Asset Management Services – Capital Project Ordinance 4. During an inspection of the Sheriff’s Office building, Asset Management Services (AMS) found potential organic growth in the Information Technology room. AMS retained Environmental Solutions Group (ESG) to perform air and surface sampling, and organic growth was found. The room was immediately contained and no access allowed. The necessary repair and reconstruction of the closet will occur over the Thanksgiving weekend to allow time to switch all services over to temporary equipment, remove the contaminated equipment and materials, deliver equipment to a cleaning facility, and then reconstruction services will be performed. The HVAC unit will be replaced as part of this remediation, due to the HVAC unit being the cause of the moisture. This unit is oversized and is not dehumidifying the cooled air before introducing it into the space. The new unit will be designed within dehumidification and sized appropriately for the space and heat load produced by the equipment within the room. Since this project was not anticipated as part of the Capital Investment Plan, staff recommends that the funds totaling $53,471 be approved for new financing for the repair and reconstruction of the Sheriff’s Office IT room, and establishes the following Capital Project Ordinance: Sheriff’s Office Remediation Project ($53,471) - Project # 10077 Revenues for this project: Current FY 2019-20 FY 2019-20 Amendment FY 2019-20 Revised Alternative Financing $0 $53,471 $53,471 Total Project Funding $0 $53,471 $53,471 Appropriated for this project: Current FY 2019-20 FY 2019-20 Amendment FY 2019-20 Revised Sheriff’s Office Remediation $0 $53,471 $53,471 Total Costs $0 $53,471 $53,471 SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no Orange County Social Justice Goal impact associated with this item. County Capital Projects – Technical Amendment 5. The Approved FY 2019-24 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) included $525,000 in FY 2019- 20 funding within the Facility Accessibility and Security Improvements project. Of this amount, $371,000 was to be debt financed and $154,000 was to be Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) funding. The $154,000 is for elevator modernization work at the Whitted Building. Instead of using PAYG funding, this work will be included in the Fall 2019 financing package. This technical budget amendment provides for this change in funding, reduces the appropriation from fund balance in the General Fund, and amends the following Capital Project Ordinance: (See Attachment 1, column 4) 3
