Seismic Upgrade - Public Safety Building

FYI

  

From: Peter Curzon
Subject: Seismic Upgrade - Public Safety Building

As you know we have begun the seismic upgrade project by examining the integrity of the pylons. The condition of the structural support was key to determining anticipated costs. Since they passed, we can move forward with the original upgrade and remodeling plans.

There will be considerable upheaval to both sides of the building and I would expect this project to last through the end of next year. We intend to work with the contractors to minimize disruption but your patience and cooperation will be necessary. There is no getting around it, it will be an inconvenience.

We will be relocating some people to an office trailer (no trailer trash jokes) on the front lawn as the north wall will be demolished  - not to mention the noise and associated construction issues.

Yesterday the bids were examined for the HVAC upgrade (Aaron is the project manager) and that project will overlap some of these projects.

If you have any ideas – remembering that first it has to be related to seismic upgrades and second we only have a limited amount of discretionary funds – that will improve our combined “houses”, please see me. Now is the time to get involved not after it’s completed and it becomes the woulda, coulda, shoulda criticisms.

I will try to keep everyone updated as we move forward however do not hesitate to ask in person or e-mail.
