002 General Construction Project Component: The project's engineering consultant, HDR Engineering, Inc., worked with staff to complete construction documents through the spring of 2012. The construction component of the project was bid in April, 2012. On June 5, 2012, the bids were rejected by the BOCC due to the withdrawal of bids from the first and second low bidder. The BOCC authorized staff to rebid the project and to present the recommended award to the BOCC after the summer break. On June 24, 2012 Orange County advertised Bid Number 387-284 for the general construction component of the project. A pre-bid conference for the bid was held on July 2, 2012 with County staff and the designer. Seven contractors attended the meeting. Sealed bids were received by Orange County on July 26, 2012 with seven (7) companies submitting bids for the project. Attachment 1 is the certified bid tabulation of the results. After a period of review of the bid documents by the County's engineering consultant, W.L. Bishop Construction of Hillsborough, NC was determined to be the lowest responsive, responsible bidder for the construction project. Equipment Component of Project: On July 13, 2012 Orange County advertised Bid Number 285 for the stationary compactors and 40 cubic yard octagon compaction containers for the project. Sealed bids were received by Orange County on July 26, 2012 with seven (7) companies submitting bids for the project. Attachment 2 is the bid tabulation of the results. After thorough staff review, Baker Waste of Valdese, NC was determined to be the lowest responsive, responsible bidder for the equipment for the project. Temporary Services During Construction/Public Communication: When construction begins at the Walnut Grove Church Road convenience center site, current operations at the site will be modified. At that time the collection of household garbage and the disposal of used motor oil and filters, antifreeze, and batteries will become the only operation that will occur at this site for the duration of the construction project. These activities will take place on the leased portion of the property only. The leased site is too small to provide for continuing all current activities. For recycling purposes, a 24-hour temporary recycling drop-off center will be located at Cedar Grove Park, 5800 Highway 86 North, Hillsborough, four (4) miles north of the Convenience Center. This site will only accept mixed paper, magazines and newspaper, plastic bottles, jugs, glass bottles and jars, aluminum and steel cans in single stream roll-off containers and corrugated cardboard in dumpster containers. All other materials and services currently handled at the site will need to be delivered to another convenience center site or held until the Walnut Grove Church Road construction is complete and the center is open for use. The 24- hour recycling drop-off site at Hampton Pointe, behind Home Depot in Hillsborough, will also be available for traditional recycling.
