o Roofing and FaVade Projects-$1,142,800 <br /> The goal of the Roofing and Fagade project is to repair known points of failure and to <br /> proactively identify measures to protect County facilities from water intrusions. The <br /> FY2018-19 Capital Budget included $369,800 in roofing and fagade repairs. Of this <br /> amount, $174,800 was repurposed for remediation projects, and a new $41,200 will <br /> be requested to complete urgent roof repairs on the District Attorney's building. <br /> The FY2019-20 project recommends nearly $1.2 million in roofing and fagade <br /> investments. This project will fund a Building and Fagade study ($25,000) and a third <br /> party inspection process ($55,000) as preventative elements. Funding is also <br /> recommended to repair or replace roofing and fagade features at the Motor Pool <br /> Facility ($180,500), Central Recreation ($45,000), Hillsborough Commons ($376,000), <br /> the Justice Facility ($103,000), Orange County Public Transportation ($40,000), and <br /> the Seymour Center ($55,000). The project also funds design services for a large <br /> roofing projects at the Southern Human Services Center ($64,000) as well as a partial <br /> window replacement at the Whitted Building ($111,300). <br /> o Whitted Site Drainage and Storm Water Improvements($575,000) <br /> The Whitted Building is positioned at the bottom of a hill, subjecting the facility to <br /> significant storm water impacts. These impacts have created water intrusion issues <br /> from the exterior of the building. This project recommends site drainage <br /> improvements, facility waterproofing, and grading changes to prevent water from <br /> penetrating the exterior walls. <br /> • Criminal Justice Resource Department - $216,300 <br /> The Criminal Justice Resource Department is currently located in the Justice Center. The <br /> Board of Commissioners has supported the growth of this department to improve outcomes <br /> for residents involved in the criminal justice system as well as those at risk of involvement. <br /> As the department has grown in scope and complexity, additional office space will be <br /> required to meet the needs of additional staff. The FY2019-20 CIP recommends $216,300 <br /> to remodel underutilized office space in the Justice Facility to accommodate current staffing <br /> needs and future growth. <br /> • Facility Accessibility and Security Improvements - $371,000 <br /> The FY2019-20 CIP recommends several improvements to facility access. The two largest <br /> projects in this category would create an accessible sidewalk to River Park from the new bus <br /> stop on Churton Street ($88,000) and repair the steps, sidewalk and curb outside of the <br /> Whitted Building. The project also recommends the installation of Automatic Emergency <br /> Defibrillators at several County facilities. <br /> 9 <br />
