On May 20, 2003, The Orange County Board of Commissioners authorized the manager to approve and staff to execute any change orders, not to exceed a cumulative total of $100,000 that may become necessary through August 19, 2003. The staff communicated that we would provide the BOCC with a written report on the nature and scope upon the manager's approval of such change orders. As the drop ceilings were removed we discovered 4 hidden structural conditions, which required change orders to address. The first condition relates to the structural problems mentioned in the May 16, 2003 memorandum from Public Works Director, Wilbert McAdoo re: Richard E. Whiffed Human Services /Update. Bilger Engineering inspected the roof and ceiling structure and identified failed or inadequate structural elements in four different areas.
