The Construction Project The project scope includes the remodel of the existing space, the small additions for the Daity Operations Center and Restrooms, the new Garage, and related new site work. Existing Building, remodeled 7109 square feet. New Additions for Daily Operation Center, Restroom Expansion, 8� Support, 1,557 sf. The main building (shown in red on the plan diagram) from the point of the entering into the Police secure vestibule, we are reconfiguring the secure glass to improve the efficient use of office space. It allows the open office to move forward and reduce in overall square footage. Within the same space we can provide a separate lunch and break room or additional meeting space, and the officers have their own area now with their file and storage space and 4 common work areas for filling out reports. The print and work area and files are more accessible to staff and officers. The Interview room is made more secure from the office staff by adding a door in the walkway. Most of the offices remain unchanged, but would be helpful to refinish to allow for more small meeting use. The lockers and rest rooms needed to grow. The restrooms were undersized considering that they were shared with staff. Men's lockers, currently split on 2 levels, were integrated into the main locker restroom. A small addition was required to allow this to happen. (Area shown in blue on the plan diagram.) Also, the Sergeants office is shared by 3 people. The small addition allows for the 3�d work space. (Area shown in blue on the plan diagram.) The current Armory and Evidence rooms were inefficient and needed to be reconfigured. These functions work very nicely in the new proposed garage addition. The Evidence room is accessed from the main office close to the garage entry. The Daity Operations/Conference/Multipurpose Room is a necessary daily function, allows for morning roll call, full staff meetings, training and direct outdoor access and use of restrooms without compromise to office security. Generally, the spaces will be repainted, and ceiling tile and lighting matched. Carpet will probably be replaced, but will be evaluated. Entry tile will be replaced with the wall reconfiguration. Lockers will be new, similar in size, but better ventilating. New Garage, 8,991 square feet. The new attached garage (shown on the plan in green) is designed to house16 squad cars. Today there is sensitive equipment in these cars which currently have to be removed daily. Now the equipment can remain in the vehicle. There is comfortable but separate secured access between offices and new garage. The plan also includes space for vehicle maintenance supplies, speed trailer, bike holding area, motorcycles, etc. There will be a wash bay and hand hoses, laundry, enclosed storage, and storage for duty bags by the entry.
