BACKGROUND: The 911 Expansion Project was begun in April, 1991 and is nearing completion of Phase I. Phase I is the construction of the new addition to the building. The new addition consists of new conference /training room on the top floor and a new communications center in the basement. Phase II, which includes the renovation of the existing building to accommodate office areas on the top floor and an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in the basement, is scheduled to begin following completion of Phase I and will be completed within 75 calendar days. Delay in console equipment delivery and subsequent training will extend the November 11, 1991 contract completion date by approximately 45 -60 days. Exact contract date of completion will be determined following equipment delivery and installation. The expansion project has.gone smoothly, however as with any building /renovation project, unanticipated events occur which require revisions in the plan and hence change orders. The Architect has submitted a request for $6,318 in change orders as detailed on the attached information sheet. Funds are available to support these change orders. RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends approval of change orders as presented and authorization for the Purchasing Director to execute the necessary paperwork.
