The construction budget for the project is $3,800,000 with a contingency of $288,525, the final budget is ongoing and has yet to be fully determined as this has been an extremely fluid project. Initially the project outline was believed to be most sanitary lines and traps that had to be replaced, since that time we have completed extensive testing to verify existing conditions as testing is far less expensive than replacing unnecessary underground pipe. We have also added several storm drainage areas, pumps, manholes, and sewer systems as the OVH (Ohio Veterans Home) requested. PDG has focused on proving the OVH with custom care that is well coordinated around their specific and unique requirements while allowing them to provide the care they require to their patients.

This project requires a unique coordination effort as there are at least three other disciplines currently working on projects at the OVH and displacement of patients is an undesirable result. This requires us to work with the other disciplines and consultants as well as contractors to ensure that when one contract is displacing a series of patients, the others try also to complete work in this area. From a mechanical standpoint, coordination with the OVH staff is also required at a very high level, for instance; PDG had to discuss options and timelines with kitchen and laundry staff to minimize disruption to their services in a 24 hours facility. These types of amenities have no down time, as they serve three meals a day, 365 days a year, so a minor interruption in sanitary service can have a huge impact. Similarly with the laundry staff, operation here functions ever day, all year long, and major portions of their sanitary pipe are being replaced in their main travel path (corridor).

Poggemeyer Design Group performed architectural and engineering services necessary for the renovation of 1,645 square feet of the existing 10,170 square foot adult crisis care facility.

The project entailed renovations necessary to repurpose a portion of the building for youth crisis care. Improvements included new carpet and vinyl flooring, painting of walls, repair of existing plumbing, replacement of a dryer vent, installation of security hardware for controlled access at critical doors, installation of CCTV for monitoring facility activity, and installation of an eight foot fence for outdoor recreation needs. Due to grant funding deadlines, the project was completed on an expedited basis. All design and construction work was completed on time and under the established project budget.

PDG worked with the Wood County Commissioners pursue funding for capital projects through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) “Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG): Local Governments Program”. Our experts conducted the energy analyses for the projects, provided cost estimates, and prepared the funding applications. All of the projects were selected for EECBG grant funding. One of the projects, awarded $220,348, was replacement of the boiler system in the County Courthouse with condensing boilers to maximize fuel efficiency. A connection for domestic hot water and a variable primary pumping system was also be included. The energy savings of the new boiler system is estimated at 1,549 million BTUs in natural gas, and 12,066 kWh in electricity, for an annual cost savings of $9,521. The projected reduction in GHG emission is 91.5 tons per year.

The Village engaged PDG to complete design and construction administration for adaptive reuse of a school building purchased by the Village. The project included new boilers and associated piping, valves, and unit ventilator repairs, a new stairway for egress and mechanical space; gymnasium repair, and new electrical service/distribution and fire alarm upgrade. ADA Improvements were funded by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds and included restrooms, new building entrance, and interior door hardware replacement. Village offices are located on the first floor of the building. Access to the second level was restricted to meet current building codes for unoccupied space and is anticipated for future expansion of Village offices or other compatible uses.

PDG helped the Village obtain a waiver to use CDBG Revolving Loan Funds for the project. Prior to renovation of the former school for village offices, PDG was selected by the Village of

Edgerton to perform a Space Utilization Study and Building Evaluation to determine the feasibility of renovating the existing Town Hall. The study included administrative offices, utility collection, police and fire departments, public meeting space and building support areas. Subsequent to completion of the study and building evaluation, the Village asked PDG to develop preliminary plans for two options: renovation of the existing structure and replacement of the structure on the existing site. Two public meetings were conducted to present the study results. Subsequent to the development of the two options for renovation or replacement, the Town Hall building was destroyed in a wind storm. PDG assisted the Village with the safe demolition of the remaining structure.

The Village relocated offices to a temporary facility during renovation of the school.
