Justification & Alternatives:
This project is part of an ongoing effort to modernize counties roofs and exterior building envelopes. A backlog of deferred maintenance is being worked through, with priority given to modernization projects to address major leaks and risks to facilities therein. Failure maintain, modernize, and upgrade the County's facilities will result in more expensive emergency repairs, damages within the facilities, as well as the closure of certain areas, non-code compliance, and, most importantly, risks to life/safety.
The Office of the County Engineer (OCE) continues to experience the effects of previous years’ inflation regarding materials and labor for construction projects. The cost of individual materials varied significantly the previous fiscal year due to national and international events; this is expected to continue through the next Fiscal Year.
Not funding this program would lead to an even greater backlog of deferred maintenance to perform later and, in some cases, could create hazards to life and safety. Delay in project timeline may increase costs due to increased deterioration of infrastructure, potential bid increases, and increase in material and labor costs.
