Since then, BOA <br />designed multiple projects. One project was a new roof structure with operable roof <br />hatch, to change large filter, over existing water pump equipment for weather <br />protection, Construction Cost: $300,000. Another unique project was to provide <br />workplace safety elements (fencing, new lighting, bullet -resistant fabric panels and <br />glazing) at multiple locations at Irvine City Hall and at Operation Support Facility, <br />Construction Cost: $500,000. A project just completed was the ADA Compliance <br />improvements and interior renovations for modernization and accessibility to 4 <br />community centers at; Fine Arts Center, Heritage Park Community Center, Harvard <br />Park Community Center, and Deerfield Park Community Center. Every effort was <br />made to isolate construction areas and to minimize construction cost, and to be <br />architecturally compatible with the existing architecture at each separate community <br />center. The project scope of work at these 4 community centers included renovation <br />work to create accessible restrooms, new indoor ramps and stair handrails, access <br />lift, signage, new doors and door hardware drinking fountains.

This project incorporated many security components and <br />workplace safety features such as, restricted access to the public, and bullet -resistant panels (under the <br />counter) and sliding bullet-proof glazing which allowed staff to manually close themselves off from the public in- <br />case of danger. All these were added to safeguard the front reception counters and allow staff to have visual <br />access to the lobby to view possible threats and maintain personal customer service. New light and dark colors <br />for the new countertops/cabinets create "invitingness" and a bold contemporary style to the new lobby interior <br />design. Existing lights, fire sprinklers, and HVAC ducting retained to save on construction cost. Also, a part of <br />this workplace safety project was installing bullet-proof panels under the public counter at 5 other city <br />departments; including Public Works Dept. (OSF facilities), Community Development Dept., Community Service <br />Dept., Main City Hall Reception, and the City Council Chamber Dais. The added protection allows the staff to <br />"duck and cover" in case of danger. <br />G- <br />
