BACKGROUND:
On March 15, 2022, City Council approved the construction contract with Blackwater Construction Services, LLC, for the renovation and expansion of the Ocala Police Department's 9-1-1 Dispatch Center in the amount of $306,772.
Change orders issued during construction have necessitated this request to add $54,219 to the existing contract. These change orders will allow for the design and review of our current Ansul system including an updated AutoCAD of the new and existing floor plan. Previously issued change orders consisted of minor design changes to an existing wall, additional CAT 6 cables for radios, and additional IT/data and electrical outlets needed for the dispatch center expansion. Change orders 1-3, 5, 8, and 10 comprise the contract increase. Change order 6 was voided and the work was incorporated into change order 8. Change orders 4, 7, and 9 were not issued under this project. The total contract expenditure with the change orders is $360,991.

Approval of the increase to the original contract is necessary to complete the renovation of the 911 Dispatch Center.
