After another round of savings, the BRK house is now heading towards the start of construction.
In 2017 the city council decided to build a new building with a vehicle hall, group rooms and offices.
Four years later, construction is to start on Furtweg in November.
In between there was a change of architect, a new design, a large and now a small round of savings.
Unterschleißheim
- The city's tax revenue collapsed during the pandemic.
A total of 5.25 million euros will be available in the budget for the coming years.
However, construction costs have risen in recent years.
The necessary budget is now 5.7 million euros, which also includes a five percent buffer.
There was great agreement in the property and construction committee: the project should finally be implemented.
There was no discussion.
The increase in costs is to be saved at another budget point: As with the additional costs for the Ballhausforum, Mayor Christoph Böck (SPD) suggested that funds be squeezed from the planned residential and commercial building on the former eating plot.
City council cuts back on the new building
The city council had already decided to cut back on the BRK building in February: the windows are getting a little smaller, the furniture is simpler, the sun protection is reduced and the parquet flooring is partly replaced by carpet tiles. The existing building, which recently suffered water damage, will be demolished and the planned washing bay will be replaced by a portable hand washing system.
The committee wants to keep the groundwater heat pump, even if it is more expensive.
So far, the building from the 1950s, which once belonged to the Isar-Amper-Werke, had been heated with electricity.
Now a more ecological heating variant is to be introduced.
However, the BRK will dispense with the underfloor heating suggested by a specialist planner - again for cost reasons.
An idea from the Stadtwerke also offered savings potential: They will pay for the photovoltaic system on the municipal building and later also collect the electricity income.
Landscape planners don't take savings plans seriously
While many trades continued to cut costs, the landscape planner took the savings dictate less seriously and increased the additional costs by a further 100,000 euros to 380,000 euros. "Why are there so high additional costs?", Mayor Christoph Böck (SPD) wanted to know from the architect. According to the landscape architect, the increase in costs would result from the fact that the windows were made smaller and a larger part of the rear-ventilated aluminum facade would have to be greened, and the fence and entrance gate would also quickly generate higher sums.
Jürgen Radtke (Greens) criticized that the city councils did not have a green plan.
"Hedges, lawns, parking spaces - we cannot judge that." He reminded that natural plants were specified in the development plan for the cultivation.
"There are no more barriers inside." The fact that kiwis climbed the facade is really not advisable for a civil protection building.
In the green areas, the building authority wants to reduce costs together with the landscape architect.
The committee unanimously recommended the city council to reduce the planning to 5.7 million euros.
