• ALTERNATIVES AND A.LNALYSIS Utemative 1: Approve this Amendment No. 2 and construct the pavilion as proposed. alternative 2: Add a master stormwater pond and the associated site -work to direct all runoff from the Fairgrounds to the master pond. This would eliminate the stormwater management tracts immediately East of the new pavilion, and the existing Arena building, and would provide capacity for the future construction of several more buildings. This alternative would add $97,024.00 to the cost of the project. This is a value-added element that would be Less expensive to do now rather than constructing individual stormwater tracts with each new future building Alternative 3: Add insulation to the roof and wall panels. This is a value-added item that will extend the life of the panels. The insulation will reduce condensation on the inside of the building and therefore protect the metal from getting wet and rusting. The insulation cannot be added in the future without disassembling the roof and wall panels, which is expensive and is highly discouraged. This alternative will cost $17,426.00 Alternative 4: Staff intends to add electric services (lighting and power) to the project with a future Amendment. The cost of the electric installation is $26,253.00. Providing lights and power will make the building more marketable to event operators, and is therefore critically important to generating revenue with the new facility. The added bookings and increased rental rates generated by having the electric services, compared to not having electric services, will `pay -back' the cost of the installation of the electric services within a few years of use Staff intends to fund this item with the Fair Improvement Fund We anticipate that with the addition of this year's contribution from the Fair Association, there will be sufficient funds available to completely cover this expense. RECOhMhMENDATIONS AND FUNDING Staff recommends that the Board select Alternative No.1, to approve Amendment No. 2 for fmal design and permitting and construction phase services for $447,304.00 and authorize the Chairman to execute the Amendment Staff further recommends that the Board direct staff to bring back a future No.3, and No.4 to the CONTRACT. Funds will be dedicated from the 1-0 localnt tax c onttinge cyfund to pay for Alternatives Not. and No.3, and from the Fair Improvement Fund for Alternative No.4. This project is partially funded by a grant from the r'crida Depa, u .;.it ofA,giculture and Consumer Services, and partially from the 1-0 local option sales tax funu. The account number is 31521072-066510-02005.
