PUBLIC HEARING YES: NO: XX ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: PAM JONES EXT 2650 BID TABULATIONS Telephone Number - FLOOR PLAN Hillsborough - 732 -8181 PROPOSED CAPITAL PROJECT ORDINANCE Chapel Hill - 967 -9251 Mebane - 227 -2031 Durham -688 -7331 PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid for the expansion of the Animal Shelter; and to consider approving the contracts for construction, contingent upon Attorney and Purchasing Director review. BACKGROUND: The funding for this project was included in the 1988 bond issue. A total of $300,000 was allocated, which included $30,000 for design services and $270,000 for construction and associated expenses. The design fees, site planning through construction, will cost $30,031. It is estimated that items for which the Owner is responsible during construction will cost approximately $5,000. This includes such items as testing of soils, concrete, new water meter from OWASA, etc. Each of these considered, a construction budget of $265,000 remains. On May 24, 1990 bids were taken to add approximately 4300 square feet of additional kennels (24 total kennels), covered vehicle pull -in area for loading /unloading animals, puppy /kitten outside area, and multi- purpose area. The bids totaled $306,201 ($71.21 /sq.ft.); a $41,201 shortfall from the $265,000 construction budget. Negotiation with the low bidders allowed the construction figure to be reduced to $275,885, $10,885 over the alotted construction budget. This allows the construction of 24 kennels, vehicle loading /unloading area, the puppy /kitten area with outside exercise lot, and other areas as indicated on the attached drawing. It does not however, include the multi - purpose area and the parking made necessary by the addition of this room.
