No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> PAM JONES, ext. 2650 <br /> Telephone Number- <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 967-9251 <br /> Mebane 227-2031 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To authorize the Purchasing Director to award a bid for improvements to <br /> the tennis courts at Orange High School. <br /> BACKGROUND: Funds to provide improvements to the tennis courts at Orange High <br /> School are included in the Capital Improvements Plans for both the County and Orange <br /> County Schools. Due to delays in determining the most appropriate solution to tennis <br /> court resurfacing, bids were not solicited in time to be received before the last BOCC <br /> meeting this fiscal year. Bids are due to be received on July 8. <br /> In order to ensure that the courts are available when the tennis season begins on <br /> August 1, it is requested that the Board authorize the Purchasing Director to award the <br /> bids, up to a total of $45,000 in County funds, which are currently available in the CIP <br /> and ear-marked for this project. Since the County and the Schools will share the cost <br /> equally, this would mean that a bid for$90,000 or less could be awarded. <br /> An agenda item would be presented to the Board during their August 4, 1997 meeting <br /> confirming the action taken by the Purchasing Director and citing the exact amount of <br /> the bid awarded. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Given that the funds are available in the CIP for this project, the <br /> Manager recommends that the Board authorize the Purchasing Director to award a bid <br /> for tennis court improvements at Orange High School in an amount not to exceed <br /> $45,000 in County funds. <br />
