The Williston Park Board held a Special Meeting recently to approve the Guaranteed Maximum Price for the Williston Area Recreation Center.
Groundbreaking for the new 224,000-square-foot Williston Area Recreation Center will be Monday, Oct. 8 at 4 p.m.
JE Dunn & JLG Architects presented the base bid for the Construction, Soft and miscellaneous costs totaling $70,288,412. Some of the soft costs will be taken out of the project and paid through the operating fund of the park district in an effort to keep as much of the pool and other features.
The Park Board approved adding the following alternates: the 50 meter pool at a cost of $1,920,070, the pool drain tile system for the instructional pool and leisure pools at a cost of $77,594.Very, very exciting.
