Proposed design of new four storey city hall at Passi City Iloilo

Abstract

The executive branch of the government is manifested by the local government units (LGUs). Common administrative functions include governance, public services, revenue generation, and intergovernmental relations. For an LGU to function properly it needs a City Hall that is organized and competent in handling transactions, something the current City Hall of Passi lacks. This disarray and congestion of offices results in longer and inefficient transaction time. This project study provides the design for a four-storey. 6293 sq. m . city hall with 36 offices, a waiting area, pantries and conference rooms. Special features include the use of film-coated windows for temperature and UV rays control. The structural design was based on the National Structural Code of the Philippines (NSCP) 2015 while the plumbing, sanitary and electrical designs followed their respective codes and standards. The estimated cost of the project is PhP 129,039,164.59 based on the present cost of materials. The construction time of the structure is approximately 360 working days and shall be funded by the LGU-Passi City. It is recommended to consider other sources of water to meet future demands of the clients for drinking and for other domestic uses.
