Maybe lose the aerobars if you won't use them on your short commute. I use one of those blade fenders that strap to the seat post- take it in with me so it won't be swiped. 5 second install/removal once you get the hang of it and you don't need it when the weather is good. Yes, tune up, brake pads. If the tires are shot then some less knobbie ones? You'll certainly have the chance to adjust the rig as you go and see what's what with your commute. Happy pedaling!
