Title
Receive a Status Report on the New Juvenile Hall, Project 8811.
Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Capital Improvement Committee receive a Status Report on the New Juvenile Hall, Project 8811.
SUMMARY:
Construction of Phase I of the New Juvenile Hall, Project 8811 (Project), is within 90 days of closeout. Closeout is the period wherein the Project Team prepares final punch lists for the Project. A punch list is a document prepared near the end of a construction project that lists all work not conforming to contract specifications that the Contractor must complete prior to receiving final payment for work. Also, during Closeout the Probation Department staff receives training on the new facility's security systems and begins transitioning operations to the newly constructed buildings. The Project Team visited other new juvenile hall facilities in the region to learn what they might anticipate in this transfer of operations.
In these last weeks, the Contractor will install electronic systems, finishes, and fixed furnishings. The Project Team continues to work diligently to keep Project changes orders to a minimum to control costs and keep the project on schedule. RMA has dedicated additional resources to the Closeout phase to ensure the County reacts quickly to any change requests to keep the project moving and recover from any schedule delay. As with any large construction project, changes are expected on an ongoing basis. Additional discretionary funds will be required as Phase I project contingencies are depleted. At this point, the needed fiscal augmentation will be determined once the Contractor finalizes his Time Impact Analysis (TIA) and known issues are priced.
