Phase I <br />will include demolition, electrical service, and metal stud wall construction. <br />Over the next several weeks, the project team, consisting of County staff, Corley Redfoot Zack <br />Architects and RBC, will complete the balance of the upfit so a second amendment representing <br />the completion of the upfit can be presented to the Board in January 2009. <br />The project is scheduled to be completed in early-Summer 2009. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) for Phase I is $358,710.
