The Dispatch/Maryland Coast Dispatch
Page 17
. . Project Close To $2M Budget
FROM PAGE 16 A separate room is included in the first floor to store and dispense radios. A section is included for OCBP dry storage, such as buoys and umbrellas, uniform storage, a laundry room and an office for the employee responsible for dispensing uniforms and equipment, which can be quite the undertaking with over 200 Surf Rescue Technicians (SRT) in the OCBP. The second floor includes a work room, office space, storage and male and female locker rooms, which is an improvement from the current facility that holds a restroom with one sink, one toilet and one shower for the entire OCBP. The largest space on the second floor is a combined 1,100-squarefoot classroom and multipurpose space to be used for training and/or physical activities. A partition wall was added to be able to divide the space if needed. The third floor will serve as the administrative area and will enter into a receptionist area that is joined by the dispatch area. The rendering of the exterior of the headquarters reflects red roofs, white siding with columns and a covered wrap around roof on the second floor. The lines of the building are similar to the Ocean City Life Saving Station Museum. McGean concluded all the user space is a total of 10,000 square
feet that is less than what was originally proposed. However, the building cost is estimated to be higher than what was originally proposed, with the total coming in near $2 million, not leaving much leeway. ‘We have reduced the amount of contingency we are carrying,” McGean said. Ocean City follows a 5-percent building contingency and a 15-percent planning contingency that has been reduced to 10 percent because the advancements already made in the design process, which will leave some wiggle room for additional costs. “For me we have to remember the beach patrol is our number one good will ambassadors. I think they touch more of our tourists than anyone else in town does. They have operated in terrible conditions for years, so I want to see them have a first-class facility and if we have to go a little above that’s OK,” Councilman Brent Ashley said. While he said the building is beautiful, Councilman Joe Mitrecic said the covered porches are driving up the price tag. “Also this building is going to be 98-percent empty nine months a year, so although staff has made great strides in bringing it in where they think it should be space wise I am still concerned it is too big then SEE PAGE 45
