Title
Authorize the RMA Director or Deputy Director of Public Works, Parks and Facilities to approve Change Order No. 180 for the New Juvenile Hall Project in the amount of $646,193, to change Commercial Storefront frames to Detention Grade Hollow Metal Frames, glazing and corrective work associate therewith.
Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors authorize the RMA Director or Deputy Director of Public Works, Parks and Facilities to approve Change Order No. 108 for the New Juvenile Hall Project in the amount of $646,193, to change Commercial Store Front frames to Detention Grade Hollow Metal Frames, glazing and corrective work associate therewith.
SUMMARY:
Change Order No. 108 was submitted by the contractor for a proposed cost of $760,193. The project team negotiated the amount down, pursuant to the terms of the contract, to $646,193. Change Order requests that exceed a threshold of $150,000 require authorization by the Board of Supervisors. This request covers the costs associated with this component for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Project.
This Change Order is time-sensitive due to a lead time of six (6) weeks for manufacture and on-site installation, and schedule impacts that could incur potential additional costs associated with maintaining Project consultants and delay of overall construction. Approval of this request will allow the project to maintain its current schedule, where Phase 1 of the Project would conclude the first week of July 2019. Phase 2 is scheduled to be completed one year following completion of Phase 1.

In June 2018, BSCC identified that the installed aluminum commercial grade storefront glazing systems did not meet required State detention standards. These frames had been ordered and installed according to the plans and specifications of the Architect-of-Record (AOR), which were approved by Board of State and Community Corrections (BSCC) for construction.
