One of the required code improvements is to create "rated hallways" on both the upper and lower levels. This involves wrapping the structure with drywall in a manner that creates three- hourfire rated walls in corridors leading to an outside exit. The cost for this work is $53,300 as reflected in alternates #1 and #5. Parallel with the discussion regarding "rated hallways" is the potential for the Hillsborough Arts Commission ("HAC") to use the old Library space at the Whiffed Building, or some other future yet undetermined activity. The Board may recall on November 18, 2010, it authorized the Manager to engage the Town of Hillsborough with regard to its interest in the 1St level of Building A as a location for the Hillsborough Arts Commission. HAC has explored the facility for such use, and would need an "Assembly" rating for the space, triggering the need for a full sprinkler system within the entire Building A. Currently, the building carries a "Business" rating that does not require a sprinkler system. If a sprinkler system were to be installed, then the work included for "rated hallways" would not be needed. The cost of a sprinkler system for Building A has been estimated at $190,000. Installation of the sprinkler system is recommended. While the impetus for installing a sprinkler came from the revised usage by HAC, the County would derive significant protection from having the facility sprinkled; and a sprinkled building would provide the greatest flexibility for future use. Since operations of the Health Department and other occupants of the building would be significantly disrupted should the sprinkler not be installed in conjunction with the renovation project, installation is recommended at this time. If the Board should choose not to move forward with the installation of a sprinkler system, the bid awardee would change (see Attachment B). Attachment B, "Comparative Costs" illustrates the comparison of: 1) the original staff prepared schematic cost estimate and the recommended base bid and alternate packages for both sprinkled and un-sprinkled scenarios; 2) the schematic estimate for the sprinkler system. The timeline presented to the BOCC on December 14, 2010 by which the project would be delivered is as follows: TASK PROPOSED BEGINNING DATE END BY DATE BOCC Action: A royal of lans for the renovation of s ace 12/14/10 12/14/10 Biddin hase 12/20/10 1/19/11 BOCC Action: Bid Award 2/15/11 2/15/11 Phase (Construction - A Buildin est. 90 da duration ,Health Clinic move 2/16/11 5/23/11 Phase II Construction - B Buildin est. 45 da duration 5/26/11 7/11/11 Dental move from Carr Mill 7/25/11 7/29/11 FINANCIAL IMPACT: On December 14, $1,470,000.
