RE: Approval of ARPA Funding Re-Allocation of $300,301.00 from project savings to fund change order for Sentinel project
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of ARPA Funding Re-Allocation of $300,301 from project savings to fund change order for Sentinel project for cabling in McCree and Circuit Court
BACKGROUND:
ARPA Funds can be spent on projects that were obligated on or prior to 12/31/24.
DISCUSSION:
There have been savings from ARPA projects that came in below the projected cost. The ARPA funds can be re-allocated to other ARPA projects that were obligated by 12/31/24. We are requesting to re-allocate funds to the Sentinel change order for cabling for McCree and Circuit Court. Approval will allow the vendor to replace cabling at doors with existing IStar access control, where replacement cabling is needed to support Verkada. The updates will help improve the reliability of the access control system, strengthen building security, and provide better control over entry to restricted areas.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
There is no impact on Human Resources.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
These projects will be funded by Genesee County American Rescue Plan Act funding and will have no impact on the fund balance of general fund. A budget amendment is attached to this request.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
Facilities may be needed throughout the project to allow vendors into restricted areas.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
Reviewed by IT.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
These projects conform to the Genesee County Priority of Healthy, Livable, and Safe communities’ priority.
