Document Description
The Eureka City Hall building, constructed in 1959 and structurally
retrofitted in 1995, contains several original elements that have reached the end of their service life and require modernization. The project includes removing and replacing the existing exterior curtain wall system with a new screw spline unitized preassembled system; upgrading the HVAC system on the second and third floors with heating and ventilation; installing a new four-stop machine room-less elevator; and replacing the acoustic ceiling tiles in corridors, open offices, and common areas. The project also includes evaluating the condition of the existing T-bar structure; retaining the original hard lid ceilings in restrooms, storage, and utility areas with necessary patching; repairing the failing exterior tile cladding around window sills and jambs; and selectively removing and replacing sections of the concrete walkway around the building with minor regrading and the installation of new curbs in certain areas.
The project will comply the State Building Code and implement Best Management Practices (BMPs) during construction to minimize impacts to neighboring residences. The BMPs will include, but are not limited to, preparing an erosion and sediment control plan, managing hazardous waste appropriately, and properly managing staging areas on City property to minimize disturbances to adjacent properties.
