Title
Amendment to the 2017 Capital Improvement Program for Courthouse Lobby gun lockers.
Body
Recommended Action: Approve the amendment to the 2017 Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Facilities is submitting a CIP Amendment for additional funding for the Courthouse Lobby Gun Lockers project.
Bids were received on the Lobby Gun Locker project on January 31, 2017. The low bid received on this project of $63,492.00 exceeds the remaining budget amount by $4,574.00. The original project budget was based on an A/E construction estimate of $52,632.00. However, this construction estimate was revised to $62,000.00 during the design of construction documents based on the items described below:
1. During construction design it was discovered that gaps in the ballistic glass would not fully protect from accidental discharge so ballistic mullions were required instead of traditional mullions.
2. Bases to elevate the lockers off the ground were added during design to make the bottom lockers easier and safer to access and give the installation a more finished and professional appearance.
The requested amount of $8,048 also includes a project contingency of 5% of the low bid to resolve any unanticipated conditions encountered during construction and will be supported with a transfer of cash from CIP Reserve.
Alternatives: Not approve the amendment and the project would not proceed.
Financial Considerations: $8,048 will be transferred from the CIP Reserve to the project.
