SUBJECT:
title
Establishing Fixed Asset Line for Budget Unit 1100-243 Correctional Facility and Approve Appropriation Transfer (4/5 Vote Required)
end
RECOMMENDATION(S):
Recommendation
That the Board of Supervisors:
1. Approve an appropriations transfer request establishing a fixed asset line in fiscal year (FY) 2020-21 Budget Unit 1100-243 Correctional Facility for the purchase and installation of a boiler (Attachment 1) (4/5 vote required).
Body
SOURCE OF FUNDING:
General Fund
DISCUSSION:
The Correctional Facilities’ boiler unit #3 is cracked and currently not operational, forcing the other three Phase One boilers to compensate for the one being out of service. This may accelerate the wear on the three operational boilers. Since this boiler is over 25 years old, it makes operational sense to replace it with a new boiler instead of spending a significant cost estimated to be $15,000-$20,000 to repair the current aged model.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The purchase and installation for the boiler has been quoted in the amount of $59,925.00. Additionally, county Public Works has projected costs and labor estimated not to exceed $2,996.00 for a total project cost of $62,921.00. The Correctional Facility budgeted $175,510.00 for unanticipated and miscellaneous repairs/maintenance of the jail structure and has a remaining $68,356.46 available as of April 26, 2021. An appropriation transfer from budget unit 1100-243 Correctional Facility object code 2113 - Maintenance Structures is requested to establish a fixed asset (object code 8186 (Building Improvement) for the boiler project. There is no additional impact to the General Fund.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by providing for and maintaining infrastructure.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board of Supervisors may choose not to approve the recommendation; however, this is not recommended as the boiler needs to be replaced.
