MOSES LAKE — Bids for the construction of a new Larson Recreation Center, expected to have a price tag of around $10 million, will open Feb. 23, according to a notice from the city of Moses Lake.
The proposed 31,000-square-foot recreation center in the 600 block of Yakima Avenue would add a number of features to the community, including multi-use indoor space that could be used as basketball, volleyball and pickleball courts. It would also add restrooms and changing rooms to accommodate the nearby ice rink, which council members hope will allow local hockey programs to expand.
A pre-bid meeting will be Jan. 12 at the project site to allow bidders to view the site where the work is to occur, said city engineer Richard Law.
