Project Description:

This project will include the replacement of HVAC systems, fire sprinklers, ceiling updates, front office renovations, and parking lot improvements at the Trini Mendenhall Community Center.

Project Scope:

This project plans to upgrade and replace the aging HVAC/fire safety equipment and raise the ceiling at the Trini Mendenhall CC. The HVAC and safety equipment upgrades (including fire alarms, fire sprinklers, and security cameras) are necessary with the recent expansions to the community center, including the addition of office space and will increase the capacity of the HVAC and safety systems. The renovation of the front area of the community center includes painting, electrical work, countertops, and desks. The project will also repave the existing parking area of Trini Mendenhall CC.

Justification:

These improvements are necessary for the expansion of office space and to provide a vibrant, safe, and resilient facility for constituents.

Alternatives and Engagement:

Keeping the facility as is will make the expanded office space inefficient. Not repaving the parking area may cause road safety concerns. The visitors to Trini Mendenhall Community Center will be positively impacted by the upgrades.
