RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Capital Improvement Committee support adding the 1200 Aguajito Rd Seismic Assessment, Project No. 8584, to the approved FY 2017-18 Fund 401 - Facilities Maintenance Project list in the amount of $125,000 and reducing the Project Improvements To Be Determined (TBD) line item by $125,000.

In an effort to determine seismic stability and better understand the potential costs for retrofit, the County proposes to commission a more detailed assessment with cost estimating and prioritization of retrofits. The County's assessment will evaluate all the major structures at the Monterey Courthouse facility, identified as Monterey Courthouse, Monterey Courthouse Annex and the detached Parking Structure, totaling approximately 116,000 square feet.
The approved FY 2017-18 Fund 401 - Facilities Maintenance Project list includes a line item for Project Improvement To Be Determined (TBD) in the amount of $1,575,096.
