The high-density glass panel railing was installed in 2012-2013.  Seven glass panels have been vandalized since the opening of the Pavilion. The City Council approved the replacement of the railing in the FY21 CIP for $150,000.  This budget was set based on a cost opinion by the architect.  The project was bid twice.  The first bid was issued on March 9, 2021 with no bids received.  The second bid was issued on April 22, 2021 with one bid received in the amount of $249,500.00.  The decision was made not to move forward with the project given the cost.  The broken panels were replaced with the hope the vandalism would cease.  Unfortunately, since the panels have been replaced two panels have been broken and replaced.  No sooner were the two panels replaced, that one of the replaced panels was broken and needs to be replaced.  At this point instead of continuing to replace panels, it has been decided to move forward with the project given the availability of money from the original Argent Bond.  The project will be funded with the remaining balance in the project of $114,202.09 and Argent Bond funds.

The replacement railing will be a custom steel railing.
