ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: February 1, 2005 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. ,j-e <br />SUBJECT: Proposal to Deconstruct Abandoned Farmhouse on Former Vincent Property <br />DEPARTMENT: Purchasing/ERCD PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Deconstruction Proposal <br />Proposed Projects to Fund with 2004 Two- <br />Thirds Net Debt Bonds <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Pam Jones, ext 2652 <br />Dave Stancil, ext 2598 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough <br />Chapel Hill <br />Durham <br />Mebane <br />732-8181 <br />968-4501 <br />688-7331 <br />336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider approving a proposal from Pete Hendricks to deconstruct an <br />abandoned farmhouse on recently acquired County property; and to organize the materials <br />recycled from previous deconstruction projects with which he has assisted the County. <br />BACKGROUND: Pete Hendricks has provided a proposal to deconstruct the old farmhouse on <br />the former Vincent property east of and across NC86 from the Northern Human Services Center <br />in Cedar Grove. In addition, he would also provide services to enhance storage of existing, <br />previously stockpiled County deconstruction materials that were acquired through various other <br />County deconstruction projects. <br />Mr. Hendricks proposes to carry out this work for a cost of $1,500 per week ($300/day) for 17 <br />weeks ($25,500), plus $4,000 logistical support costs, to include such expenses as solid waste <br />fees as well as temporary labor to assist in moving the materials. For comparative purposes, <br />Mr. Hendricks did the deconstruction work at the old Orange Industries Building on Tryon Street <br />and two flood-damaged houses in Heritage Hills several years ago at a rate of $350 per day. <br />Mr. Hendricks has provided proof of liability insurance that would cover his exposures on this <br />project. Project management responsibilities will be shared among ERCD, Solid Waste <br />Management Staff, and others as the needs dictate. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: In summer 2004, the County issued two-thirds net debt funding totaling <br />$4.2 million. A list of the proposed projects to be funded from those monies is included as <br />Attachment 2 of this abstract. As outlined on that attachment, staff recommends that $300,000 <br />be allocated to the Northern Human Services Center Renovation Project. Funds to cover the <br />cost of the deconstruction of the old farmhouse would come from the recommended $300,000 <br />allocation. Staff plans an agenda item for the February 15, 2004 BOCC meeting that would
