Director, transmitting a Communication, dated transmitted herewith for your approval is
Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $79,243.00 to the contract with DELTA ENGINEERING, INC., Reason: This change order is to design a metal security ceiling in
South Campus Buildings 3 and 4. Though
this is a minimum security facility, inmates are still housed in these

possibility of hiding objects is too great, therefore the installation of a
metal security ceiling is recommended. Contract No. 08-41-155 Original Contract Sum: $250,000.00 Total Changes to-date: 0.00 Adjusted Contract to-date: $250,000.00 Amount of this Modification:

POLICY, by Bruce Washington, Director, transmitting a Communication, dated transmitted herewith for your approval is
Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $2,515,950.00 to the contract with ROULA ASSOCIATES ARCHITECTS, Reason: During the programming phase, it was determined that the using
agencies required additional square footage to meet their needs and to
address specific requirements of the In addition, the original site had to be changed so that the new
building would be adjacent to Cermak Health
Services of Cook County. This
will decrease detainee transport distance to assigned divisions, allow for
reduced redundancy in the new building and better staff efficiency. Surveys
of the new site confirmed additional underground utilities, which must be
relocated and will require additional design effort. Also, due to the proximity of the new site
to existing buildings, increased construction phasing and protection of
adjacent foundations must be designed. The overall project budget was increased during the Capital
Improvement Program hearings and the A/E fee adjustment is recommended due to
that increase. This
is categorized as a Public Safety Capital Project. Contract No. 08-41-158 Original
