Instead of continuing to patch up North Saanichs patchwork municipal building, the District will explore the cost of replacing most of it.

Senior building inspector John Post says water leaks into the building and behind the stucco have rotted portions of the structure. Doors, window sills and flooring have been replaced in recent years, while supporting beams have been installed in places like exterior staircases to ensure safety.

Its this piecemeal approach to maintaining what is clearly a building in need of repairs or replacement that the District hopes to end, says Mayor Alice Finall.

Weve known for quite a while that this is an issue, she said.

We received some of the details in assessment reports last year but council at the time felt it was more appropriate for the new council to address it.

Those reports are available on the Districts website and at municipal hall.

On Feb. 2, the new council voted to have municipal staff hire a project manager. They will, said Finall, prepare plans to replace the older portions of the structure and pin down what it will cost.

Finall added the District had the building assessed, with recommended repairs needed. That cost, said Chief Administrative Officer Rob Buchan, was $1.3 million.

The Fort Dodge Community School District board Monday approved plans for its Fort Dodge Senior High roof replacement project.

"The project is going to be just over $300,000 at estimated cost at this point, until it goes to bid," Travis Filloon, FDCSD director of buildings and grounds, said.

Bids for the project are due to the district's central administration office by Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. A pre-bid meeting will be held Thursday at 10 a.m., according to consulting architect Terry Allers, of Allers Associates Architects of Fort Dodge.

Board President Stuart Cochrane asked Allers what sort of response the district can expect.

"As far as numbers of people, last time we had about three or four," Allers said. "Hopefully, we'll have that many again."

The project will address three of the senior high's 26 roof sections, Filloon said, specifically the roof sections over the building's math classrooms.

"This puts us close to having addressed all of those roof sections," he said. "I think we'll have four remaining at this point."

He added, "It ensures we've got a sound and trustworthy roof over the heads at the high school, to keep the interior educational process moving in a positive direction."

A rubber-roof system will be installed, Allers said, and the existing roof will be torn down to the deck.

"It's over a metal deck this time, so we won't have the problems with the gypsum deck we've had in the past. It should go well," he said. "We'll also put on new insulation down."
