1 <br /> APPROVED AUGUST 3, 1987 <br /> MINUTES <br /> SPECIAL MEETING <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> JUNE 8, 1987 <br /> 8: 00 a.m. <br /> The Orange County Board of Commissioners met in special session on <br /> Monday, June 8, 1987 at 8: 00 a.m. in the Board of Commissioners Room, <br /> Orange County Courthouse, Hillsborough, North Carolina for the purpose of <br /> awarding the bid for the Efland Cheeks Sewer Project. <br /> BOARD MEMBERS PRESENT: Chair Shirley E. Marshall and Commissioners <br /> Stephen Halkiotis, John Hartwell, and Don Willhoit. <br /> BOARD MEMBER ABSENT: Moses Carey, Jr. <br /> ATTORNEY PRESENT: Geoffrey Gledhill. <br /> STAFF PRESENT: County Manager Kenneth R. Thompson, Assistant County <br /> Managers William T. Laws and Albert Kittrell, Finance Director Gordon <br /> Baker, Clerk to the Board Beverly A. Blythe, Deputy Finance Officer Ken <br /> Chavious and Purchasing Director Pamela Jones. <br /> BID AWARD FOR THE EFLAND-CHEEKS TOWNSHIP SEWER PROJECT (See attached bid <br /> tabulation which is made a part of these minutes) <br /> Ken Thompson reported that the revenues for the Efland Cheeks Sewer <br /> Project had been secured. These revenues will cover the portion of the <br /> line that had to be redesigned for Hillsborough. The total project cost <br /> will be 1.5 million. The total cash available for the project is <br /> 1,571,087 leaving a surplus of $56, 072 . <br /> Thompson noted that there is a "rock clause" in the contract where <br /> the bidders had to take full responsibility for any rock encountered in <br /> the Efland area. This was based on the County providing the contractor <br /> with a survey showing where the rock is located and the amount of rock <br /> present. He stated there should be no change orders due to rock. <br /> Thompson reference the bid tabulation and explained the alternates as <br /> listed on that chart. <br /> Alternate 1 is a force main size of 8" which covers just the flow <br /> that would result from the immediate construction. <br /> Alternates 3 and 4 are sized to accommodate the Efland area as it was <br /> originally planned and option 4 would include additional areas. <br /> Commissioner Hartwell asked about the increased capacity in going <br /> from an 8" pipe to an 10" pipe. <br /> Kevin Carter, Engineer for Hazen and Sawyer, explained that to pump <br /> 535 gallons per minute through an 8" force main requires 167 foot of head <br /> which is the limit that the type pumping system will take. A 10" force <br /> main would drop the flow rate from 535 down to 89 because portions of the <br /> 10" force main would be gravity driven. In power cost there would be a <br /> savings of approximately $26, 000 or $27, 000 over a ten year period. A 12" <br /> line would carry up to 1700 gallons per minute which is what was analyzed <br />
