[c. Discussion, consideration and action on request from John A. Hernandez, P.E., County Engineer, on the Justice Center following items: a. Contract Contingency Withdraw Authorization #1 on Items #1 - #5. b. Approval of Contract Change Order #1 for Security Equipment and Access Control System.]

VERY MUCH. OKAY. 2.4 C DISCUSSION. CONSIDERATION, ACTION ON A REQUEST FROM JOHN A HERNANDEZ, PROFESSIONAL ENGINEER, COUNTY ENGINEER ON THE JUSTICE CENTER. FOLLOWING ITEMS A CONTRACT CONTINGENCY WITHDRAWAL, AUTHORIZATION NUMBER ONE AND ITEMS NUMBER ONE THROUGH FIVE. B APPROVAL OF CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE FOR SECURITY EQUIPMENT AND ACCESS CONTROL SYSTEM. HIGH. GOOD MORNING. SO I HAVE WITH ME TODAY TIM MCCANDLESS, A REPRESENTATIVE FROM FULTON. OKAY. AND WE'LL BOTH BE HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FOR YOU GUYS. BUT LET'S GIVE US A LITTLE BRIEF ON WHAT YOU'RE. LET ME GIVE YOU GUYS A LITTLE BRIEF THANKS. AND WHAT WE'RE REQUESTING IS APPROVAL FROM THE COURT. BLESSING IS A CONTINGENCY WITHDRAWALS NUMBER ONE THROUGH FIVE. THIS AMOUNT IT COMES OUT TO ABOUT. $866,963.44. THIS REPRESENTS APPROXIMATELY 1.39% OF THE CONTINGENCY FUND. WITHIN THE CONTRACT. THERE'S $2 MILLION SET ASIDE FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT. AND SO WE'RE REQUESTING IS WITHDRAWALS NUMBERS ONE THROUGH FIVE. NUMBER ONE, WITHDRAWAL NUMBER ONE HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY APPROVED. AND THAT WAS DONE LAST YEAR MAY OF 2024.

AND WHY ARE WE DOING THIS NOW. EXCUSE ME SIR, WHY ARE WE DOING THEM NOW. WELL THIS IS JUST TO BRING BASICALLY THE ADMINISTRATION PORTION OF IT UP TO DATE. OKAY? THAT'S ALL IT IS.

OKAY. THIS ONE HERE FROM NUMBER TWO AND NUMBER FIVE WILL REQUIRE TODAY'S AUTHORIZATION APPROVAL.

AUTHORIZATION NUMBER TWO, WITHDRAW FROM THE CONTINGENCY IS WHAT WE CALL A RECONCILIATION OF THE PROJECT. THE WHEN WE DID THE CONTRACT WITH FULTON LAST YEAR, THAT WAS BASED ON APPROXIMATELY 75% OF CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS. FIVE MONTHS LATER, THE ARCHITECT TEAM FINALLY PROVIDED TO THE COUNTY AND FULTON WHAT WE CALLED THE 100% CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS WITHIN THE TIME FRAME. THERE'S ALSO A FEW CHANGES IN WITHIN THE DOCUMENTS. MAINLY THERE WAS THREE BIG ITEMS THE METALWORK, THE STEEL AND ELECTRICAL. THOSE, REMEMBER, I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE STEEL. THAT'S CORRECT. AND SO SINCE WE HAVE THE UPDATED DOCUMENTATION HERE, THERE'S A NEED FOR A REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF APPROXIMATELY $621,028. AND THAT COMES FROM THE CONTINGENCY. AND THAT JUST BRINGS US UP TO DATE ON THE 100% CONSTRUCTION DRAWINGS. OKAY. SUPPORT, DOCUMENTATION, ITEMIZATION, THINGS LIKE THAT HAVE ALL BEEN PROPERLY DOCUMENTED IN HERE AT ALL. YEAH.

YES, SIR. NOW, THE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE THAT WAS APPROVED. OH, WE'RE NOT WE'RE NOT THERE YET, SIR. OKAY. NUMBER THREE IS VOIDED AND NOT IT'S INCORPORATED WITH OTHER CONTINGENCY

[00:15:05]

WITHDRAWALS. OKAY. 1245. CONTINGENCY NUMBER FOUR IS REQUEST DUE TO THE STEEL CHANGES? YOU'VE HEARD ME. YOU HEARD ME. GUYS TALK ABOUT THE SHOP DRAWINGS, FABRICATION AND DELIVERY SCHEDULE. AND SO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM HAS TO DO WITH THE DETAILS ON THE ON THE STEEL CONNECTIONS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. FOR EXAMPLE, THERE'S SOME CHANGES IN THE I-BEAM DIMENSIONS. SOME WENT UP, SOME WENT DOWN. BUT IT'S ALL DOCUMENTED HERE IN THE DOCUMENTATION HERE. LASTLY IS WHAT WE CALL THE CONDUIT FOR PRIMARY POWER. SO THIS PARTICULAR ONE, WHEN THE COUNTY BOUGHT THE PROPERTY AND DESIGNS WERE DONE APPROXIMATELY A YEAR TWO YEARS AGO, IT COST FOR OVERHEAD CONNECTION FOR THE PRIMARY POWER. BUT SINCE WE'RE THIS PROJECT INSIDE THE CITY LIMITS, IT WOULD WOULD CITY COMPLIANCE. EVERYTHING HAS TO BE UNDERGROUND. MAKES MORE SENSE ANYWAY. IT MAKES A LOT OF SENSE. RIGHT. SO THAT THAT INCREASE WAS ABOUT 1000FT OF EXTRA CONDUIT. AND THAT'S WHAT THIS COST REPRESENTS. ABOUT 43,000. YES, SIR. SO IF YOU GUYS HAVE CAUGHT GIVES APPROVAL FOR CONTINGENCY AUTHORIZATION AUTHORIZATIONS TWO THROUGH FIVE, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. AND TIM, HERE'S AS ANY I CAN ANSWER ANY SPECIFIC DETAILED QUESTIONS FOR THE COURT. I THINK WE'LL HANDLE EACH A AND B. THAT'S CORRECT OKAY. SO THERE'S ONE MOTION APPROVED 2.4 SEE A. SECOND. THANK YOU. ALL IN FAVOR. AYE AYE. MOTION TO APPROVE 2.4 C NUMBER B. LET'S LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT ONE FIRST OKAY I'M SORRY. ARE YOU GOING TO PULL YOUR MOTION. I PULL MY MOTION. THANK YOU. TALK ABOUT B. ALRIGHT. HE IS A COUNTY CAME WANTS TO PARTNER WITH FULTON TO HAVE WHAT WE CALL THE SECURITY EQUIPMENT. THIS PARTICULAR WORK HAS TO BE DONE REGARDLESS WHAT THE COUNTY DOES IT ON OUR END. OR LIKE I SAID, WE PARTNER WITH FULTON AND THAT WAY WE WILL HAVE THIS FOLLOWING. OKAY, THE BENEFIT OF THIS PARTICULAR CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER IS THAT WE WOULD MOVE THE PURCHASE OF SECURITY EQUIPMENT FROM THE COUNTY AND TO PARTNER WITH FULTON, AND THIS WILL ENSURE THE COMPATIBILITY AND EXPANSION FOR ANY FUTURE ACCESS CONTROL AND DETENTION FACILITIES. AND SO REALLY WHAT THAT DOES THAT HELPS THE COUNTY SAVE THE BIDDING PROCUREMENT PROCESS, THE CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION PROCESS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IF WE PARTNER WITH FULTON, THEY WILL TAKE OVER EVERYTHING AND ENSURE THAT EVERYTHING WILL BE COMPATIBLE NOT ONLY WITH THEIR SYSTEM, BUT ALSO FUTURE COUNTY SYSTEM. IS THERE A COST SAVINGS INVOLVED AT ALL? WELL, THERE WOULD BE. LIKE I SAID, ARE THERE A NEGATIVE COST SAVINGS? NO, THERE WOULD BE A COST SAVINGS. AND MY AND ALSO SPEED PROCESS BECAUSE IF NOT, THE COUNTY WOULD HAVE TO GO, LIKE I SAID TO THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS, IT'S BIDDING AND ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF. AND THEN THE COUNTY PERSONNEL WOULD HAVE TO MONITOR THE CONTRACTOR IN WORKING WITH FULTON AND TO ENSURE EVERYTHING GETS PERFORMED CORRECTLY. SO MONITOR OVERSEEING THE CONTRACT AND CONTRACT. THAT'S A BIG HEADACHE RIGHT NOW AS IT IS. AND SO WE IF WE AUTHORIZE FULTON TO OVERSEE THAT ON BEHALF OF THE COUNTY, I'M ON BOARD WITH THAT. OKAY. NO PROBLEM SIR. WE WOULD WE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT. YES. MY BASIC QUESTION AND TELLS ME IT'S SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL AND SO FORTH. HAVE YOU TALKED WITH THE SHERIFF ON THIS? I MEAN, HE'S EVENTUALLY GOING TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH SECURITY AND ACCESS CONTROL. I WOULD ASSUME THAT WE'RE TALKING WITH THE SHERIFF ON THIS TO. YEAH. SHERIFF AND HIS TEAM HAVE WE HAVE BEEN ON BOARD INTERMITTENTLY AS PARTICULAR ITEMS ON BOARD WITH THE TEAM AND ALSO THE ARCHITECTURAL TEAM. SO THEY HAVE BEEN ABOARD? SURE. GO AHEAD AND COMMENT. YES. WE HAVE BEEN ON BOARD AND HAVE BEEN GOING TO THE MEETINGS REGULARLY WITH AND DISCUSS THIS MATTER. SO WE'RE AWARE OF IT. AND IT'S ONE OF THE NECESSITY THINGS THAT HAS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF. WELL, YES.

[00:20:01]

THE GOOD THING IS WE'RE PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE AND IT HAS TO BE INTEROPERABLE WITH WITH THINGS COMING DOWN. WE DON'T WANT TO PUT A SYSTEM IN THAT IS GOOD TODAY, BUT WE CAN'T ADD ON TO IT OR INTEGRATE WITH IT LATER ON WITH THE NEW UPDATED STUFF, IS WHAT I'M SAYING. THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING. WE DO HAVE ANOTHER SET OF EYES LOOKING AT IT WITH THE JAIL COMMISSION THAT WE HAD SEND SOME PAPERWORK IN REGULARLY TO GET THIS THING, THIS PROJECT GOING. OKAY. THANK YOU. I JUST WANTED TO ADVISE THE COURT THIS. SINCE THIS IS OWNER REQUESTED ITEM, THIS WILL BE AN OFFICIAL CONTRACT CHANGE ORDER. SO THIS WILL BE CHANGE ORDER NUMBER ONE AT THAT APPROXIMATE COST. BUT I HAVE VISITED WITH THE AUDITOR'S OFFICE TO ENSURE FUNDING HAS BEEN SET ASIDE. THE COST OF RIGHT HERE 63,000. NO NO WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT. OH, YES. YOU GOT IT RIGHT HERE I GOT IT.

YOU GOT IT RIGHT THERE. $621,494. OKAY. AND THAT WILL THAT GRAND TOTAL UP THERE. OH, THAT IS THE REVISED CONTRACT COST, RIGHT? YES, SIR. ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT, JOHN, RECOMMEND APPROVAL. ALL RIGHT. I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION, SIR. MAKE A MOTION FOR 2.4. SEE ITEM B SECOND. ALL IN FAVOR? AYE, AYE. ALL RIGHT, MOVING ON. THANK YOU. GENTLEMEN, ARE YOU GOING TO BE HERE FOR SOME MORE? NO, NO, NO, I THINK I WANT TO GIVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR OTHER COUNTY EMPLOYEES. ALL RIGHT, JOHN, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'LL GET IT OVER TO THE JUDGE TO SIGN SO WE
