• Development and implementation of a Roof Asset Management Program (RAMP) computer database <br />for managing, tracking, and projecting ongoing needs and associated costs. <br />The contractor provided initial delivery of the project results in fall 1998. Necessary refinements to those <br />documents, as requested by County staff, were delayed for several months during the prolonged illness of <br />the Public Works Director. All work has now been completed; all reports and the RAMP software have <br />been delivered by CTL to Orange County Public Works. Attachment 7 is a "full site book" for the <br />Whiffed Human Services Center. This document is provided to the Board as an example of the detailed <br />assessment that CTL has provided to County staff for each County -owned building. The RAMP report <br />outlines the needed roof repairs and replacement by year with associated cost. The Public Works <br />Department Staff has begun addressing these needs as outlined below: <br />• Approximately 4,000 sq. ft. of the Animal Shelter roof was recently replaced; <br />• The old house at the Southern Human Services Center was recently re- roofed; <br />• The roof at Northside Building Two is scheduled to be repaired during May 1999. <br />Public Works staff will continue to schedule and complete roof repairs as identified in the CTL <br />Engineering Roofing Report. <br />County staff solicited and received a proposal from CTL Engineering for roof engineering services. A <br />summary of the proposed scope of work is at Attachment 8. The scope of work to be completed by CTL <br />Engineering includes remedial roof design work for: <br />• Animal Control (approximately 1,200 sq. ft); <br />• Government Services Annex (approximately 432 sq. ft.); <br />• Jail (approximately 18,200 sq. ft.); <br />• Northside Building One (approximately 1,300 sq. ft.); <br />• Richard E. Whitted Human Services Center (approximately 20,300 sq. ft.); <br />• 501 West Franklin Street (approximately 900 sq. ft.); <br />• 503 West Franklin Street (approximately 1100 sq. ft.). <br />The capital investment plan has $473,000 in approved 1998 -1999 funding and a request for $110,000 in <br />1999 —2000, for roofing consulting services roof replacement and roof repair. Staff requests that the <br />Board approve the proposal from CTL to undertake the remedial roof design work for the projects listed at <br />a cost of $37,000. <br />School/Park Reserve — Report from Subcommittee <br />At the May 4 regular meeting, the Board asked Commissioners Brown and Jacobs to work with staff and <br />develop some recommendations regarding criteria for the use of funds earmarked to the School/Parks <br />Reserve Fund that was established in 1995. A report of preliminary discussions on this topic will be <br />provided at or before the work session. <br />The recommended 1999 -2009 CIP was compiled using the assumption that the one cent equivalent in <br />property tax revenues earmarked in the previous four years for the School/Park Reserve would be <br />redirected to support various County capital projects in future years. If the Board wishes to pursue a <br />different approach, staff have prepared one scenario of where cuts equivalent to one cent in property tax <br />revenue could be made from proposed County project allocations each year of the 1999 -2009 CIP period. <br />A spreadsheet and explanatory summary of these possible cuts are included at Attachment 9. The <br />spreadsheet titled "Suggested Project Changes to County Projects If One Cent Property Tax Is Not <br />
