Whined Projects Update a0 March 27, 2002 Page 3 The Clinic renovation will be funded through Medicaid Maximization funds. As you know, the federal government requires that each state °set aside" a portion of annual Medicaid earnings as a contingency to avoid over expenditures. The funds are referred to as 'federal coat settlement funds' or "Medicaid maximization funds'. Should the federal government not need to use the withheld funds, It reimburses the funds to the State on an annual basis. These funds are to be used for cast-based reimbursement for public providers of Medicaid services. Renovation of the Clinic is consistent with allowable uses of the approximately$225,000 available at this time. HVAC System Calling and Lighting Replacement The replacement of the HVAC system is a project of significant size and impact. The project includes not only replacement of the air handling equipment but also line ductwork, all above ceiling control valves and the ceiling Itself. New energy efficient lighting will be added as well. It would be both unsafe and unhealthy for the building occupants If this extensive work were to be conducted while areas remain occupied. For that reason, we requested that a phasing plan be developed that would allow the work to progress expeditiously, but leave the building occupants in place during as much of the project as possible. The engineer, Reece, Noland & McElrath has provided three phasing options as follows: • 12-month construction time. The option that would complete the work within 12 months requires the County to vacate the entire building at one time. This would require us to find alternative office space for approximately 150 employees for the full year. 15-month construction tlme. The second option creates five distinctive • components over the approximately 15-month construction time period as follows: 1. Recreation Building 2. All of Building B,which Includes the Health Clinic and part of DSS. 3. First floor Building A 4. Second floor Building A 5. Thim floor Building • 20-month construction time The thim option develops twelve phasing areas as follows: 1. Centel Red. Lower Level 2. Central Rec. Gym 3. Library 4. B Building Second Floor 5.
