2 <br />system that protects both the Mural and Battle courtrooms. The Mural sprinkler system will <br />incorporate a dual triggered "pre-action" mechanism that will provide protection against the <br />premature discharge of water onto the artwork and murals; water will only be discharged in the <br />case of a fire in that area. <br />The construction scope and pricing based on this design is attached. Should this proposed <br />change order and capital project ordinances be approved, completion of the facility will start <br />immediately and will be completed in the first quarter of 2010. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The attached change order for the Justice Center Facility project totals <br />$294,009. This project, with a currently approved budget of $11,979,103, has available funds of <br />$157,000 towards this change order. Staff proposes the remaining $137,009 needed to fund <br />the change order be transferred from the Emergency Services Relocation at Meadowlands <br />Capital Project. This amount also includes $10,000 for contingencies that may arise during the <br />sprinkler construction. <br />The Emergency Services facility has been completed for some time and currently has an <br />unencumbered amount of approximately $187,000 available. With the exception of installation <br />of wire mesh window coverings sufficient to withstand flying debris in a high wind event, the <br />project is complete. The cost of the window coverings has been set aside and is not included in <br />the stated unencumbered amount. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: 1) Approve a change order in <br />the amount of $294,009 to the Justice Center Facility Project needed to comply with life safety <br />code issues; 2) Approve the attached Justice Center Facility and Emergency Services <br />Relocation at Meadowlands Capital Project Ordinances; and 3) Authorize the Manager to sign <br />the change order. <br />
