BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: December 4, 2012
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Don Turner
SUBJECT: Essex Road EMS Bldg. Project Completion - Funding Request
DEPARTMENT: Facility Maintenance
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: The Board is requested to approve funding in the amount of
$44,000 to complete the remodeling of the former Garniers Wastewater Treatment Plant
(WWTP) controls building into an EMS station, and facilities for the EMS shift command and
EMS main supply.
BACKGROUND: In February of 2012, the BCC approved of providing $65,000 to fund the
remodeling of the former Garniers WWTP controls building for an EMS station and to house the
EMS shift command and EMS main supply (February agenda item attached). That funding
request was based on what FM staff believed the condition of the building would be at the time it
was turned over for remodeling and the pre-permitting guidance received regarding the fire/life
safety requirements for the facility.
Unforeseen scope changes in the fire/life safety requirements and the actual condition of the
building when it was turned over have driven the cost to complete the project much higher than
the original estimate. The original funding for the project has been exhausted. To complete the
project will require an additional $44,000 in funding (see attachment).
The building contains approximately 4100 s.f. under roof. The completed project's total hard
cost will be approximately $26.60/s.f. and total costs less than $65/s.f. With market prices for a
remodeling project of this scope typically running more than $100/s.f., the finished project still
represents a terrific value to the county.
If the Board approves the completion of the project, $44,000 will be needed to finish all of the
work.
RECOMMENDATIONS: The Board is requested to approve funding in the amount of $44,000
to complete the remodeling of the former Garniers WWTP controls building into an EMS station
and a new home for the EMS shift command and EMS main supply.
