Police Station Maintenance & Compliance

The following systems within the police station require replacement or repair in the coming years to address outdated systems or to come into compliance with current day standards and regulation. To pause the automated gallery hover over the picture.

Accessibility

The Police Station was built prior to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The two-story building lacks an elevator which prohibits wheelchair access to public space on the lower level. The estimated cost for adding an elevator is $217,000.

HVAC System

HVAC equipment is beyond its useful life and the sytem is inefficient compared to modern standards. The estimated cost of this system replacement is $915,000.

Electrical System

Electrical systems are undersized for the needs of the Police Department with many worn components. The estimated cost of this system replacement is $540,000.

Windows

The single pane windows should all be replaced with insulated units to improve energy efficiency. Upgrading to bulletproof glass should be considered with these improvements. The estimated cost for window replacement is $454,000.

Roof Top

The existing roofing system will require replacement in the coming years. The replacement of the skylight, which leaks and is currently covered with plastic, is recommended as part of the project. The estimated cost of this work is $212,000.

Interior Security Doors

Building access relies on outdated security mechanisms and should be upgraded with systems more appropriate for a public safety building.

Overhead Doors

The overhead roll-up doors have mechanical deficiencies and should be replaced with energy efficient units.
