Board authorizes RG Architects subconsultant for two gatehouse redesigns; $62,500 booked as reimbursable
Summary
The board authorized Bowman to retain RG Architects as a subconsultant to redesign two gatehouses (facelift, not demolition). Staff discussed zoning, elevation certificates and a 12–18 month design/permitting timeline; the board agreed to book $62,500 as a reimbursable, to be invoiced when financing is issued.
Eric Long presented a fee proposal from RG Architects, P.A. to redesign two gatehouses and emphasized the firm’s familiarity with earlier River Club and Golf Club designs. The board discussed that the project is a renovation rather than demolition, that the main gate requires redesign after multiple hits for low clearance, and that design and permitting could take 12–18 months. The transcript records discussion about booking the $62,500 expenditure as reimbursable to be invoiced once financing is secured and construction begins in 2026.
Mr. Blumenthal moved and Mr. Mountford seconded a motion to authorize Bowman to retain RG as a subconsultant under Bowman terms and to authorize the Chair to execute documents after review by counsel and the District Manager. The motion passed with all in favor. Mr. Long will lead project coordination; Mr. Blumenthal will serve as the Board liaison for communications and monthly updates.
