However, there should first be a recommendation far a policy on including <br />art in any County facilities. <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Nelson, seconded by Commissioner Gordon to <br />approve awarding a bid to LeChase Construction Services, LLC, Durham, NC in an amount not <br />to exceed $2,168,090 for the construction of the Solid Waste Operations Center on Eubanks <br />Road, Chapel Hill and authorize the County Manager to execute and report to the Board change <br />orders as may be required up to the amount of the project budget.
