Board pauses vote on $50,546 courthouse digital-room change order after state-driven server changes
Summary
The board discussed Change Order #20 for Scandroli Construction—$50,545.82—to add HVAC and architectural work for new servers in the courthouse digital recording room. County staff said the State of Illinois changed requirements from one to two servers; no vote was taken pending further discussion.
The Boone County Board debated Change Order #20 from Scandroli Construction for $50,545.82 to upgrade the courthouse digital recording room after the State of Illinois altered the server requirements. County staff reported the change requires additional HVAC capacity (estimated at about $40,000) and approximately $10,000 in architectural work. Dan Saavedra told the board that the state is moving from one server to two and said, "I think the state of Illinois should fund this change order."
Becky Tobin provided a technical breakdown of heat load, citing a server of 2,800 BTUs and, when combined with other equipment, a total heat load of 11,380 BTUs per hour for the enclosed space; Saavedra added that the room cannot be opened to natural ventilation because of the sensitivity of the stored information. The board declined to take a vote and discussed scheduling a special meeting to coordinate with the state, architects and engineers.
