City of Orono Orono, MN October 17, 1986 PHASE B - FEASIBILITY DEPORT ON EXPA ING EXISTING FACILITIES This report would cons of two par':s: PHASE B.1 - CODE AND STRUCTURAI, ANALYSIS OF EXISTING BUILDINGS In this part of the project, we would address ourselves to the condition of the existing buildings. Building code compliance uld be our first concern. The major issues would be: 1. Fire exiting. 2. Fire-resistant construction (where required). 3. Alarm systems. 4. Handi-capped accessibility. 5. Energy codr compliance. 6. Ventilation (especially in garage spaces). 7. Detailed requirements for the various occupancies. A structural analysis would also be performed. It would examine the con- dition and designed strength of all major components. Tl? existing build- ings are largely wood and thus are especially vulnerable to problems from age, moisture, etc. It is also not unusual to find existing buildings whose structural systems do not meet current. codes. Deficiencies must be identified early in the design process so that the cost of their remedies can be included in feasibility analyses. Our fee for this phase of the work would be $3,600.00. We would draft diagrammatic as -built drawings as part of this work. (NOTE: Based on a brief field trip to your facilities, we feel certain that they have serious problems with code compliance. These problems seem obvious to us without detailed study. We will be more than happy t- per- form this study. However, you should be aware that many conclusion!, can be drawn witho . 3 detailed analysis.) PHASE B.2 - ADAPTATION ANO RE -USE, This report would take t:he Project Program developed in Phase A and apply it to the existing city 1uildings. The object *s to see what, if any, city buildings could be incorporated into the building program. Our re- port would define how much remodeling of existing buildings and how much new construction would be needed to accommodate the Project Program on this site. We dould include approximate cost estimates based on square - footage costs. Diagrammatic sketches would graphically illustrate report conclusions. Our Dr this phase of the wcrk would he $1,800.00. PHASE - NEW PUBLIC WORKS BUILM.N'G uN ullf POND SITE This report would examine th3 feasibility of building a new Public Works Building on the land the city owns next to the settling pond. City office and police functions would be accommodated PL the current city hall site. Page 2. 8201d
