ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: February 1, 2005 <br />Action Agen,`da~ <br />Item No. <br />SUBJECT• Professional Services Contract -Indoor Air Quality Testing <br />DEPARTMENT: Purchasing and Central <br />Services/Public Works <br />PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Proposal <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Pam Jones (919) 245-2652 <br />Wilbert McAdoo (919) 245-2626 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider authorizing staff to contract with The Solutous Group for professional <br />services associated with air quality and other testing at the Southern Human Services Center <br />and the Whiffed Human Services Center in an amount not to exceed $12,990. <br />BACKGROUND: Staff has solicited a proposal to examine the validity of perceived air quality <br />issues at the Southern Human Services Center and the Whitted Human Services Center. The <br />Solutous Group, which has previously provided similar services to the County, has provided a <br />proposal that includes amulti-prong approach to the issues. Solutous has recommended the <br />following plan of action: <br />• Both air and surface samples will be taken at agreed upon locations within the buildings. <br />The samples will assess air quality, as well as mold and other bioaerosols that may be present <br />in and around the building, and particularly those in use in the Health Department Clinic areas. <br />Solutous has indicated that approximately 70 tests are needed in the two facilities. <br />• The analysis will also include an assessment of the chemicals used in the maintenance <br />and operations of these facilities and recommendations for alternatives, if more suitable <br />options exist. <br />• Airflow at numerous supply and return locations within the Southern Human Services <br />Center will be tested to evaluate the air handling capacity of this building, particularly in the <br />Clinic area of the Health Department. <br />Dr. Rosemary Summers, Orange County Health Director, has contacted the State to determine <br />their availability to carry out some or all of the testing work. At this point, it does not appear <br />likely that the State will be able to accommodate the request, particularly in a timely manner. <br />Should the State be able to provide a portion of the services, the Public Works staff will <br />coordinate to ensure the full slate of testing is carried out at the most reasonable cost. <br />
