Project Request:
Request an AE consultant to prepare a pre-design report and design services from design through completion of construction for the WisDOT Eau Claire Sign Shop Renovation project.
PROJECT NUMBER:
Project 12J1S – Eau Claire Sign Shop Renovation
Project Description:
The Eau Claire Sign Shop (16,636 square feet) was built in 1969, and added to in 1987. This renovation project will: repair roof leaks, insulate the roof, and provide a top covering over the existing base; replace the original windows; replace window air conditioning units with a central air conditioning system; provide desk space for traveling staff, and modular work space for other staff; improve lighting, and; add interior doors.
Justification:
The Eau Claire Sign Shop is served by perimeter baseboard heating, and window air conditioners. The windows leak, are not efficient, and need to be replaced. The window air conditions are old and inefficient. The laboratory area of the building needs improved ventilation, which a new central system will improve. The office area is an open space and wiring for equipment needs to be improved. Overall lighting levels are poor. Work space design and furnishing are inadequate. The existing metal roof has deteriorated and has numerous leaks that are patched annually.
