BY: PLANNING AND BUILDING COMMITTEE - ANNE M. HOBART, CHAIRPERSON
IN RE: DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS - ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR CONSTRUCTION
OF JAIL ADDITION
TO: OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS,
MR. CHAIRPERSON, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, the Jail Addition currently under construction was
originally estimated to cost $16,625,000; and
WHEREAS, as of this date the construction is approximately 70%
complete with occupancy expected in February, 1989; and
WHEREAS, the original total project budget did not anticipate
certain items of expense; and
WHEREAS, State Department of Corrections approval for an
additional 244 double-bunked prisoners is among these items; and
WHEREAS, these additional items include:
1. Two fire escape stair towers mandated by the State Fire
Marshall's office after construction had started at a cost
of $695,000.
2. Construction alterations required to accommodate the
double bunking recently approved by the State Department
of Corrections at a cost of $270,000.
3. Design changes in other areas of the building such as the
Booking area, the Medical area, medical and dental
equipment, and the roof, many of which are needed because
of the double-bunking and which have been requested by the
Sheriff's Department, the Health Department, and the
Facilities Maintenance and Operations Division at a cost
of $185,000.
4. Automatic electric switchgear to transfer the load from
one feeder to the other automatically at a cost of
$130,000.
S. Remodeling in the kitchen area to replace aging equipment
thereby accommodating not only the double-bunked prisoners
but also improving the existing operation at a cost of
$451,000.
WHEREAS, these additional items of work are estimated to cost a
total of $1,731,000; and
WHEREAS, the Budget Division has estimated this additional
expense will result in an unfavorable variance of $1,633,000 at the
conclusion of the project; and
WHEREAS, funding to cover this unfavorable variance has been
identified and is available from two sources: the Jail Expansion Design
Fund and the year-end-balance of the 1987 Capital Improvement Program.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners appropriates an additional $1,633,000 to the Oakland County
Building Authority to cover the cost of the above-mentioned items for the
Jail Addition project.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that $1,000,000 of this amount be taken
from the Jail Expansion Design Fund and that the remainder, $633,000, be
taken from the year-end-balance of the 1987 Capital Improvement Program.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Planning and Building
Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
