Serving Seward area residents for 46 years, SeaView owns the office Plaza building at 302 Railway Ave., as well as two residential treatment facilities in Seward, currently employing 45 community members. The Plaza was built in 1906 and had been through several renovations prior to SeaView acquiring the facility in 1998.The Plaza is in need of exterior rehabilitation that includes roof/siding/gutter replacement and increased off-street parking spaces. The elevator has been in service for 20 years and the refurbish will increase reliability and reduce maintenance costs. Funds appropriated or granted to SeaView for its facilities enables the organization to expend its resources on direct patient care and to improve access to substance use and mental health treatment,disability services and domestic violence/sexual assault victim services. SeaView's behavioral health services are expanding in direct response to substance use and mental health needs identified by the community in the Providence Community Health Needs Assessment. SeaView doubled the number of behavioral health clinicians from 4 to 8 in FY19 as a direct response to community need,and further, in collaboration with the Seward Community Health Center and the Seward schools, is now opening clinical offices in each school to provide treatment services in those locations. A new psychiatrist and nursing staff have recently been hired to meet the need for medication assisted treatment (MAT) to support treatment and recovery for individuals with opioid addiction and other substance use disorders,while continuing to provide treatment for general mental health needs and serious mental illness. f This expansion has generated the need to reconfigure, renovate and expand office and parking space. Total project costs: Parking lot expansion(12 additional spaces): $ 54,000 Roof/Siding/Gutters(9000 sq.ft.): $ 438,500 Elevator replacement $ 80,Q00 Office expansion/renovation $1,250,000 Funding Already Secured: $ 0 FY19 State Funding Request $1,822,500 Project Deficit(if funded) $ 0 Christine Sheehan, Executive Director Cc: Lynn HMI, Co-President Mary Huss,Co-President Grace Williams,Secretary/Treasurer Trish Hart, Member Jim Doepken,Member Patti Price, Member Jeanette Nienaber, Member Kris Erchinger, Member Gutters at Seaview Plaza There is 250 linear feet of rusted out metal gutter at the plaza. The project is to dispose of the existing gutter and replace it with seamless aluminum gutter and down spout. Project cost: $3,500.00. ParkingExpansionLot Seaview's need for parking of staff and client vehicles continues to grow. The project consists of an expansion to our parking lot by demolishing an existing interior retaining wall, removing the soil and trees behind it down to parking lot level and paving,thereby providing 12 more parking spots.The project would also include replacing the metal perimeter fence that is badly deteriorated. Project cost: $54,000 Seaview SidingReplacement The exterior of the Seaview Plaza needs a renovation. The existing siding, approximately 18,000 square feet, consists of a mix match, stained and failing stucco, vinyl and cement lap siding. We propose removing all vinyl and lap siding, furring out the stucco with 1x4's for lap siding attachment, installing Tyvek house wrap and factory painted cement lap siding throughout. Project cost: $275,000.00. r Roof Replacement at the Seaview Plaza The existing roofs at the Seaview Plaza have reached well beyond their intended lifespan causing continued leaks and repair bills.The roofing is made up of 9,000 square feet of rusting Pro Panel II metal roofing with loose fasters and 6,000 square feet of black membrane roll roofing with many patches. There are also two obsolete air handlers. The project would be the disposal of existing roofing and the installation of Image II seamless metal roofing on the sloped roofs and new membrane roofing on the flat sections. Also,to include disposal of the two air handlers. Project cost: $160,000.00. Plaza Expansion The need for more clinical space continues to grow along with the needs of the Seward community.The proposed project is a 4,200 square foot expansion that ties into the Plaza's Administration wing on the second floor.This new space would span over existing 1st floor offices. Project cost: $1,250,000.
