Title

Reallocate Project Funds for Door Access Control Improvement Project (NB)

 

This is a request for the City Commission to reallocate project funds

 

Explanation

The Capital Improvement Plan for FY2011-2015 allocated $150,000 for City Hall Waterproofing; $144,290 of those project funds were unexpended and were reallocated in FY 2015 to the Door Access Control Improvement Project.  As of FY 2017, there is $121,587 remaining in project funds.

 

This replacement project is critical because it is the main control element at the perimeter and department entrances of City Hall and the Old Library Building. The hardware and software of the existing system is obsolete and experiencing random failures. Repair parts are difficult and expensive to obtain. The ability to maintain accurate records of employee clearances is limited and timely changes to those clearances are cumbersome.   

 

Competitive bids for the Access Control Project were taken on October, 20, 2016 and the lowest bid was $194,141.  With a contingency, the total project is expected to cost $214,141.  To cover the resulting $92,554 shortfall in funding, staff is proposing to reallocate funding to the Door Access Control Project from the following existing projects that are either complete or are intended for general maintenance and repairs:

 

$16,282 -  302-M142           Public Facilities Upgrades/Improvements (FY10)

$  3,020 - 302-M143            Unscheduled Maintenance & Repairs (FY14)

$  2,054 - 302-M210            ADA Compliance Projects (FY12)

$  2,218 - 302-M800            General Facilities Improvements (FY11)

$39,720 - 340-EC10            City Hall Energy Conservation (FY09 - project complete)

$14,000 -  328-FFGFC02    City Hall Area Lighting (FY15)

$14,384 - 351-M907            Facilities Maintenance (FY17)

$       76 - 351-M937            Rehab of Downtown Clock Tower (FY15 - project complete)

$     800 - 351-M946            Hippodrome HVAC Replacements (FY15 - project complete)

 

$92,554    Total Reallocation

 

Fiscal

There will be no impact on fund balances due to the reallocation of existing project funds. These funds would routinely return to the General Fund as each project is completed.

 

Recommendation

The City Commission approve reallocation of project funding to the Door Access Control Project from the listed projects.
