7 <br /> the interior project since the County was able provide temporary alternative storage <br /> sites such as the Cedar Grove Community Center and rented storage space. <br /> This project would fully remediate the warehouse and then install an air handling <br /> system to manage heat, humidity, and indoor air quality. The project also modifies <br /> the sprinkler system in the warehouse to meet current fire code requirements for high <br /> bay storage. <br /> In order to help balance the overall spending in FY2021-22 to accommodate this new <br /> project, three more discretionary projects were deferred: a shower at the Cedar <br /> Grove Community Center, planning funds to explore expansion options for the Efland <br /> Cheeks Center, and the Historic Courthouse Elevator Modernization which is better <br /> aligned with other work on that facility scheduled in year five. <br /> o Facility Accessibility, Safety and Security Improvements-$368,200 <br /> The FY2021-22 CIP recommends $368,200 to fund accessibility, safety, and security <br /> improvements in County facilities. The largest single project in this category <br /> ($150,000) is the Wheelchair Lift Replacement at Central Recreation. The second <br /> most significant project is the installation of a dry fire suppression system ($100,000) <br /> in the Register of Deeds Office to prevent water damage from a traditional sprinkler <br /> system release in the event of a fire. This project will also be used to install a security <br /> fence around the back parking lot of the Emergency Services building where <br /> emergency response resources are stored and staged and to upgrade fire alarm <br /> systems and security systems at other County facilities. <br /> o Heating, Ventilation, and Cooling (HVAQ Projects-$540,000 <br /> A total of $350,000 is recommended to replace HVAC system at the Whitted Office <br /> and Clinic Complex. The remaining funds would be used to conduct humidity impact <br /> studies at several facilities, replace a small HVAC system in the Eno River Parking Deck <br /> Equipment Room, and to install new major components such as compressors and <br /> motors to extend the useful life of existing HVAC systems. <br /> o Parking Lot Improvements-$30,000 <br /> The Parking Lot Improvements Project is used to repaint lines in existing parking lots <br /> and to fill cracks in the asphalt to extend the life of the parking lot. <br /> o Roofing and FaVade Projects-$98,700 <br /> The goal of the Roofing and Facade project is to repair known points of failure and to <br /> proactively identify measures to protect County facilities from water intrusions. <br /> These replacements and repairs are prioritized based on a Roof Asset Management <br /> Plan which is being updated in FY2020-21. Funding of $55,000 annually is <br /> recommended for an annual inspection and repair program, and planning and design <br /> funds are programmed in FY2021-22 for roof replacements for the Whitted Building <br /> A and the Dickson House which is used as the Hillsborough Visitors Center. <br /> Page 15 <br />
