Project Description:

This is a continuous lifecycle management project to identify and address all required remediation, upgrades, and enhancements for facility access and use matters in County facilities that are currently maintained by BOS. This includes ADA code compliance, asbestos abatement, and other such projects.

 

 

Project Scope:

This Program is within the BOS’s Capital Improvement Plan for projects involving access and safe use of County facilities maintained by BOS. The detailed project scope for FY25 is listed in the table below.

There might be changes in the County’s needs that result in minor operational changes for the project throughout the Fiscal Year, but the overall scope will remain the same, and any additional authorization would go through Commissioners Court approval.

 

Justification:

This Program is a critical element of the County Engineer’s goal to maintain high quality facilities. In particular, the projects in this Program are necessary to provide a welcoming experience for both employees and visitors. County facilities range in age and occupancy and will continue to require constant upkeep. A well-maintained facility increases the overall value of the facility.

HCED continues to experience the effects of previous years’ inflation regarding materials and labor for construction projects. Although inflation for costs of materials and labor increased at the historical average in FY2025, the increase from previous years is expected to remain.

 

Alternatives and Engagement:

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.
