so the work was put on hold as of July 1, 2008. The Board has recently enacted two <br />separate actions that bring the total allocation for this project to $1,000,000: $425,000 <br />approved for debt financing in fall/winter 2009 and $575,000 approved FY 2009-10 Pay-As- <br />You-Go funds. <br />Cost estimates for each phase of work will be provided after the revised scope of work has <br />been vetted with the designer. The original project did not include costs for constructing a <br />sprinkler system for the building, which is estimated to be in the range of $180,000-- <br />$200,000. However, based on preliminary estimates staff believes this cost is manageable <br />within current allocations given the reduced scope of the renovation effort. <br />Board of Elections Space Development <br />Modifications at the GSC-A will be carried out somewhat contemporaneously with work at <br />the Link Center. It is likely the Human Resources Department will relocate to the Link Center <br />first in order to vacate space which will be used for offices by the Board of Elections. Board <br />of Elections should be able to occupy the building no later than November 4, 2009. The <br />work in the new office space for Board of Elections at GSA-A requires cosmetic changes <br />(paint and carpet) with minimal carpentry work expected. Asset Management and <br />Purchasing Services (AMPS) staff intends to coordinate this work among the service <br />providers to ensure on-time delivery of the space to the Elections staff. Minimal work which <br />may be required in other parts of the building where voting equipment may be stored or <br />meeting rooms established will be completed after other GSC-A occupants are relocated to <br />the Link Center. The Board will recall from their June 2, 2009 agenda material, the work at <br />the GSC-A is being funded through HAVA grant funds. <br />Public Information <br />Information will be released to the public to alert them to the potential changes when the <br />intentions have been finalized for this project Capital project staff and representatives from <br />the affected Departments -will work through the Clerk's Office and the County's IT department <br />to ensure information is released in a timely manner and kept up to date on the County's <br />website. <br />Development Timeline <br />(see attached) <br />4 <br />
