Throughout the <br /> summer and fall of 2018, the freezer slab, roof system, and freezer installation was designed by <br /> Summit Engineering. The freezer design and purchase was also completed and delivered to the <br /> jobsite. <br /> Over winter 2018, the project was sent out to multiple construction bidders for the construction <br /> activities and installation of the freezers. The original bid numbers returned were more than <br /> double the budgeted amount for the installation of the freezer slab and connections to the <br /> existing facility. In January 2019, the roof portion of the project was updated to become an <br /> alternate to the project scope of work, and the project was then re-bid. <br /> The revised construction bids remain higher than the original estimated amounts, and an <br /> additional $26,093 is needed to fund the project, for a total revised project budget of $186,093. <br /> Staff recommends that the additional funds needed for this project come from available Article <br /> 46 Sales Tax proceeds, bringing the total County match to $58,093. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Proceeds from Article 46 Sales Tax revenue would fund the additional <br /> amount of $26,093 needed for this project. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to <br /> this item: <br /> • GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY <br />
