7.2 Million Civic Center near Completion

The Fernley Civic Center is nearing completion. The facility is slated to be open to the public Mid May of 07.

For those who want the breakdown:

Basement -- The basement won't be totally empty. The basement will be totally secured and won't be for public access. Initially, the basement will include a computer center (headend), Electrical room, storage for various records, storage for permanent records (including a special vault to be free from environmental & fire issues), storage of any unused office furniture & equipment, and an Emergency Operations Center. The early use of the area will be in a semi-unfinished area.

Expansion -- Based on the original preliminary report dated 8/17/05 (which the final design-build process has modified these numbers a bit) the amounts are as follows:

Remodel existing building -- 7,000 square feet
Mid section of building -- 9,800 s.f.
Legislative/Executive/Administrative/Judicial area, including City Council Chambers -- 9,000 s.f.
Basement - roughly 10,000 s.f..
Total building area top floor (25,800 s.f.) plus basement (10,000) = 35,800 s.f.

After a complete review, refinement, and final approved contract (4/18/06) with United Construction the amount was modified to 39,866 s.f.

The project also includes landscaping and a parking lot addition of 60,000 s.f.
