4 <br /> Funds from the Efland Sewer project and the Information Technologies Project are residual <br /> funds that are no longer needed for the projects. Due to timing, the Efland Cheeks Community <br /> Center Project and the Parking Lot Improvement projects will not proceed this fiscal year. The <br /> County Manager will recommend re-budgeting those projects in the FY2019-20 Capital Budget. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The contract with Sasser Companies, Inc. is a not to exceed amount of <br /> $733,271.43. Reallocations of the existing projects described above will be used to finance this <br /> project. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are applicable <br /> to this item: <br /> • GOAL: CREATE A SAFE COMMUNITY <br /> The reduction of risks from vehicle/traffic accidents, childhood and senior injuries, gang <br /> activity, substance abuse and domestic violence. <br /> • GOAL: ENABLE FULL CIVIC PARTICIPATION <br /> Ensure that Orange County residents are able to engage government through voting and <br /> volunteering by eliminating disparities in participation and barriers to participation. <br /> Remediating and repairing the Battle Courtroom will create a safe working environment for staff <br /> and allow the use of the courtroom for efficient court functioning. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br /> 1. Find that water intrusions into the Battle Courtroom created an indoor environmental air <br /> quality hazard that represents a threat to the health and safety of staff and the public <br /> using the facility and that this emergency condition is present, immediate, and existing; <br /> 2. To remedy the emergency condition, the Board approve bypassing formal bid <br /> requirements and authorize the Chair to execute a contract with Sasser Companies, Inc. <br /> in the amount of $733,271.43 to remediate, repair, and reconstruct the Battle Courtroom <br /> and roof system, and <br /> 3. Approve Budget Amendment #3-B, described above, that reallocates funds from existing <br /> capital projects to finance this unexpected capital repair. <br />
