anchorEstimated Schedule
FY27: Praisner Recreation; Division of Facilities Management (DFM) Headquarters; Strathmore Hall FY28: 1301 Piccard Drive, Health and Human Services (HHS) facility; Potomac Library
anchorCost Change
Annual funding level increase to address increased cost and backlog of projects and the addition of FY31 and FY32 to this ongoing project. FY27 State Aid provided for roof replacement at Strathmore Hall.
anchor Justification
The age of many County buildings creates the need for this project. Factors determining the need for replacement include poor condition, age, long-term utilization, and probability of continued repairs. The project consists of an annual replacement schedule for those roofs which have reached the end of their useful service life. Asbestos abatement is an important component of the roof replacement effort and will be performed when required. The roof replacements covered under this program are prioritized based upon an in-house priority schedule. Information generated in that condition survey will be the basis for future roof replacement projects. The 2024 Report of the Infrastructure Maintenance Task Force identified an annual level-of-effort funding for roof replacement based on an average 20-year life for roof systems.
anchorFiscal Note
In FY27, Department submission request has been decreased by $454,000, and this amount has been transferred from Public Safety System Modernization (P340901). FY27 State Aid of $2,350,000 allocated to roof replacement at Strathmore Hall.
