Summary:
One of the projects to be carried out under the County’s Annual Action Plan for Fiscal Year 2018 (FY17/18) was the Friends of Ridgecrest Facility Rehabilitation Project. This facility provides services to senior citizens and conducts programs, events and activities that support the community.
An initial Agreement, SPA CD17FOR, was executed on January 12, 2018, to provide CDBG funding in the amount of $25,000.00. This Agreement provided funding for facility rehabilitation including asbestos and mold assessment and abatement, roof repair / replacement, including fascia and soffit, replacement of perimeter fencing, signage and boundary surveys needed for the rehabilitation of the Tasker Beal, Jr. Service Center.
Prior to initiating the construction work at the Center, it was determined that the plumbing fixtures and the HVAC system needed to be replaced, the lighting needed to be upgraded and signage at the facility needed to be removed. The additional scope of work increased the project cost by $73,708.00.
The original Agreement expired on September 30, 2018.
The subject agreement provides additional time and funding to complete the full scope of the rehabilitation project and includes a land use restriction that is now required as a result of the funding increase. The Agreement is effective from September 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019, with the Land Use Restriction expiring on September 30, 2027.
