9 <br />normally located in the `A' building have "doubled up" in `B' building offices, including several <br />offices "on loan" from the Health Department while `A' building renavations are completed, and <br />others have been temporarily relocated to the Southern Human Services Center. A temporary <br />"mini Library" has been established in the modular building on the former Orange Industries <br />building site, with the majority of books having been placed in storage during this phase of the <br />renovations. Housing and Community Development staff have also been stationed in the <br />modular building. <br />As in the `B' building, the scope of work includes replacement of the entire HVAC system, <br />acoustic the ceilings and lights, installation of new data lines, replacement of flooring and <br />painting. <br />As acoustical the ceiling was removed in REWHS A Building, the contractor discovered hidden <br />conditions which requires additional repairs. These conditions include the removal of load <br />bearing support walls, columns and structural members. The majority of these conditions <br />originate from the 1978 renovation project. Additionally there are some fire code/life safety <br />issues that must be addressed. Public Works is working with the inspections department, the <br />fire marshal and the consulting engineer to determine the scope of the repairs and the <br />associated cost. <br />C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\REWHS Update 05-15-03.doc 4 Printed: 05/16/03 <br />
