BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project includes interior building repairs to the Animal Shelter facility at 1345 West Kettleman Lane. The facility was originally constructed in 1956 and later expanded in 1983. The majority of the building consists of concrete masonry unit walls with gypsum board ceilings. The interior walls of the office and workspace areas are gypsum board. Over the past few years, staff has struggled on and off with rodent infestations. The rodent issue is now under control, however, the multiple infestations and subsequent mitigations has resulted in significant odor issues. The majority of the odors are believed to be caused by pest waste and/or remains that cannot be effectively removed without replacing the existing interior wall, ceiling, and ceiling insulation materials. This project will consist of removing and replacing the existing gypsum board walls, ceiling, and ceiling insulation; and interior painting. Removing the insulation and waste should greatly reduce the odor problems in the facility. This project will be phased to allow the facility to remain in use during construction. The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned bid opening date is November 24, 2015. The project estimate is $30,000, including staff time. FISCAL IMPACT: The project will have a minimal savings on ongoing maintenance costs. FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be identified at project award. W- F.
