During FY 2007-08, staff plans to explore options for purchasing <br /> County vehicles and equipment locally. <br /> 7. Flooring Replacements: <br /> 2007-08 Recommended Capital Funding: ($249,000) <br /> Re-appropriation of previously approved, uncommitted funds, to <br /> higher priority County capital projects. <br /> 8. Information Technology <br /> 2007-08 Recommended Capital Funding: $850,000 <br /> Refer to the attached list for the projects listed in priority. <br /> 9. 911 Center at Meadowlands <br /> 2007-08 Recommended Capital Funding: $1,300,000 <br /> On November 14, 2007, the Board approved the relocation of the 9- <br /> 1-1 Center to the County-owned building at 510 Meadowlands <br /> Drive, Hillsborough. Since that time, the Emergency Services staff <br /> has worked with the architect to arrive at a suitable space plan for <br /> the facility. Authorization to seek a Construction Manager at Risk <br /> for this work is slated for Board consideration on June 26, 2007. A <br /> CMAR contract would be presented in early-Fall 2007, with <br /> commencement of the work immediately thereafter. <br /> Further, a new communications tower to connect the new Center to <br /> the Eno Mountain transmitters is being funded and built by the <br /> State Highway Patrol at the Meadowlands site. The Hillsborough <br /> Board of Adjustment is scheduled to approve the tower in July <br /> 2007. <br /> A final component of the retrofit is the replacement of the dispatch <br /> consoles, which is funded through a Homeland Security grant. The <br /> grant was accepted by the Board in 2005 and the consoles ordered <br /> for installation in the current facility on New Hope Church Road. <br /> However, when the County moved toward relocation of Emergency <br /> Services operations to the Meadowlands site the console order was <br /> retooled to meet the configuration necessary for the new location. <br /> It is important for the County to take delivery of the equipment, <br /> which is now ready, in order to meet the deadline for drawdown of <br /> grant funds in late-Fall 2007. The grant was extended to allow <br /> sufficient time for the retrofit work at the new space, but would not <br /> be available for further time extension. <br /> 10.Orange High School Tennis Court Resurfacing <br /> 2007-08 Recommended Capital Funding: $100,000 ($50,000 currently <br /> available from prior years' appropriations) <br />
