J <br /> 2 <br /> At the time of bidding,it was unclear how much of the scope of work could be accomplished with the <br /> appropriated funds. Therefore,certain sections of the work were identified as alternates in order to <br /> provide some flexibility if the bids came in above the funds available. The alternates included: <br /> ► Reusing,rather than replacing some of the lighting fixtures on the first floor, <br /> ► Re-roofing the building; <br /> ► Zoning the HVAC on the first floor and installing a control system which would allow greater <br /> efficiency in energy consumption and cooling capability; <br /> ► Replacing the inadequate HVAC system which serves the upstairs area of the building; <br /> ► Repairing or replacing all storm windows in the building. <br /> The bid amounts are such that the entire scope of work, including all alternates, can be completed <br /> within the funds appropriated(project budget$230,000). <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that bids for the renovation of the Sheriff's <br /> Department be awarded as follows and associated contracts for these amounts be approved contingent <br /> upon attorney and staff review: <br /> General Contractor, Harrod&Associates Construction Co.,Raleigh;$128,480; <br /> Mechanical Contractor; Comfort Engineers,Durham;$48,670;and <br /> Electrical Contractor; Mid-Atlantic Electric Co.,Durham; $24,175;and <br /> further to authorize the County Manager to execute any change orders which may be necessary,as <br /> long as said change orders do not exceed the project budget; and to authorize the Chair to sign <br /> Construction Contracts upon review and approval of the County Attorney and County Staff. <br />
