This level of effort project is intended to provide a structured process to ensure that all recreation center facilities are refurbished through repair or replacement of facility components. A facility assessment will be conducted to evaluate the level of repair or replacement for each facility and create a program of requirements with an associated construction cost estimate.

The Department of Recreation will identify the facilities and scope of the work through a facility assessment prior to the design and construction process. Projects will be prioritized based on facility assessment results and programmatic needs. The tentative refurbishment schedule is: FY25: Eunice Kennedy/Sargent Shriver Aquatic Center, FY26: Bauer Drive Community Recreation Center, FY27: Margaret Schweinhaut Senior Center, FY28: Upper County Community Recreation Center, FY29: Clara Barton Neighborhood Recreation Center, FY30: Holiday Park Senior Center.

Cost estimates updated due to schedule changes and added funding for facilities assessments in FY26.

Several Recreation facilities have not been updated for a long time. This project will ensure that: 1) the County's capital investments are protected by maintaining the Department of Recreation's building infrastructure, 2) all new and required construction codes are addressed and implemented, 3) critical equipment and building systems are overhauled or replaced prior to failure, and 4) reorganization of internal space is completed to ensure that space is fully utilized based on the community's needs for programs and services.

Notice identifying the specific recreation projects that will be refurbished must be provided to the Council at least 60 days before any funding is obligated or spent. The notice to Council must include the scope of work, cost estimate, and expenditure schedule for planning, design, and supervision, construction and other costs by fiscal year.

FY25 supplemental in G.O. Bonds for the amount of $2,043,000 to reflect cost increase for Damascus Senior Center construction.

Expenditures will continue indefinitely.
