Title
Scope of Services Review - East Field House, Senior Activity Center and Family Play Destination Feasibility Study
History
The Village is seeking proposals from qualified professional consulting firms to conduct a comprehensive feasibility study to evaluate the viability, design concepts, operational sustainability and financial feasibility of converting the former Riviera Country Club into a community-oriented indoor field house, senior citizen activity center and family play destination.
The facility is envisioned as a year-round, multi-generational indoor field house venue that supports athletics, senior fitness, active aging, social and educational recreation, while complementing existing Village parks, facilities, programs and private offerings.
The feasibility study shall evaluate the proposed field house in the context of existing assets, ensuring programming, turf, senior fitness, and family offerings complement or enhance-not duplicate-existing services. A robust community engagement process is essential to ensure the study reflects community needs, values, and priorities, builds public support, and informs facility programming, design, and financial planning.
Project Objectives
The primary objectives of the feasibility study include:
• Assessing market demand and community need through stakeholder engagement with residents, user groups, neighbors, schools, sports organizations, senior groups, and other key stakeholders
• Evaluating the physical and structural suitability of the existing multi-story building for adaptive reuse versus demolition and replacement
• Assessing environmental conditions and potential hazards within the existing building (e.g., asbestos, lead paint, mold), including associated remediation costs and schedule impacts
• Identifying optimal space programming and adjacencies within a constrained footprint
• Evaluating the feasibility and optimal configuration of a multi-purpose indoor turf field, including recommended field dimensions (target ~200 feet by 100 feet or larger where feasible) and minimum clear ceiling heights (40 feet or greater), and implications for baseball/softball, soccer, football, and general athletic programming
• Evaluating programming and space allocation for seniors, including Silver Sneakers and similar health plan-based fitness programs
• Incorporating family-oriented amenities such as children’s museum features, indoor playground, or a hybrid of both
• Evaluating the inclusion of space for cheer, tumbling, wrestling, speed and agility training
• Ensuring all proposed programming complements and/or enhances existing Village facilities.
• Estimating renovation, demolition (if applicable), and new construction costs
• Analyzing operational models, staffing, scheduling capacity, revenue potential, long-term financial sustainability, and anticipated subsidy requirements
• Recommending pricing strategies and membership/pass models based on comparable facilities, community input, and integration with existing Village offerings
• Providing a clear recommendation regarding project viability and next step
