The renovations include the creation of an indoor sports facility including basketball courts, netting to establish spaces for batting cages, soccer courts, ADA-compliant restrooms, office space, meeting room, storage area, and exterior landscaping.
The City desires to hire an Architecture and Engineering Firm to provide the renovation programming, design documents, permitting, and construction administration for the Dowdy Former Armory Renovation project. The Request for Qualifications RFQ-4635-20-DCM for the project was advertised on July 21, 2020.
