MI,3SIONERS OF THE CITY OF PADUCAH, ILEINT7CKY, THE GOVERNING t ODY OF SAID APPLICANT, AS FOL•LO:1S: I SECTION 1. That the construction of said public works is essential to and is to the best interests of the applicant, and to the end that such public works may re provided as promptly as practicable it is desirable that action preliminary to the construction thereof be undertaken immediately. SECTION 2. That Stuart Johnston, Mayor of the City of Paducah, is hereby authorized to file in behalf of the applicant an application (in form required by the United States and in conformity with said act) for an advance in the sum of ;;36,624.00 to be made by the United States to the applicant to aid in defraying the planning cost preliminary to the construction of such public works, which shall consist generally of an addition to the existing city owned hospital in Paducah, Kentucky, the same to be a three story rectangular building, of concrete frame, and concrete floor slabs and the roof to be framed of j concrete. The exterior walls to be of brick backed up with clay tile and the interior r partitions to be clay Mile with plaster vi tile finishes 96 as required by the several rooms. Terrazo base and borders for the floors to be used throughout with the field of the floors of asphalt or rubber file. All areas subject to excessive moisture or where maximum sanitation is required to have the floors entirely of torrazo. The exterior windowas to be of metal and exterior doors will be of trooi All interior doors to be of wood in metal frames, the interior trim being of metal The roof to be a twenty year bonded r%:of, applied over an insulated concrete slab. One new elevator to be added. It is anticipated that the existing heating plant can be modified by the addition of either more sections to the present steam boilers or an entirely neer boiler, to accomodate the proposed addition. All required utilities are available at the site. The grounds upon which the addition is to be built are owned by the City of Paducah and are immediately adjacent to permanent surfaced public streets. The proposed construction anticipates the addition of 36 adult beds for hospital use. These to be properly correlated with the existing facilities in the building, and to be complete with nursesT stations, diet kitchels, all necessary plumbing, etc. It is further anticipated that room capacity for an additional 50 beds is to be built, these rooms to be based on semi -private two bed occupancy. These last names rooms to be designed for hospital use but to be used for the present as a lhtrses Home. All required plumbing, for the future installations of the nursesT stations, diet kitchens, etc., to be "roughed in", but the actual equipment for these facilities will not be installed until such time as these rooms are converted into hospital use. This conversion will therefore involve merely the installation of mechanical equipment and the removal of the partition which separates the nurses home from the hos_oital. It is estimated that each bed will require 7,000 cubic feet of con- struction, which includes corridors, baths and lavatories, nursesT stations, diet kitchens, etc., to properly service the various rooms. Based pa recent bids for similar construction in the area concerned, it appears that the cost per cubic foot for that portion of the building to be used as a hospital will approximately be .-1.50 and the cost for that portion of the building to be used as a nurses? Iiome (due to the elimination of mechanical equipment) will be approximately ;?1.10 per cubic foot. These cost estimates tabulate as follows; Hospital beds, 36, estimated 7,000 cubic feet per bed at ;1.50 per cubic foot . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .;:378,000.00 Nurses Home beds, 50, estimated 17,000 cubic foot per bed at ;1.10 per cubic foot ........................... 385,000.00 Total estimated cost of proposed improvement .......... 763,000.00 97 SECTION S.
