Wilson Construction Company, Inc. for the <br /> renovations to the Orange County Justice Facility First Floor, Criminal Justice Resource <br /> Department, Court Street Annex Second Floor, Richard E. Whitted Health Department <br /> Waiting Room and Window Replacements for the Second and Third Floor Connectors <br /> between A and B Buildings, and <br /> 2) Authorize the County Manager to execute the Agreement and to execute any subsequent <br /> amendments for contingent and unforeseen requirements up to the approved budget <br /> amount on behalf of the Board, upon final County Attorney review. <br /> BACKGROUND: In Fiscal year (FY) 2019-2020 the Orange County Board of County <br /> Commissioners (BOCC) approved multiple capital projects for interior renovations for Orange <br /> County facilities. <br /> These renovations include renovating the first floor of the Justice Facility to replace the recessed <br /> lighting fixtures in the Mural Courtroom with LED lighting; install a counter in the Juvenile Section <br /> of the Clerk of Court's Office to increase security; install glass partitions at the Clerk of Courts' <br /> counter to enhance security; and improve the furniture within the Probate Office to ensure more <br /> privacy. <br /> The Criminal Justice Resource Department (CJRD) is currently located within the lower level of <br /> the 1954 Courthouse. The program's expansion prompted the need for more functional and <br /> consolidated office space. The Sheriff's office space next to the existing CJRD office has excess <br /> capacity and will be renovated along with existing CJRD staff offices to provide the function <br /> space needed. <br />
