Renovation of a municipal facility in North Port, Florida. Conceptual plans call for the renovation of a municipal facility.
Construction of North Port City Hall completed in 2005, with design complying to the 2004 Florida Building Code. Winds from Hurricane Ian caused damage to both the roof assembly and windows. The existing roof is original to the facility, is non-compliant to current wind load requirements and has reached the end of its useful life. The windows have since been re-sealed, however, drawings indicate these assemblies are rated to a Cat 2 wind load (2004 FBC). The HMGP project scope of work proposed to provide wind protection to North Port City Hall by installing impact resistant windows and doors and by replacing the roof system to meet current wind speeds in the area. The project shall provide systemic mitigation by protecting the entire building envelope. The City Hall building serves as the City's Emergency Operations Center (EOC) during emergencies and the loss of service of the facility would dramatically reduce the City's ability to respond to emergency events and provide services to the community. These improvements shall strengthen the building envelope and reduce the potential for structural and content damage. Wind protection shall be provided on any other opening such as vents, louvers, and exhaust fans. The project shall conform with the design criteria found in ASCE 7 standards effective at the time of permitting, and all installations shall be in strict compliance with the Florida Building Code or Miami Dade Specifications. All materials shall be certified to meet wind and impact standards. The local municipal building department shall inspect and certify installation according to the manufacturer specifications. Wind protection activities must follow the recommendations from a Hurricane Retrofit Building Assessment conducted by a professional engineer or licensed architect, utilizing the methodology provided in Chapter 3 of FEMA P-804. This methodology determines whether a structure is a good candidate for a wind retrofit and identified the retrofits to be performed on the structure. A copy of the Hurricane Retrofit Building Assessment shall be provided to the Florida Division of Emergency Management within 12 months of the FEMA award date. (May 12,2025). This project shall provide protection against 167 MPH winds for Risk Category IV buildings and structures, or the wind speed protection and impact requirements indicated by the effective Florida Building code at the time permits are issued. Wind protection activities supporting a critical action shall also be protected to a height at or above the 500-year (0.2%) annual change) flood elevation. Wind retrofit projects representing Substantial Improvement in flood hazard areas must comply with the applicable Federal Flood Risk Management Standard (FFRMS). Pursuant to subsection 553.896(2), Florida Statutes, project including the construction of new or retrofitted window or door coverings must confirm to design drawings that are signed, sealed, and inspected by a structural engineer who is registered in this state.
