Selling price of 5.5 million dollars. <br />If we want to determine the feasibility of purchasing this property staff does have some concerns that <br />would need to be addressed by a qualified consultant. There is concern about the HVAC system meeting <br />today's code, renovation costs to meet our needs, storm water containment due to change of use, and roof <br />condition to mention a few. <br />Dow -Howell -Gilmore, the architectural firm under contract for renovations of the Health Department has <br />quoted a figure of $5,800 to perform the following scope of work: <br />GENERAL <br />1. Analyze the existing County zoning and building codes to determine the compatibility between <br />the present commercial and the proposed governmental uses. <br />2. Investigate, in a non-invasive manner, the exterior elements of the building, i.e. roof and related <br />flashings, wall treatments, fenestration, etc. to determine the existing status of each. <br />3. Investigate the interior spaces and finishes, i.e. floors, major supporting or separating walls, <br />ceilings, etc. to determine the status of each. This portion of the study will be done with the <br />understanding that if the facility is used as governmental office, the vast majority of the existing <br />interior finishes will be removed and replaced with new material so arranged to fit the County's <br />programmed space requirements. <br />STRUCTURAL <br />L Investigate in a non-invasive manor, the major structural components, i.e. columns, walls, and <br />roof structure, to look for any visible signs of distress or deterioration. <br />MECHANICAL <br />1. Review the heating, ventilating and air conditioning system(s) to determine their remaining life <br />expectancy and their potential use I the vent the space is converted into administrative offices. <br />2. Perform a cursory review of the existing fire protection system to determine if the system can <br />be effectively converted to meet the demands of the proposed new use. _ <br />3. Perform a cursory review of the existing domestic water and sanitary drainage systems to <br />determine if both are adequate to meet the demands of the proposed use. <br />ELECTRICAL <br />1. Perform a cursory review of the electrical power and lighting systems to determine the adequacy <br />of these services as they relate to the proposed new use. <br />This firm is not certified to properly identify any asbestos bearing materials, therefore services related to <br />the detection of asbestos materials will not be performed. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Renovation of the structure would need to be made which would hopefully bring the efficiency of space <br />to within the high eighties. Due to the change in HVAC codes since original construction of the building, <br />it is felt the entire system would need to be replaced. Discussions with Jim Howell of Dow -Howell - <br />Gilmore indicate renovation cost (including HVAC) could be $65 - $75 per square foot Estimated cost <br />of furnishings is at $6 per square foot. <br />December 2, 1997 <br />32 <br />® M <br />
