Background and Rationale
body
Property Management has two elevator modernization projects approved as 2024 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Major Projects. The two projects are the Law Enforcement Center (LEC) Elevator Modernization Project at $3,872,000, and the Juvenile and Family Justice Center (JFJC) Elevator Modernization Project at $2,833,000. Based on the revised cost estimates to complete each of these projects utilizing the low bids from the recent solicitations, the LEC project is over funded and the JFJC project is underfunded.
To close the funding gap for the JFJC project, on December 5th Property Management presented a request to the Capital Improvement Program Citizen’s Advisory Committee (CIPAC) for additional funding. The request included the amended project scope, cost and financing for both the LEC and JFJC elevator modernization projects.
CIPAC recommended the approval of a use of contingent funds in an amount up to $613,000 to further fund the JFJC project. CIPAC support included the expectation that the anticipated funding surplus of approximately $1,490,000 from the LEC project would be returned to the contingent account to support future requests.
