Fishers is poised to name key players in the development of a new City Hall & Arts Center, as well as a Recreation Center.
The Fishers Board of Works and Public Safety is scheduled to vote Tuesday morning on proposals to enter into a “scoping agreement” with local contractor Meyer Najem for design and preconstruction services. This facility is envisioned as a combined City Hall and Arts Center, which is proposed to be constructed as a public-private partnership.
Engineers have determined the current City Hall is sinking and is costing the city a great deal of money just to keep the building maintained, leading to the proposal of demolishing the current structure and replacing it with a combined City Hall and Arts Center.
Hagerman, another local Fishers contractor, has a similar agreement for the proposed Recreation Center, with no location yet determined.
The Meyer Najem contract is budgeted for just over $1.5 million, the Hagerman pact costing more than $1.6 million.
Both contracts are scheduled for a board vote at 9:00am Tuesday, November 30.
The Fishers Board of Works and Public Safety consists of Mayor Scott Fadness and his two appointees, Jeff Lantz & Jason Meyer.
