SUMMARY
The Meridian Area Seniors have been making a number of capital improvements since they
purchased the original building from the Assembly of God. A combination of donations and careful
budgeting has allowed the seniors to accomplish the following since 1987.
• Expand the dining room area in the early 1990's.
• Replace carpet in the Recreation area and office hallways
• Painting throughout
• Replace utility/ice room floor, including replacing beams under the floor
• Reinforce kitchen floor and replace plumbing
• Replace carpet in dining room and repaint
• Continual repairs to gas furnaces
• Replace two outside AC units in two years time
• Repair sections of sidewalk to ensure safe walking surfaces
• Install new door to outside from boardroom with ramp
• Purchase two additional/adjacent lots for parking area
During the year 2003 the Meridian Area Seniors addressed a fire and safety concern identified by
the Meridian Fire District. This involved removing foam insulation boards from the walls and
ceilings in the main dining area, as well as installing emergency signage and lighting and
repainting the area.
The Meridian Area Seniors, like many senior organizations, have inherited an older facility in
need of maintenance and upgrades that go beyond annual operating budget funding. While they
have been able to fund a variety of these improvements through donations, they realized the need
for additional outside funding would be necessary as they faced at least three major issues they
had not yet been able to address:
• an expanded garage - to house their 2002 bus, as well as their van
• a new roof — one section has three layers of separating shingles that cannot be repaired any
more
• handicapped -accessible restrooms for both men and women
In January 2004 the Meridian Area Senior Citizens, Inc. went through small purchase procedures
to hire a professional architect who would complete a facility inventory so the Seniors knew
about any code -related or major improvement needs; and also to prepare preliminary design and
cost estimates in anticipation of seeking outside funding assistance. Johnson Architects, Inc. was
selected and has been working with the Meridian Area Seniors Building Committee to develop
the following improvements and cost estimates, which have been prioritized, based on need.
Additional heating, cooling, and energy efficiencies would be possible with the replacement of
the older single -pane windows, of which many have broken seals. This improvement will
require further costibenefit comparisons and has not been specifically address in the prioritized
improvements. Each proposed improvement identified by Johnson Architects is presented on the
following pages in order of their priorities for completion. Each improvement has a brief
description, representative photo, line item cost estimate and drawing.
Proposed Improvements
In General Priority Order of Importance
Priority Need (Completed in 2003):
Code/Fire Safety/Facility Upgrades - $8,328
The Meridian Seniors have been trying to fund
facility upgrades during the past year. The Fire
Marshall identified the need to remove wall and
ceiling foam, repaint, and install additional Exit
Lighting in the dining area. The Meridian Seniors
addressed these fire safety issues first with
volunteers and local funds.
Priority Need #1:
Code/ADA - Men's/Women's Restrooms $48,345
The restrooms are small, antiquated, and do not
accommodate wheelchair patrons.
Improvements will create fully accessible
restrooms for both men and women but
extending current restroom area into an existing
storage area used by Central District Health.
Food storage needs will be moved to storage at
the opposite end of the dining area.
Contract amount of $ 93,000 included this
priority
Priority Need #2:
Code/Kitchen — $9,177
The ceiling insulation and fluorescent lighting is
open to the food preparation area through plastic
grid ceiling panels. Temperatures in the kitchen
often exceed 107 degrees and are unbearable
given inadequate ventilation in this area. This
violates health and safety requirements in a
commercial food preparation area. Improvements
will install drywall on the ceiling, recessed and
enclosed lighting, cleanable surface panels, and
install exhaust unit(s) to address the temperature
issues without the expense of a special HVAC
system.
Contract amount of $ 93,000 included this
priority
Priority Need #3:
Code/Safety/ADA
New Infill Entrance/Exit w/Ramp
$8,185
The dining area has two exits now - the east entrance
and a double -door exit on the north side that exits into
a narrow, graveled area between the office wing and
the dining area wing. This exit does not meet UBC
requirements for emergency access and must be
moved to the other side of the facility.
Improvements will create a new; single -door exit
with ADA ramp to the adjacent parking already in
place.
Contract amount of $ 93,000 included this priority
Priority Need #4:
Code/ADA
Existing West Entrance & Ramp — 2"d Street
$9,736
This west side entrance is used to access the
activity room, dining room and gift shop. It
currently has steep stairs and does not meet
IBC/ADA Requirements. Improvements will
create a fully accessible entrance with ADA
ramp. These entrances/exits are immediately
adjacent to handicapped parking areas next to
the facility. ACHD will be replacing the
sidewalk area on this side of the building as part
of their in-kind contribution to this project.
Contract amount of $ 93,000 included this priority
Priority # 5
Replace Leaking Roof.
$30,000 (as public works project)
(Cost estimate, drawing, and bids
follow)
Priority # 6
Interior Ramp modifications
$ 7,400
The existing hallway connecting the dining area to the recreational area no longer meets current
ADA code for rise of ramp, although there is a usable ramp at this time. Handrails are
available, the ramp is usable and the hallway wide enough. The ramp "rise" does not meet
current IBC code for accessibility. Therefore, this was not deemed to be as critical as the
emergency entrance/exit doorway and accessible entrance at 2nds Street, given the lack of
identified funding at this time.
This will be done, in order of priority, with available funding and bid as an "Add Alternate".
Contract amount of $ 93,000 included this priority
Priority # 7
Upgrade Front of Facility & Entrances
$12,800
The Meridian Senior Facility's main
entrances, as well as the nearby exit
from the office/computer wing, both
have ADA ramps in place. The
Meridian Seniors installed the ramp
from the office/computer wing in 1997
although it is never used as an entrance,
and rarely used as an exit. As
accessibility codes have been modified,
these entrances should be upgraded, and
the Meridian Seniors have identified this
as a capital improvement.
Priority #7 is part of the Phase II application
Priority #8
Expanded Bus Garage.
$15,000
Up until late 2003, the Meridian Seniors
were able to store their bus in the old
Meridian Fire Station; although that Fire
Station has been sold and there is no other
local storage to protect this $200,000
investment.
The Meridian Area Senior's garage is too
small and needs to be enlarged to handle
both the van and bus. This existing garage
will accommodate the small 12 -passenger
van only; however, the state awarded us a
new 20 -passenger model that will also transport three wheelchair patrons. The bus was
purchased through an Idaho Transportation Department Public Transit Grant. (Chair -equipped
buses, not passenger vans, are provided through this funding source.)
Vandalism has been a problem with this vehicle parked in an unsecured area next to the existing
garage. Continual exposure to all weather conditions will certainly compromise the lifespan of
this vehicle without adequate storage.
The seniors have successfully raised sufficient local funds to start construction on this
project.
Priority 9
Heating, Cooling, Energy Efficiencies.
Requires further cost/benefit comparisons.
The windows on the entire center need to be
replaced for the efficiency of the heating and
cooling systems. Approximate monthly costs run
the Meridian Seniors $800-$900/month all year and
summer temperatures put a strain on the existing
HVAC units. Many of the windows have broken
seals and/or are single -pane windows. Upgrading
windows throughout the facility will provide
operating costs savings.
Window replacement $6,200
Sound Boards $1,600
New AJC -kitchen $16,000
Total $23,800
This Priority is part of the Phase II Renovation.
