Browse Search

As the Board is aware, the deadline for vacating the current Shelter is December 2008, which is the date established by the University. While final regulatory approvals are pending, the County • and most notably, the Town of Chapel Hill, have expedited the approval processes in an extraordinary manner to help the County meet this aggressive construction timeline. Construction is expected to begin in November 2007. FINANCIAL IMPACT: In recognition of the substantial amount of work that is carried out by the contractor prior to a final GMP being set, a contract committing the County to pre-construction costs incurred by the contractor is forwarded for approval by the Board at the onset. This is an amount that would be rolled into the GMP when negotiations are successfully finalized, but is also an amount that would be paid to the Contractor in the event an acceptable GMP could not be negotiated. The pre-construction services contract amount for this project is $30,000. As a reminder, the project budget for the Facility currently stands at $5.8 million including land, design and construction. -Amore precise funding plan will be presented when the GMP contract is presented for Board consideration within the next few months. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board authorize a contract to be prepared by the County Attorney in an amount not to exceed $30,000 for pre-construction services with Clancy 8~ Theys of Raleigh, North Carolina to serve as the Construction Manager at Risk for the Animal Services Facility; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board.
