Details: The contractor provided recommendations for repairs and improvements to the Depot. The proposed work includes constructing a deck approximately 8 feet wide around the perimeter of the building, with a ramp on the back side for accessibility. The contractor recommends sealing the floor from underneath with plywood while preserving the original flooring, replacing only boards that are rotten or missing. Interior gaps between the walls should be caulked, and any missing planks should be replaced. The original sliding doors should be kept, with the sliding mechanisms repaired or replaced as needed. All doors should be sealed and have door sweeps installed, including the four sliding doors and two standard doors. Exterior siding gaps should be filled with silicone or caulk until a decision is made regarding repainting the building, with exterior planks replaced only if they are missing or rotten.
Recommended Action: Motion to authorize Parks and Recreation Director Jessica St. Martin to obtain a detailed quote for the proposed improvements and repairs to the Depot. The quote shall include the construction and installation of an 8-foot-wide deck around the perimeter of the building, including a ramp on the back side; sealing the floor from underneath with plywood while preserving the original flooring and replacing any rotten or missing boards; caulking gaps between interior walls and replacing missing interior planks; retaining the original four (4) sliding doors and repairing or replacing the sliding mechanisms as needed, sealing the doors, and installing door sweeps on all four (4) sliding doors and two (2) standard doors; and filling exterior siding gaps with silicone or caulk, with exterior siding planks replaced only where missing or rotten.
