recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of Change Order for Sentinel for Door Access and Video Security Project.
BACKGROUND:

IMPACT ON BUDGET:
Total for Sentinel $33,609.87 ($36,464.00 minus Sentinel CR Memo of $3,037.13). Change order will be paid out of 4700-640.02-899.000.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
Some coordination with Facilities and Operations as well as building occupants will be required for physical door and camera installation.
