14 <br />1 Mothballing <br />2 Dry Storage <br />3 Proposed Solution <br />4 Mothballing /Dry Storage <br />5 • Alternate Plan <br />6 • Alternate Plan <br />7 <br />8 Intended Outcome <br />9 — Receive an update regarding requested information from the Board of County <br />10 Commissioners during its March 11, 2014 work session; <br />11 — Confirm the project plan as approved in the FY2013 -14 Capital Investment Plan <br />12 ( "Base Plan "); or <br />13 — Amend the project plan for "mothballing" and improving the classroom wings for <br />14 future occupancy and current storage use ( "Alternate Plan "); or <br />15 — Provide new direction to staff. <br />16 <br />17 Jeff Thompson said Rick Hines was here tonight. <br />18 Jeff Thompson reviewed the maps, blueprints and renderings of the facility. <br />19 Jeff Thompson said environmental health has now allowed staff to combine the building <br />20 capacity with the park capacity, which gives a total of 2,400 gallons per day to be shared. He <br />21 said this allows the Department of Environment, Agriculture, Parks and Recreation ( DEAPR) to <br />22 program heavy uses for either space to maximize capacity. He said this change will allow a 220 <br />23 person capacity at one time for 8 hours and a 350 person capacity at one time for 4 hours. He <br />24 said this is assuming a 2,200 gallon capacity with minimal use for the park. He said this can be <br />25 modified for special events or tournaments in the park. <br />26 He reviewed the base and alternate plans and renderings. He said the base plan cost is <br />27 approximately $2.36 million, and the contingency has been increased from 8 percent to 15 <br />28 percent due to higher demand in the market. He said moving forward this evening would place <br />29 this project in the construction market in the spring and summer of 2015. He noted the addition <br />30 of the classroom and the park and ride shelter. <br />31 Jeff Thompson said the Board has appropriated $2.5 million for this project, and the <br />32 difference between this amount and the base plan is $113,526. He said this is what is being <br />33 requested in additional appropriations for the base plan. <br />34 He said the alternate plan is two phase, and includes the mothball and dry storage <br />35 components. He said the mothballing objective is to protect the space for future use. He said <br />36 the dry storage involves using this existing space, and it would require fire protection increases <br />37 and access modification. <br />38 Jeff Thompson said the mothball cost will be $579,000 plus the design fees, and the <br />39 storage costs will be $85,000. He said the mothball subtotal is $608,700, and the Storage <br />40 subtotal is $100,000. He said these are not connected. He said this brings the alternate plan <br />41 subtotal to $708,700. <br />42 Commissioner Dorosin asked if the storage option for $100,000 could be done without <br />43 doing the mothballing. <br />44 Jeff Thompson said the facility could be used for storage today, with minor modifications <br />45 to the fire alarm system and access doors. He said DEAPR is currently using some of these <br />46 classrooms for storage. <br />47 He said the difference between the current appropriation and the alternate plan amount <br />48 is approximately $822,000, as compared to the difference of $113,000 with the base plan. <br />
