Tinian Mayor Joey Patrick San Nicolas met with Capital Improvement Projects executives and signed off on a contract funding for renovation of the Department of Public Safety and Tinian Health Center buildings.<\/p>\n
San Nicolas signed a $318,785 contract for the DPS renovation and a $75,000 contract for THC.<\/p>\n
He said renovation work will begin as soon as the contracts are signed by the Office of Procurement and Supply, Department of Finance, and Commonwealth Development Authority.<\/p>\n
The renovation for DPS includes internal and externals renovations to its headquarters in San Jose, Tinian. Funds for that is through bond interest money from Public Law 17-8, which allows the Tinian Legislative Delegation to tap into the local license fees collected from pachinko slot machines and poker fees in the second senatorial district (Tinian).<\/p>\n
\u201cDPS is in need of renovation because of its existing structure that is already getting old,\u201d San Nicolas said in an earlier interview.<\/p>\n
For the Tinian Health Center, the contractor has to fix the canopy of the director\u2019s office that is located at the former Public Health Clinic entrance at THC.<\/p>\n
Architectural and engineering analysis of THC has been completed. This analysis examined the current layout of the health center and changes that should be made to accommodate long-term needs.<\/p>\n
Immediate repairs to the roofing system, American\u2019s with Disabilities Act compliance in at least one bathroom, and other improvements will be addressed. Its construction is currently ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
