NORTH PALM BEACH COUNTRY CLUB CLUBHOUSE PROJECT UPDATE
Architects Sean Sulchu and Bob Braido of Peacock + Lewis Architects and Planners, LLC distributed
copies of the revisions to the floor plans and site plan for the new clubhouse building.
Using the overall plans for the first and second floors, as presented at the February 23, 2017
Workshop Session, Mr. Sukhu reviewed the areas that were removed in the lower level (first floor) and
upper level (second floor). Mr. Sukhu presented the new lower level and upper level floor plans.
Mr. Sukhu advised that these changes reduced the first floor /lower level square footage by 1,670
and the second floor /main level by 535, for a total reduction in square footage of 2,539.
Regarding the pool deck structures, Mr. Sukhu noted the overall square footage of 2,824 for the
pool structures includes a 400 square foot storage building. Mr. Sukhu advised this building may
be relocated or storage reallocated into another pool structure, which would lower the total
square footage for the pool deck structures. It was noted that the pool restrooms would be
ventilated instead of air conditioned.
Mr. Braido reviewed the current schedule with regard to temporary facilities, demolition, and
construction. Mr. Braido estimated the drawings for the temporary facilities would be completed
within two weeks, at which time the plans would be provided to the building department for
permit review. Mr. Braido anticipated the temporary facilities would be onsite in Mid -April and
utility connections should be completed by the end of May, with the staff transitioning into the
temporary facilities at the beginning of June. Mr. Braido advised that construction drawings
should be completed by July 1st, followed by the permitting, bidding, and bid review process,
which could take three months. Because construction is not scheduled to begin until October,
Mr. Braido stated the existing building could be demolished one to two months prior to
commencing construction.

Discussion tools place regarding demolition and when a cost estimate for the clubhouse would be
available. It was projected that a partial set of drawings would be ready by May for the Village's
construction consultant to review, with a preliminary cost estimate available in mid -June. It was
suggested that the clubhouse continue to be used through the July 4th celebration, if possible.
Discussion ensued on whether to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a demolition contractor
or include demolition in the construction RFP. Concerning the demolition component of the project,
it was suggested that staff provide specific alternatives, including costs, for Council's consideration.
ADJOURNMENT
