_ M M <br />RECOMMENDATIONS: <br />Staff recommends Board approval of Change Order Number 8 and requeste <br />authorization for the Chairman to execute the appropriate documents. <br />General Services Director Sonny Dean announced that Gary <br />Glenewenkel, senior vice president of Centex Rooney, Inc., and <br />Steve Krome, representing Pierce, Goodwin, Alexander, and Linville, <br />were present at today's meeting and available to answer questions. <br />Gary Glenewenkel advised that change orders to date, including <br />the subject change order, total $376,805. Of that amount, about <br />$223,000 resulted from air quality and audio/video changes made at <br />the request of the County, and the balance of the changes were <br />initiated by the architect and contractor. He emphasized that <br />those numbers are well within the norm for projects of this <br />magnitude. He explained that the subject change order is in the <br />total amount of $109,778, and an itemized list of the changes is <br />attached to the change order. <br />Commissioner Adams led discussion about the necessity for <br />spending $9,100 to change the courtroom seating from oak to <br />mahogany. <br />Steve Rrome explained that the paneling specified for the <br />courtrooms has been used in other buildings, but not with this type <br />of seating. They realized that the white oak seating would clash <br />with the paneling, and it would be more expensive to change the <br />paneling than to change the seating. <br />Commissioner Bird noticed that there was no change in cost <br />associated with Item 17. He believed that handicapped toilets were <br />more expensive than non -handicapped toilets and that this change <br />should have resulted in a credit. <br />Commissioner Eggert wanted to know why the scheduled <br />handicapped toilets were being changed to non -handicapped toilets. <br />Director Dean responded that handicapped toilets were <br />scheduled for the Judges chambers, but the Judges did not want <br />them. <br />Mr. Glenewenkel explained that no credit is involved because <br />changing from handicapped to non -handicapped fixtures requires very <br />minor modifications. <br />Director Dean advised that we are still under budget on the <br />Courthouse. <br />owl <br />FEB 22 91 FACE779 <br />
