No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> PAM JONES, ext. 2650 <br /> Bid tabulation <br /> Telephone Number- <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 967-9251 <br /> Mebane 227-2031 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid to Patriot Builders, Inc., Hillsborough, for <br /> repairs and renovations to the Orange County Library floor. <br /> BACKGROUND: Sufficient funds are included in the current CIP to make improvements <br /> to the floor at the Orange County Library. Time and moisture between the deck and the <br /> floor have caused the wooden floor to deteriorate and to create a less than stable base <br /> for the bookshelves. The work will include: <br /> • Removing old carpet and wooden floor; <br /> • Pouring concrete floor; <br /> • Installing new carpet. <br /> Plans and specifications were developed by Neville Engineering. <br /> County Staff has solicited bids for this work two times. In an effort to encourage bidder <br /> interest, both bid efforts were advertised. Only one bidder responded to each of the <br /> two solicitations. The sole bidder, and the firm to whom recommendation for award is <br /> made, is Patriot Builders for a total cost of$50,500. <br /> The County is negotiating with the Department of Corrections to obtain inmate labor to <br /> move the books in order that the renovation work may be completed by Patriot. <br /> y Work is scheduled to begin around September 15, 1997. It is anticipated that the work <br /> will take approximately one month to complete. Limited services will be available during <br /> this period. <br />
