Bonnie Hammersley said the first step in this process was a request for proposals <br /> (RFP) for the broker of record, and this was awarded to Arthur J Gallagher. She said the next <br /> step is to get RFPs in the competitive market for other providers. She said the timing is not <br /> good, so the County will be with UHC for the next 12 months, and then an RFP will be <br /> distributed. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Pelissier to <br /> approve the County Manager's recommendation of no increase for medical and pharmacy <br /> costs, $100,000 increase for mitigating the impact of employees paying double deductibles <br /> and a $70,000 increase for dental insurance. <br /> VOTE: Ayes, 6; Nays, 1 (Commissioner Rich) <br /> MOTION PASSES 6-1 <br /> b. Cedar Grove Community Center Construction Bid Award and Approval of Budqet <br /> Amendment#6-B <br /> The Board considered: 1) Awarding a bid to Raccanelli Construction South, Inc. of <br /> Apex, North Carolina in the amount of$2,311,900 for the construction of the Cedar Grove <br /> Community Center; 2) Approving Budget Amendment#6-B in the amount of$104,000 from the <br /> Roofing Projects Capital Project (related to the unused funds for the Northside Human <br /> Services Center) to the Cedar Grove Capital Project to provide contingency funds for the <br /> project (if necessary); 3) Authorizing the Chair to sign the necessary paperwork upon final <br /> review of the County Attorney; and 4) Authorizing the County Manager to execute change <br /> orders for the project up to the project budget. <br /> Jeff Thompson said Raccanelli South is the lowest responsive bidder, and if the Board <br /> approves this award, the construction should start in early April. He walked through several <br /> slides of the site plan and the improvements. He said the building will be kept in very good <br /> working order, with the community center in the middle and the mothballed wings serving as <br /> storage or other uses currently being discussed by the workgroup. He said the truck dock <br /> access really opens up the southern wing for storage and economic development use. <br /> He said the plan is for an 8 month construction period and a projected opening for <br /> spring of 2016. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Rich for the <br /> Board to: <br /> 1) Award a bid to Raccanelli Construction South, Inc. of Apex, North Carolina in the amount of <br /> $2,311,900 for the construction of the Cedar Grove Community Center; <br /> 2) Approve Budget Amendment#6-B in the amount of$104,000 from the Roofing Projects <br /> Capital Project (related to the unused funds for the Northside Human Services Center) to the <br /> Cedar Grove Capital Project to provide contingency funds for the project (if necessary); <br /> 3) Authorize the Chair to sign the necessary paperwork upon final review of the County <br /> Attorney; and <br /> 4) Authorize the County Manager to execute change orders for the project up to the project <br /> budget. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
