EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The exterior paint for the 140 N. Isabel Building (Former Police Building) and Civic Center Parking Garage has deteriorated and both facilities now need new paint. The intent of this item is to adopt the project specification and advertise for the 140 N. Isabel Building and Civic Center Parking Garage Stairway Painting Project. The work includes painting the exterior of the 140 N. Isabel building and three steel stairways on the Civic Center parking garage at 650 E. Wilson Ave.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the resolution adopting Specification No. 3966 for the 140 N. Isabell Building and Civic Center Parking Garage Stairway Painting Project and direct the City Clerk to advertise for bids.
ANALYSIS
Repainting commercial buildings is an important component of proper building maintenance. Exterior paint is not performed for solely aesthetic purposes. A fresh coat of paint seals the building and protects it against water intrusion which can cause costly mildew, mold and water damage. It also offers some protection from termites and other pests. Typically, a commercial building exterior is painted approximately every 15-20 years on top of proper annual maintenance.
The 140 N Isabel St. building was constructed in 1960 and served as the Glendale police station and jail for over 40 years. In 2004 police operations were relocated to the new police building across the street. The exterior of the 140 N. Isabel facility has not been 2{{section.number}}e

painted in over 20 years and is showing significant signs of deterioration. Much of the maintenance at this facility has been deferred due to the uncertainty of its future use. To maintain the aesthetic appearance and preserve the asset for any future use, the building exterior needs to be repainted.
The Civic Center Parking Garage is located at 650 E Wilson Ave. and provides parking for all Civic Center employees and the public utilizing Civic Center services. The parking structure was originally built in 1982 and there are three stairways that service the four levels of parking. The stairways have not been painted in over 20-years and are showing significant signs of wear. The new paint will enhance aesthetics and protect the steel stairs and handrails from rust and structural damage.
All work will be completed with the same existing colors and will be coordinated to not affect the facility’s use.
STAKEHOLDERS/OUTREACH
All work will be coordinate to minimize impacts to employees and public use of the facilities.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.

ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Alternative 2: Consider any other alternative not proposed by staff. 3{{section.number}}e
