BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: August 20, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Don Turner
SUBJECT: EMS Essex Road - Additional Funding
DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Request BCC approval of additional funding to complete the EMS
Essex Road project.
BACKGROUND: The controls building at the former Garniers WWTP was saved from
demolition and renovated to provide space for an EMS Station, the EMS shift command, and
EMS main supply. During the permitting process, it was determined that the use of the building
should be multi-use commercial/residential.
The determination brought with it an expanded set of requirements for the renovation. A fire
sprinkler system and monitored fire alarm system, among other items, were added to the project
costs. The original funding for the project was insufficient to complete the project due to the
reclassification. The BCC approved the additional funding necessary to cover those additional
costs.
The original project is complete and the various EMS units have moved in. A few of the
estimated costs came in a bit higher than expected resulting in a $3,708.04 cost overrun (see
attachment). In addition, the parking lot must be modified to allow large delivery trucks egress
and to repair some damage from construction activities. Our county Public Works Department
has offered to assist with the repairs and modifications; however, funding for the materials is
needed.
It is requested that the Board allow the remaining balance of $6,997.01 from the old FWB
hospital project and the unused funding in the amount of $7,000 from the Crestview Courthouse
roof coating project to be move to the EMS - Garniers project to balance the account and provide
the funding necessary for the work on the parking lot. The total amount of funds requested to be
transferred is $13,997.01.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Request BCC approval to move unused funding in the amount of
$13,997.01 from 301-3110-562121 and 301-3110-562280 Capital Outlay fund to 301-3120-
652223 EMS - Garniers Capital Outlay fund.
