Penfield Building Committee – Penfield Pavilion Repair Project
Option 1 – Repair and protect in place
Project scope: Repair/rebuild damaged and undermined footings and structural
floor and framing elements. Rebuild decks ramps and stairs. Repair building
mechanical, electrical plumbing (MEP) infrastructure and interior drywall, interior
trim and finishes all in accordance with the scope of repair work as determined by
the insurance company and included in the May 2014 insurance settlement with the
Town. Damaged foundation footings to remain in place and underpinned (extended
deeper), building to be leveled and structural elements repaired or replaced.
Building interior damage and MEP infrastructure to be repaired if damaged by
original storm event.
Additional scope: Fill in gaps along the existing timber bulkhead, place protective
rip rap stone along the outboard face of the bulkhead below existing grade of the
beach. Cover and protect repaired and underpinned West Wing footings with an 18
inch thick blanket of graded stone, construct a low timber or other type bulkhead or
wall along the north (parking lot) side of the building to contain the proposed stone
blanket. Finished site elevation to remain at +10. Note: Building Department
concerns regarding locker wing (East Wing) floor.
Estimated total project cost: $3,227,045 (1)
Estimating criteria: Access to original project drawings, insurance claim line item
scope of repairs, outline scope of work narrative. Better than conceptual estimate,
however risk of hidden damages, especially MEP and unknown soil conditions.
Estimated project schedule: Design 3 months + Construction 7 months.
PBC evaluation and recommendation: High risk of construction costs exceeding
FEMA 50% repair cost criteria potentially resulting in new pile supported
foundations, raising and repairing building to new “V” Zone elevation resulting
expanded scope and added cost. Risk of re occurrence of storm damage. Concerns
regarding quality of existing soil (sand) below foundation footings and concerns
regarding ability to obtain unqualified engineering sign-off. Low probability of
FEMA funding and loss of State grant. Committee rejected this option.
Notes: (1) Excludes costs to date.
