2 <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The overall project funding for the Whitted Human Services Center <br />renovation is just under $3 million. Staff proposes that the contract with Wildlife Nuisance <br />Control, and any subsequent Manager-authorized change orders up to $100,000 be funded by <br />reallocating already budgeted funds from subsequent phases of the WHSC project (e.g. <br />painting and floor coverings). Staff will use other unencumbered operating budget resources or <br />any savings that can be achieved in the scope of the overall WHSC renovation project to <br />complete those subsequent project elements. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br />1) authorize the Purchasing Director and Public Works Director to negotiate and execute a <br />contract and any related documents with Wildlife Nuisance Control, Inc. in the <br />approximate amount of $50,000, to carry out environmental remediation work essential <br />to completion of the Whitted Human Services Center renovation project; <br />2) authorize the Purchasing Director and Public Works Director to negotiate an appropriate <br />reduction in the contract with Environmental Air Systems, Inc. to reflect a credit to the <br />County for any of their contracted work that will instead be carried out by Wildlife <br />Nuisance Control, Inc.; and <br />3) authorize the Manager to approve and staff to execute any WHSC project change <br />orders, not to exceed a cumulative total of $100,000, that may become necessary <br />through August 19, 2003. <br />
