The increase is necessary in order to cover 'increased costs to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements for play area ground cover. The increase also covers repair of water damage in the existing building and new water drains. On July 21, 1993 , the Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee heard a request for an additional $8, 000 from the Contingency Fund for the Preschool Project. The first, from General Services Department, covered further project cost overruns for complying with ADA requirements, removal and relocation of play equipment for school aged children to the new school-age play are, and additional General Services Department staff time necessary to complete the preschool contract. This contract is being managed by the County's General Services Department. The Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee recommended approval of the $8, 000 request. The Committee, however, directed that the Board Order authorizing the use of this money reflect the Committee's judgment that the project has been poorly handled by GSD. Also on July 21, 1993 , the Housing. & Community Development Advisory Committee heard a request for an additional $12 , 000 for the preschool project, outside the scope of the General Services Department contract, from Frances Greene, Executive Director of Pittsburg Preschool Coordinating Council.

The $12, 000 will pay for ground cover for the infant/toddler play area and new outdoor play equipment for those children.
