September 1, 2020 to substantially complete the project and October 1, 2020 to achieve final project completion.
