Approve the Revised Plans and Specification for the project. 2. Approve a $20,000 change order to Bay Shore Electric to change the existing electrical panel installation from a single -phase system to a three - phase system, and install additional panels as required by the Building Department. 3. Approve a Budget Amendment to appropriate $20,000 from the unappropriated General Fund Balance to Account No. 7011- C3120363 to cover the cost of the change order. DISCUSSION: On June 27, 2000, the City Council awarded a $79,500 contract to Bay Shore Electric of Newport Beach, California, for the City Hall Electrical and Air Conditioning Upgrades. The contractor performed an initial investigation prior to starting work and discovered several live conduits and panels that needed improvements added to the contract. When the building was built in 1948 a single -phase electrical system was installed. The contract awarded anticipated upgrading this system and maintaining the single -phase system as the most cost - effective approach. The Contractor has suggested converting to a more modem and efficient three -phase system that will be better suited to future changes and expansion. In addition, it provides for a better distribution of power throughout the building. The Building Department concurs that a three -phase system is more appropriate for the power uses in City Hall. SUBJECT: CITY HALL ELECTRICAL AND AIR CONDITIONING UPGRADES, CONTRACT NO. 3318 October 24, 2000 Page 2 The change order for the upgrade from a single -phase to three -phase system and the addition of one supplemental panel amounts to $20,000. This amount represents a cost increase of approximately 25 percent over the original contract amount. Staff believes the change order amount is fair and recommends approval. It is recommended the change order be funded from the unappropriated General Fund Balance and that $20,000 be appropriated to the Capital Project Account, City Hall and Corporation Yard Improvements, 7011 - C3120363.
