Agenda Text
The Board is requested to appropriate $500,000 to facilitate the complete replacement of the Durham County Detention Center emergency generator automatic transfer switches (ATS) and elevator equipment/control room HVAC systems. The automatic transfer switches safely provide emergency power to the Detention Center elevators and other essential life safety systems.
The General Contractor, Progressive Contracting, that is performing the Detention Center elevator modernization project (IFB No. 18-003, currently underway), has provided a proposed cost of $852,826.25 for the complete replacement of the generator ATS and elevator related HVAC system. The available project budget in the Jail Elevator Upgrade Project 4190DC077 is $439,390.79. With the additional funding of $500,000, General Services intends to award a contract change order, not to exceeded $852,826.25, to Progressive Contracting for complete replacement of the emergency generator ATS and related elevator HVAC systems. After transfer of funding and change order execution, the remaining fund balance of $86,564.51 will be reserved for project contingency purposes.
The additional $500,000 will be funded by reducing the DSS Building Demolition Project by the remaining balance of $249,573 and an appropriation of Debt Service Fund fund balance of $250,427 and transferring these funds to the Pay as You Go County Contribution Fund. Both amounts will be appropriated to the Detention Center elevator Project.
