Executive Summary This report summarizes the findings of our Physical Needs Assessments of your City's facilities. The purpose of the Assessments is to evaluate the existing condition of Saint Anthony's facilities and make recommendations for current and future improvements. The Assessments will serve as a guide for an improvement plan and provide estimated costs associated with the improvements. • Scope of the Work This Physical Needs Assessment involves nine recently surveyed individual buildings,the Space Needs Study for the Public Works Department,and the recently built City Hall and SAV 2. • Summary of Findings The facilities included in this report can be fit into four groupings according to their improvement needs. The following is a summary of recommended actions for these four groupings with respect to future capital improvement budgetary planning. Further details of the findings and recommendations are found in Sections III through V of this report: • Liquor Operations Building SAV 2.GAC Plant,and City Hall: • These facilities are the newest buildings within the city. The buildings are functioning relatively well. Aside from any immediate improvement needs,it is recommended that sufficient money be dedicated to sustaining the buildings' useful lives through a normal operations and maintenance budget. • Costs: Costs will vary based on specific needs for each building. • Booster Station,Well Houses,and Water Filtration Plant: • Because of the relative age and condition of these buildings,a more long-term approach to budgetary planning is needed. The need for these facilities is to extend the life expectancy of the buildings for at least another 50 years. Provided the technology or equipment that these buildings house does not significantly change in the future,these buildings will continue to fulfill their purpose with appropriate improvements. • Costs: See Section V for Specific long-term recommendations for each of these buildings. • Fire Station#1 and Public Works: • We recommend new construction for both of these facilities. These facilities are in need of additional,more functional space for the sake of the equipment housed within,ADA accessibility,and safe and healthy working conditions. Major remodeling improvements would not be cost effective due to the relative age and condition of each facility and the costs of regulatory requirement upgrades. • Costs: Fire Station#1: $1.7 million; Public Works: $4.8 to$5.3 million. • Liquor Operations Building SAV 1 and Stonehouse: • Even without assigning a specific use to these buildings,we do not recommend any major remodeling for these facilities.A major remodeling of buildings of this age and condition would likely be very costly due to all the unforseen conditions and regulatory upgrades required to make this a safe and functional facility. We recommend that minimal resources be dedicated to the upkeep of SAV 1 and the Stonehouse. • Costs: Up to$50,000 2
