ACTION REQUESTED:

PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:
June 17, 2024, Regular Meeting, Agenda Item # 24-413 - Awarded construction contract
BACKGROUND:
The original scope of work for the project was reduced when bid to lower costs considering discussions surrounding the potential approval of a new Detention Center. The reduction in scope included a significant reduction in the areas to be painting and removed painting cell walls and floors as well as other specialty holding and program areas. Given that the new Detention Center will take several years to complete once approved, the UC Sheriff’s Office requested that the original scope be restored. Approval of this change order will eliminate future inmate transfer costs when future painting may be required. Union County Sheriff’s Office and Facilities Management staff recommend approval of costs for the increased scope of work and associated costs included in the change order.
The breakdown of painting costs included in the change order request is below:
Jail cell walls and ceilings (96 total) $176,160.00
Jail cell floor epoxy (96 total) $82,848.00
Telephone rooms (2 total) $6,770.00
Special handling cell (8 total) $21,440.00
Solitary confinement/group holding floors $3,470.00
Total $290,688.00
Facilities Management has utilized the contractual services of H.C. Rummage for construction services on the Detention Center Painting project since June 17, 2024. H.C. Rummage has been effective and efficient in meeting our service needs, and we are requesting to approve the contract amendment to increase the scope of work as detailed in this request.
The contractor has submitted Change Order #1 in the amount of $290,688.00 to cover the costs associated with the increased scope. The original contract price was $213,050.00 and with this change order will increase by $290,688.00 to $503,738.00.

The cost of this change order is $290,688.00. There are sufficient funds in capital account 40080112 - Jail Paint Block Walls and Floors to cover this expense.
