CPAC Cabanas - Engineering and Design Proposal
History
In 2019, a concept plan for a new cabana area within the Centennial Park Aquatic Center (CPAC) was designed by Upland Design, Ltd. with input from staff including the Recreation Department as well as the Parks and Ground Department. The goal was to create a fully accessible, rentable cabana area that would include rentable spaces with built-in comfort amenities such as lounge chairs, tables and electrical outlets. The cabanas would provide a unique location within CPAC for members and daily admission guests to enjoy the facility as well as a new source of revenue via rental fees.
In sum, the cabanas would create:
- An accessible paved route from existing pool deck to the new cabana area;
- Area for 8 rentable cabana shade structures (exact design and number of cabanas TBD, concepts attached) with modular furniture and paving;
- Fencing around the new cabana area at a 4’-0” with an automatic closing latch gate;
- Electrical outlets to each cabana area;
- Adjacent landscape buffer and lawn restoration areas;
- A new revenue source via rental fees (see attached proposal).
The goal is to have construction take place prior to the opening of the 2021 pool season. In order to adhere to that schedule, several steps must take place, including the design, engineering and, permitting for the project. As Upland Design created the cabana concept plans and has worked on similar projects to this in the past, they are well positioned to assist the Village in adhering to this schedule. Due to the complexity of permitting potentially required by the Illinois Department of Health (IDPH) and Metropolitan Water Reclamation District (MWRD), Upland would partner with a team of civil and electrical engineers to complete the full scope of work.
Upland Design’s scope of work would include:
- Site Survey (topographical mapping)
- Design Development
- Construction Documents
- Bidding Assistance
- Permitting ...
