Agenda Item Text:
Approve Amendment No. 5 to Contract #090098DC lease with the Department of Corrections for Property at Bisbee/Douglas International (BDI), which provides for sharing costs for repairing and improving the BDI water system.
Background:
The BDI water system, which supplies water to BDI and the Department of Corrections (DOC) facility located on land at BDI leased to DOC, has been in need of substantial repair and improvement. The County has retained an engineer (Brown and Caldwell, Tucson) to study the water system and recommend repairs and improvements. Phase I has been completed. The engineer has estimated that engineering costs for Phase II, dealing mostly with replacing/fixing water lines, will be $110,000. This Amendment will split these costs between the County (15%, or $16,500) and DOC (85%, or $93,500). A gross estimate of the construction costs for Phase II is $600,000. A map showing the conceptual design of the waterlines improvements is attached to this agenda item. The split between the County and DOC will be based on the number and type of water fixtures each uses, which will be determined by the engineer. It is quite likely that this will result in a reduction for the County from the 15% proportion.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Pay the engineer for the engineering costs, and bill DOC for its share.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
Repairs and improvements to the water system will not occur.
