• Contact was made with G.E. Capitol and we were advised that French doors could be added but it would increase the monthly rental by $70.00 per month In order to stay on schedule, it is requested that the Board approve this additional change. This will bring the monthly charge to S5 964 per month and establish an annual cost of $71,568. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that in order to provide a more acceptable door, that the change order be approved by the Board authorizing an additional $70.00 per month in lease charges. Commissioner Adams expressed her frustration that this project is getting out of control. Almost every week another change is being presented. General Services Director Tom Frame stated that the extra expense is to comply with the required additional wind loads. Commissioner Ginn commented that this change involves some safety issues. The regular door only had a small glass pane and she, as well as the Supervisor of Elections, had understood that the french doors were included in the original estimate. Commissioner Adams noted that when the talks first began about the new voting machines, there was no expectation that the whole Elections Office would have to be moved. She was concerned that the project was getting totally "out of hand" and wondered when it would stop. Commissioner Macht commented that this is another unfunded State mandate. Director Frame noted that the modular unit has been ordered and is in the process of being manufactured. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board, by a 4-1 vote (Commissioner Adams opposed) approved the Change Order with G. E Capital Modular Space resulting in a monthly charge of $5,964 and an annual cost of $71,568, as recommended by staff. • MAY 21, 2002 a4' Lai -59-
