Award the bid and, upon County Attorney review, execute the construction contract for <br /> the Fairview Park Parking Expansion Project during the summer break in an amount not <br /> to exceed the project budget; <br /> 2. Approve project change orders for the project up to the project budget; and <br /> 3. Approve a resolution to preserve the County's ability to reimburse itself for initial project <br /> costs from financing proceeds that may become available. <br /> BACKGROUND: The County's Fairview Park opened in 2011, funded by a combination of <br /> 2001 voter-approved bonds, a grant from the NC Parks and Recreation Trust Fund (PARTF), <br /> and payment-in-lieu funds. Because of site limitations (the northern portion of the site is the <br /> former Town of Hillsborough landfill, predating current-day landfill regulations), the park design <br /> and ultimate construction was focused on the southern portion of the property. Park facilities <br /> include a baseball/softball field, tennis courts, playground, picnic shelter with restrooms, <br /> basketball courts, walking track, volleyball courts and a trail connecting to the Town Police <br /> substation on Rainey Avenue, and a parking lot. <br />
