INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA MEMORANDUM DEPARTMENTAL TO: Jason Brown, County Administrator FROM: Richard B. Szpyrka, P.E., Public Works Director SUBJECT: Roseland Community Center — Request for BCC Direction DATE: January 23, 2019 DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS In November 2015, Public Works Facilities Management was directed to address the differential settling of the Roseland Community Center building. MBV Engineering was employed to evaluate the building differential settlement and provide engineered drawings to address the issue. MVB provided engineered drawings to the County and Summit Construction of Vero Beach, LLC provided a quote of $30,000 to the County on November 2, 2016. The project began on February 6, 2017 and was anticipated to be complete on March 6, 2017. In preparation for raising the building, the excavation of the support piers and structural members of the building was required. At this point, substantial termite damage to the structural members of the building was uncovered. Additionally, substantial termite damage to the sub -flooring of the building was discovered as well as termite damage to the southern portion of the building that was buried. At this point, the contractor was directed to cease construction. On June 13th 2017 the Board unanimously voted to move forward with MBV - Work Order #7, in the amount of $8,300.00, to provide a complete building analysis for the Roseland Community Center. On October 17, 2017 the Board discussed the Final Structural Report from MBV, including the estimated cost of $275,000 for rehabilitation of the building. The Board directed staff to obtain a Work Order from MBV for design plans to rehabilitate the building and for staff to present this information to the Board. Staff obtained a Work Order from MBV in the amount of $45,700 for full design plans, permitting, bidding services, and construction administration. This Work Order was not presented to the Board in December 2017 as staff was coordinating the submittal of a grant application to the Department of Historical Resources (DHR) to fund 50% of the design and construction for the project. The project is currently ranked 53rd out of 54 projects submitted for Special Category Historic Preservation Grants for FY 2019-2020. The availability of funding for grant program will not be known until March or April of 2019. As the building is not currently in habitable condition, staff is presenting the Board with a Work Order from MBV in the amount of $19,750 for design and permitting to complete the leveling of the building, repair all termite damage to the floors, replace the front door, remove and replace the existing concrete sidewalk to comply with ADA requirements, provide handicap parking, and address drainage issues that have contributed to the settlement of the building. 73 C:\Users\legistar\AppData\Local\Temp\BCL Tcchnologies\easyPDF 8\@BCL@080E01B9\@BCL@080E01B9.doc
