Work could begin later this year on the upgrading of a popular and well-used recreation center on the southeast side of El Paso.
The city and county of El Paso has issued a Request for Proposals for a series of improvements to the Pavo Real Recreation Center, which is located at 9301 Alameda Avenue in a mostly residential part of the city.
The work will include electrical and mechanical system upgrades, as well as putting in a new roof and roof drains.
The center is also expected to see the installation of replacement piping for modern HVAC equipment, and new drinking fountains.
The exterior of the facility, meanwhile, will take in irrigation, planting, and flexible paving work.
The project has an estimated price tag ranging between $1.2 million to just over $1.3 million.
Opened in 1977, the Paco Real Recreation Center was expanded in 1998 to serve area seniors.
The RFP has a submission deadline of July 7.
