Project Description:
The funds are being requested to cover the expenses incurred during the construction of the Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU), an inpatient Baker Act receiving facility, and the Administrative Building to meet the requirements of the new building code implemented after hurricane Andrew.
Services Provided/Benefit to State:
A). 65,015.83 for the re-design of the existing covered walkway between the two buildings which did not meet the current ASCE 77 requirements. This was a very labor and cost intensive undertaking, involving special DOT permitting to allow for barricading of the West Flagler sidewalks, in addition to allowing the use of high-reach lifts. B). $1,122.39 for bringing up to code the existing roll-up door at the Administrative Building, which was blocked-up with CMU, not meeting code requirements. This was more cost efficient than replacing the door. C). $5,342.90 for the type of window we were required to use in order to meet both the specialized CSU requirements and the Building Code criteria. D). $29,886.00 for expenses related to the installation of the elevator. When the roof was penetrated the decking was found not to meet current uplift requirements. The existing decking had to be reinforced to meet current codes and the entire roof replaced. E). $12,000.00 for the added cost related to code required changes between storefront doors, regular doors, hardware, tie-downs, strapping and other requirements.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
To provides the required conditions to protect human life, property and equipment during aa natural disaster such as a hurricane. In case of such emergency, our clients can remain in our facility, which is extremely important since the population we served can not evacuate to regular or special shelters.
