Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on approving the First Amendment to Guaranteed Maximum Price and the related Change Order Number 17 to the Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter Expansion Project for Exterior Kennel Renovations and authorizing execution of the same.

Due to constructability issues that were discovered following Williamson County’s acceptance of the Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) and during the initial design phase of the Project, the H-Infill kennel area was found to be an impractical solution for the original Project plans and intentions of adding kennel space. The Project’s design team then had to find an alternative plan of renovating the existing exterior kennels (the “Exterior Kennel Renovations”) to move the Project closer to the original goal and intent of additional kennel capacity.  To construct the Exterior Kennel Renovations, it is necessary to add an additional $288,000.00 to the GMP.  The Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter has collected donations that will be used to fund the additional $288,000.00 that is needed to construct the Exterior Kennel Renovations.
