Resolution INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam Jones, Asset Management & Purchasing Services, 245-2652 Dave Stancil, ERCD, 245-2522 Karen Lincoln, Planning, 245-2594 PURPOSE: To: • Consider a bid award to McQueen Construction of Bahama, NC in the amount of $498,992.40 for the construction of the Twin Creeks (Moniese Nomp) Park, Phase I; • Approve and authorize the Chair to sign the resolution required by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT); • Authorize the Manager to sign the construction contract on behalf of the BOCC; and • Authorize the Manager to sign necessary change orders to the extent of the project budget. BACKGROUND: On April 7, 2009 the Board approved a 0.62-mile greenway from the Morris Grove Elementary School through the Twin Creeks Park site as the new Phase I of Twin Creeks Park. At that time, the Board also approved amending the existing engineering consultant contract to authorize the preparation of construction documents for Phase I. The project consists of a 10-ft. wide concrete multi-use trail following the existing sewer easement through the park site, and a 111.5' steel truss bridge crossing Jones Creek. The trail will end at the southern boundary of the County property and will be marked with signage. Currently the Town of Carrboro is pursuing an access easement with MI Homes (the adjacent landowner to the south between Twin Creeks and Lake Hogan Farms) to allow connection to the residential neighborhoods to the south.
