PURPOSE: To accept one of the identified options upon which to award a bid and to
approve a contract for renovation work at the Skills Development Center.
BACKGROUND: On January 17, 1998 the Board of Commissioners accepted the bid
for renovation work at the referenced facility as submitted by O.C. Mitchell Jr., Inc. .
The board further directed County Staff to pursue negotiations with Mitchell to bring the
amount to be awarded closer to compliance with available funding.
The attached options list identifies various options explored by the Facilities
Development Task Force. The group recommends the acceptance of Option II, which
includes $17,660 credit back to the project.
This recommended option meets the goal of bringing the construction cost closer to the
amount of available funding while still maintaining the functionality of the building.
Particular attention was given to maintaining the daylighting features, which have been
reported to reduce lighting costs by no less than 50%. The specific value engineering
items are listed on the attached spreadsheet.
Although Option II, if approved, would provide $17,660 credit, an additional $26,340
would be required to finance the project .
The Manager recommends that $780,000 be funded through private placement funds
and $26,340 be appropriated from unbudgeted sales tax receipts for 1996-97.

RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board award a bid to O.C.
Mitchell Jr., Inc. in an amount not to exceed $806,562 with $780,000 funded through
private placement and $26,340 funded through an appropriation from unbudgeted sales
tax receipts for 1996-97; and authorize the Chair to sign a construction contract,
contingent upon Attorney and Staff review, on behalf of the Board.
