SUBJECT:
A Resolution authorizing change orders for the remodeling of the City of Aurora Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for an amount of $85,012.48.
PURPOSE:
Resolution R22-206 authorized remodeling to Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) and Backup Communications Center (BCC) to address longstanding issues with furniture, sound quality in the room as well as lighting for a cost of $1,339,547.45, which included a 3% contingency or $40,186.42.
This resolution authorizes changes necessary to complete the renovations of the PSAP and BCC.
BACKGROUND:
The PSAP and BCC renovations were nearly completed, and a ribbon cutting was held on February 8, 2024. This resolution addresses outstanding final changes required to complete the work.
DISCUSSION:
Additional costs for the PSAP and BCC are listed below:
Furniture -- $49,862.76
These cost increases were due to the increases experienced from the time of the original quote 2021 until the current time.
Cabling -- $35,149.72
These costs were incurred to pull additional cables needed for the large screen displays and card access controls for the new supervisor office
A budget amendment is required to be submitted to pay for these change orders into account 211-3537-421.61-41 ($49,862.76) and 211-3537-421.38-99 ($35,149.72) (C142).
IMPACT STATEMENT:
The completion of this project will replace equipment in the PSAP and BCC is over 12 years old and is in poor condition. With the addition of additional equipment as well as the video wall, the PSAP and BCC will meet the needs of the City for many years.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the proposed resolution be adopted.
