| Description of Project: | THE VFA REPORT IDENTIFIES DEFICIENCIES IN THE RESTROOMS, WINDOWS, EXTERIOR DOORS AND ENTRY FLOOR AREAS. ; THIS PROJECT WILL REPLACE THE NE, NW, SE, SW DOOR ASSEMBLIES WITH NEW GLASS DOORS WHILE MAKING THE ENTRYWAYS ADA ACCESSIBLE AND MAINTAINING THE ARCHITECTURAL INTEGRITY OF THE EXISTING ENTRIES. ; ADDITIONALLY, THE FIRST/SECOND FLOOR WINDOW ASSEMBLIES ON THE EAST ELEVATION OF THE ARMORY WILL BE REPLACED WITH THERMALLY SEALED, VINYL WRAPPED WINDOWS; THE CURRENT ONES ARE SINGLE PANE AND IN POOR CONDITION. THE WINDOWS WITH A/C UNITS WILL NOT BE REPLACED. ; THE FLOORING IN THE NORTHWEST AND SOUTHWEST ENTRYWAYS WILL BE REMEDIATED AND REPLACED WITH PERMACOLOR QUARTZ FLOOR COATING. ; RESTROOMS EXHIBIT SEVERE SIGNS OF WEAR AND TEAR AND HAVE FIXTURES OPERATING BEYOND THEIR USEFUL LIFE. THROUGHOUT THE BUILDING, ALL PLUMBING FIXTURES BEYOND THEIR USEFUL LIFE WILL BE REPLACED AND RESTROOMS WILL BE PAINTED. THE FOUR PUBLIC RESTROOMS ON THE FIRST FLOOR (ROOMS 105, 127, 142, AND 158) WILL RECEIVE FURTHER RENOVATION: LIGHTING WILL BE ADDED, PARTITIONS AND ACCESSORIES WILL BE REPLACED OR ADDED AS NEEDED, TOILET EXHAUST WILL BE ADDED, BACKFLOW PREVENTION WILL BE ADDED, AND WHERE POSSIBLE, THE RESTROOMS WILL MADE ADA COMPLIANT. ; NEW ADA SINGLE-USER RESTROOMS WILL BE CREATED ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE ARMORY IN EXISTING ACCESSIBLE INTERIOR SPACE (ROOMS 156B,C); THE SEWER LINE WILL BE EXTENDED, WALLS MOVED, DOORWAYS CREATED ONTO THE MAIN CORRIDOR WHILE PRESERVING THE FINISHING AND ACCESS OF THE ADJACENT AREAS. |
