Special Edition – Exterior Kickoff
WHAT’S HAPPENING
On Monday, August 20, 2007, the Central Library begins another phase of renovation Thomco Construction has been awarded a contract to provide ADA accessibility from the parking lot and a new entrance with concrete ramps and walkways. The refurbishment of the exterior will also include a new entrance canopy, exterior painting, landscaping and irrigation upgrades. The upgrade will reflect the original design of the building include colors and plants that complement the original design. This work will take place while ACI Construction is completing the Children’s/window renovation.
How Will The Work Be Done?
The first phases of the exterior renovation construction will be: 1) the abatement of lead based paint in the entrance canopy 2) The removal of the existing canopy structure 3) The building of temporary access to our front entrance from the parking lot via the sidewalk and a tunnel. After the abatement and demolition, most of the work will involve pouring concrete, setting steel beams, replacing irrigation and landscaping. The final work will include reconfiguring the handicapped spaces in the parking lot, painting and signage.
When Will This Work Be Done?
The initial parts of this process require that crews work undisturbed at the main entrance. The abatement, inspection and removal of the lead based paint in the canopy should take about 3 days. For increased safety and minimal public/staff impact, the abatement process will be done at night from 9:15 pm to 5 am. This work is scheduled for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 20 through August 23). The next step is the demolition of the existing canopy. Because this is a large structure to dismantle, the Central Library will be closed to the public on Thursday, August 23. Construction is generally scheduled for weekdays from 6 am to 3:00 pm. This exterior renovation is expected to be completed by November 20.
What’s Next?
A second Tuesday Construction Project Team meeting will be held at 11 a.m. to discuss the weekly work on the exterior with Thomco. This will include a proposed 3 week work schedule. The type of work to be scheduled will determine if the Central Library will need to adjust hours. That work will be coordinated with the completion of the Children’s Room at a 1 pm weekly meeting. A Hard Hat Gazette or email alert will be sent to Central Staff with updated information each week.
