SUBJECT: STUDY SESSION - FACILITY MASTER PLAN
OVERVIEW:
On June 14, 2010 the City Council awarded a professional services agreement
with Griffin Structures to prepare a Building /Facility Condition Assessment. This
Facility Master Plan will assess all of the facilities that the City owns or operates.
Most of the City's facilities are more than 20 years (50+ in some cases). During
that period the building codes have all changed. In addition numerous other laws
have been enacted such as the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). One
purpose of this report is to examine code deficiencies for these facilities and
incorporate that into the future plan for the City. After reviewing both the
condition and code the consultant will prepare a 20 year action plan (with rough
cost estimates) or outlook for the future of the City Facilities.
The consultant team has completed surveys for the City's facilities and is ready
to generate the draft of the report. Prior to doing so, the City has several
decisions that need to be made regarding code compliance. While the City's
facilities were built to the codes that were applicable at the time of construction
there are several choices about how to bring those facilities up to current codes.
It is financially unfeasible to do them all at once. Some need to be done
immediately, while others should be grouped with building renovation projects.
In addition to the Uniform Building Code the City has essential facilities that fall
under the Essential Facility Act. These facilities (City Police Station and Fire
Station 44) have decisions that need to be made. The team of Staff and
Consultants will break these into groupings and present questions with options
for solutions. Detailed information will be presented at the City Council Study
Session.
