Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to enter into a construction contract with 2K General Company for the 910 Dublin Road Windows & EIFS Improvements Project; in an amount up to $2,292,258.00; for Division of Water Contract Number 2093.
This project consists of the removal and replacement of existing windows and existing skylight, as well as restoration of the Exterior Insulation Finishing System (EIFS), at the Dana G. “Buck” Rinehart Public Utilities Complex located at 910 Dublin Road, Columbus, Ohio.
Planning Area: “West Olentangy”
2. ECONOMIC IMPACT/ADVANTAGES; COMMUNITY OUTREACH; PROJECT DEVELOPMENT; ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS/ADVANTAGES OF PROJECT: The Division of Water is responsible for providing safe working environments. The building's exterior insulation / EIFS system and windows are in need of repair/replacement. Portions of the insulation system are damaged and pulling away from the substructure, and is prone to water damage in some areas. Windows are past their useful life with some inoperable and others no longer watertight. Improvements to the EIFS and windows are needed to prevent more costly damage to building shell and interior spaces. Installation of new windows with low-E coated insulated glass and replacement of the skylight with insulated light-transmitting panels will provide better insulating qualities and reduce sunny day heat gain resulting in reduced heating and air conditioning costs.
