anchor Description
This level-of-effort project is needed to maintain the County's building infrastructure. This project funds the wholesale replacement of aged and outdated building envelope systems including the replacement of windows, exterior doors, siding, exterior walls, and weatherproofing. This project provides for a systematic replacement to maintain the building envelope, protect the building integrity, and allow for continued full and efficient use of County buildings.
anchorEstimated Schedule
FY27: 401 Hungerford Drive first-floor storefront; three fire station bay doors
FY28: 401 Hungerford Drive windows; three fire station bay doors
anchorCost Change
Cost increase to accommodate program oversight and the addition of funding in FY31 and FY32 for this ongoing project.
anchor Justification
Window replacements, siding replacements, and exterior door replacements are critical to protect the life of a facility. Windows and doors can eliminate drafts to improve both comfort and energy efficiency. Siding protects the facility by eliminating potential leaks that can lead to damage of other facility components as well as creating health issues such as mold growth.
anchorOther
Building envelope repairs have been neglected for many years. Many facilities still have single- and/or double-pane glass windows and are poorly sealed, leading to energy loss. Many exterior metal doors are rusted and frequently fail to close and latch which creates a safety hazard. Renovations will address leaks around windows and doors and will provide improved energy efficiency.
anchorFiscal Note
FY24 funding switch totaling $1.105 million from G.O. Bonds to Recordation Tax Premium (MCG).
anchorDisclosures
Expenditures will continue indefinitely.
