For review, circulation options #2 and #5 are as follows: Circulation Option #2 -The front entrance is accessed from existing handicap parking with a ramp that leads to the existing building entrance at the middle (Golf Administration) level. Circulation Option #5 -Lowering the front entrance/building facade to enter at the first floor and connecting to new handicap parking spaces at the front of the building. 11 Exterior Circulation Option #2 Pros: •Lower cost than any solution that requires building modifications. Cons: •Slightly more costly than the current ramp option, as it requires the construction of a completely new ramp. •Has a long path of travel from the existing handicap parking spaces and the elevation difference is similar to the existing ramp. Could be considered a laborious path of travel for building patrons. •Does not allow for the creation of handicap parking closer to the entrance.12 Exterior Circulation Option #5 Pros: •Provides the opportunity to create new handicap parking at the front entrance. •With the creation of this new handicap parking adjacent to the entrance location, renders the least path of travel length. Cons: •Most expensive exterior circulation alternative as it requires building modification, Porto- Cochere demolition and parking lot grading to allow patrons to enter at the first floor. 13 Community Center Elevator Update The designer has created a 3D representation of the existing building and virtually constructing both an elevator and LULA within the space constraints. Schematic design has been completed. Schematic design represents approximately a 30% level of a full construction document, and its purpose is to understand how all the constructed elements will ultimately work with one another. This design will also identify constraints and associated solutions, as well as how the cost of the project will be affected. The schematic design package is divided into four options: 1.Conventional elevator and existing entrance (Circulation option #2) 2.Conventional elevator and lowered entrance (Circulation option #5) 3.LULA and existing entrance (Circulation option #2) 4.LULA and lowered entrance (Circulation option #5) From these options, a more focused cost estimate has been compiled. 14 15 Option #1 -Elevator & Existing Entrance Entrance and front of the building remain as is. A new exterior ADA ramp will be constructed to access the existing building entrance. The elevator is located near the entry and has three stops to access all three floor levels. The main stairs are slightly modified. A new floor section is constructed for the upper floor level. The elevator shaft will penetrate the roof. The current construction cost estimate is $1.25M. Option #1 -Elevator & Existing Entrance -Layout 16 Option #1 -Elevator & Existing Entrance -Elevation 17 Of note: The elevator shaft penetrates the roof of the building. Architectural treatment will be required. Roof joists will tie into elevator shaft. 18 Option #2 -Elevator & Lowered Entrance The building entrance and facade will be lowered to the lower floor level, providing direct access. ADA parking will be added to this area for direct access to the building entrance. The elevator is located near the entry and has three stops to access all three floor levels. Existing stairs will be relocated. A new floor section is constructed for the upper floor level. The elevator shaft will penetrate the roof. The current construction cost estimate is $1.75M. Option #2 -Elevator & Existing Entrance -Layout 19 Option #2 -Elevator & Existing Entrance -Elevation 20 Of note: The elevator shaft penetrates the roof of the building. Architectural treatment will be required. Roof joists will tie into elevator shaft. 21 Option #3 -LULA & Existing Entrance Entrance and front of the building remain as is. A new exterior ADA ramp will be constructed to access the existing building entrance. The LULA is located near the entry and has three stops to access all three floor levels. The stairs to the lower level are slightly modified. A new floor section is constructed for the upper floor level. The current construction cost estimate is $750K. Option #3 -LULA & Existing Entrance -Layout 22 Option #3 -LULA & Existing Entrance -Elevation 23 24 Option #4 -LULA & Lowered Entrance The building entrance and facade will be lowered to the lower floor level, providing direct access. ADA parking will be added to this area for direct access to the building entrance. The elevator is located near the entry and has three stops to access all three floor levels. Existing stairs will be relocated. A new floor section is constructed for the upper floor level. The current construction cost estimate is $1.35M. Option #4 -LULA & Lowered Entrance -Layout Option #4 -LULA & Lowered Entrance -Elevation Space Comparison of Elevator vs LULA 27ElevatorLULA 28 Recommendations Staff understands from the last meeting that Council's preference is to install a conventional elevator. Since three of the four alternatives are expected to meet the budget and Council preferred the elevator option, staff recommends that at least the two elevator options be fully designed and bid as alternatives A and B. The reasoning is that for both entrance configurations, the exterior design is not a large component of the design costs. The major portion of the design costs will be associated with the interior architecture/engineering to install an elevator. 29 Schedule Finish construction plans by July Permitting and bidding in July Award and construction starting in August Expect a 6-to-9-month construction period –may be completed by February to April 2024 –dependent on equipment availability 30 Questions?
