current escalation rates are trending at 3.5% to 4%. 
 
10.1 
Election’s Ballot Vault and New Server Room Documents 
a. Dry suppression requires these two rooms be sealed and doors swing out.  
b. Security camera locations are shown as a place holder for pricing. Moving forward, we will 
get feedback if they can tie into the existing analog system or if they will be on an upgraded 
digital system. 
c. The existing wall in the BTC may be removed.  Outlets have been shown – moving forward, 
we will need to coordinate outlets at the Duplication Stations.  Outlets will be added to the 
Ballot Vault. 
d. Space for 61 pallets are shown.  The County anticipates they will need space for the storage

Scott Hadley, Recorder’s Office 
 
From:  
Paul Corens, Facilities Management 
 
 
RE: 
 
Budgets for Security Hardening Projects 
 
 
 
 
Scott, 
 
 
In conjunction with BWS Architects, Facilities Management has compiled the 
following rough order of magnitude budgets for the four requested security design 
projects.   
 
These are estimates based on schematic designs.  Final costs may change due to 
changes in scope, design, and/ or final contractor estimates.  Cost savings might be 
realized if projects are authorized at the same time. 
 
 
 
1) Election’s vault and new server room: 
 
$657,000 - $723,000 
 
2) Election’s North lobby: 
 
 
 
$449,000 – $501,000 
 
3) Election’s South lobby: 
 
 
 
$180,000 – $203,000 
 
4) Recorder’s lobby: 
 
 
 
 
$496,000 – $550,569 
 
 
 
Facilities is aware that, if these construction projects are authorized, certain areas may 
only be available for short periods of time during the calendar year. 
 
Next steps may include authorizing BWS Architects to complete aspects of the 
various designs and engaging a contractor for estimating and scheduling.
