RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to execute a change order to increase the payment limit by $431,924, to a new payment limit of $4,751,162, with Accurate Controls, Inc. to install the broadband internet backbone necessary to allow the new security cameras to function in the various detention facilities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Board of Supervisors approved the additional appropriation of $431,924 as part of a larger appropriation for detention-related work on February 28, 2023. This action moves that appropriation into the construction contract so the work can be performed.

BACKGROUND:

During the installation of the new security cameras in the Martinez Detention Facility and in the West County Detention Facility it was discovered that the IT infrastructure in those older facilities was not sufficient to carry the amount of data traffic the new cameras produced. This change order is necessary to update the IT backbone in both facilities to allow the cameras to function properly.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Not approving the action would leave the detention facilities with security cameras that will not perform as needed.
