DISCUSSION:
The City of Fontana has undertaken an expansive and comprehensive revitalization of Downtown Fontana. The specific geographic area to be targeted includes Upland Avenue to the North, Orange Avenue to the South, Mango Ave to the East and Juniper Ave to the West.
A primary component of this revitalization effort will be creating an entertainment district as a draw for consumers to enjoy as they discover the new downtown area. Stage Red is the keystone to the creation of this new entertainment district for the city.
Specifications for the renovation and reconstruction have been developed in direct consultation with Mr. Hagar and his design development team. Notwithstanding the fact that bids have not yet been completed and reviewed, staff is asking for approval of execution of this contract by the City Manager only if the amount contracted is equal to, or less than the current budget of $825,000 for the same scope of services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The cost associated with the approval of this item will not exceed $825,000 and is included in the FY 2023/24 budget. Costs will be funded by Fund 601 - Capital Reinvestment, project # 37300002 - Center Stage Theater Renovation.
