This project provides for the design and construction of an improved building facade which includes window replacement and a new building exterior for Holiday Park Senior Center. The purpose of this project is to improve life expectancy of the facility and to support the County's 2035 goal of zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions for the operation of the County facility. Holiday Park is centrally located in Montgomery County and serves as a resource facility and wellness support for many diverse and varied interest groups. Seniors that use the Recreation sponsored center find social and life enrichment activities open to all. Holiday Park is Montgomery County's largest senior center, serving more than 500 adults over the age of 55 daily. There are numerous drop-in and pre-registration programs offered, including but not limited to health and wellness lectures, travelogues, financial management counseling, and musical performances.

Design work began in 2023 with construction scheduled in summer 2025 for a period of 18 months. This project will also coordinate the schedule for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements and the Recreation Facility Refurbishment-Centers (P722507) project.

Project cost increases reflect revised cost estimates and market escalation funded in part by new State Aid.

The Holiday Park Senior Center Facility was built in 1960 and has original windows and facade. Windows are old and require replacement. The facade needs improvement to protect the building structure and reduce energy loss. Currently installed photovoltaic (PV) panels provides roughly 75% of the energy for the facility. With building facade improvements and additional PV panel installation under the current Energy Saving program, the facility will meet the County's 2035 goal of zero GHG emissions for the facility operation.

FY26 reflects the addition of State Aid.

The County Executive asserts that this project conforms to the requirement of relevant local plans, as required by the Maryland Economic Growth, Resource Protection and Planning Act.
