Source: Daily Press, Victorville, Calif.迷你倉沙田Aug. 17--ADELANTO -- Modifications from a state fire inspection and other alterations have added another $1 million to the cost of the Adelanto Detention Center Expansion Project, a venture that was already more than $25 million over its original construction budget.The latest extra construction funds were approved at a recent meeting of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors. According to the staff report by county Architecture and Engineering Department Director Carl Alban, about $710,000 of that money will go to Washington-based contractor Lydig Construction for labor and materials to address various fire safety issues arising from a state fire marshal inspection.Reasons for the additional costs included inconsistent firefighting water supply pressure from the city of Adelanto, improvements to staff and inmate security, and the normal "change order" process on major public works projects."There are a number of reasons the cost of the project is increasing," Alban wrote in an email to the Daily Press. "Clearly some are related to the smoke control systems, but also to issues related to water quality from the new well."The construction portion of the project budget was originally set at about $91 million. That figure has ballooned to about $118.3 million -- with additional costs on the way.The staff report states that total budget for the expansion remains at $144 million, which includes inspection, labor compliance, commissioning costs and other miscellaneous project costs. The Sheriff's Department also anticipates additional costs, according to the report. Transition planning costs at an estimated $1.4 million will bring the total project cost to $145.4 million,迷你倉價錢the report states.Even though the expansion was approved by the state fire marshal, as well as the Board of State and Community Corrections, the continuous process of fire safety inspections -- resulting in adjustments to a construction budget -- is normal, Alban said."The state fire marshal provides ongoing inspections during the entire construction process to ensure that the ongoing work, as well as the work that is contained above ceilings and behind walls that may not be accessible when completed, has the appropriate approvals," Alban explained.A combination of funding from both the state and county will pay for the expansion. The state's current share of the cost is $100 million, and the county's is $44 million.Of the county's share, about $39.2 million has already been funded by the board through various programs, such as the county's Future Space Needs Reserves and savings from the High Desert Public Safety Operations Center project.The remainder of the county's share, about $4.8 million, will be funded by money set aside for jail upgrades in the 2013-14 budget, the report states.Located at 9438 Commerce Way in Adelanto, the prison was formerly owned and operated by Maranatha Private Corrections, which sold it to the county for $31.2 million in 2005.The county awarded the construction contract to Lydig Construction in December 2010.Alban said the expansion project, which will add 1,392 beds to the existing 706-inmate facility, is about 90 percent complete.Jim E.
