33. FACILITIES MANAGEMENT BUDGET ADJUSTMENT FOR FY 2016 In accordance with A.R.S. Section 42-17106(B), authorize the following adjustment to the FY 2016 Adopted Budget: a) Create a new project Life Safety Projects (SFTY) and increase the FY 2016 expenditure authority in the General Fund (100) Facilities Management Department (700) Life Safety Projects (SFTY) by $100,000, from $0 to $100,000. b) Decrease the FY 2016 Non-Departmental (470) General Fund (100) Non-Recurring Non-Project (0001) Budget in the “unreserved contingency line” in the amount of $100,000. These actions will have a county-wide impact of zero. The Central Court Electrical system upgrade was forecasted to be complete by June 30, 2015; however delays have occurred which require the unspent funding to be continued into FY 2016. The total project budget remains unchanged at $2,057,080. During the past year of the upgrades to the Central Court Electrical system, several problems have been encountered including: live neutral feeds requiring tracing and re-wiring for safety, unmarked electrical panels requiring tracing and testing, and the inability to pull old electrical feeds out of existing conduit because the agent used on the feed to “slip” in the conduit solidified due to age. As a result, the contractor will have to replace existing conduit to re-pull outdated electrical feeds. These unforeseen existing conditions have slowed progress resulting in the requirement of additional time for completion. Five remaining feeders require replacement which cannot be completed in Fiscal Year 2015. (C-70-15-008-M-00)
