Following approval of the SUP modification, staff from the Purchasing and Solid Waste <br />Departments collaborated to develop detailed specifications that were designed to address <br />Orange Caunty's needs with regard to the buildings. As specified, these consist of: <br />• a steel frame with anti-corrosion treatment <br />• fabric roof system with a 15 year warranty <br />• roll up doors on either end <br />• the ability to roll-up the sides for ventilation <br />• light, fixtures <br />The buildings are designed so that they can be relocated and reused elsewhere at the landfill if <br />future operations for construction and demolition waste handling are conducted on the portion of <br />the site now used for recycling. <br />An extensive search was conducted for potential bidders. Proposals were sent to four vendors. <br />The bid was advertised on the County's Internet Site. One bidder responded to the bid call. <br />Bids were evaluated by staff. Shelters, Inc. of Badin Lake, North Carolina submitted the lowest <br />responsible bid that was responsive at a cost delivered and constructed of $96,291. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total cost of this action, if approved by the Board, would be $96,291. <br />The FY 2000/01 Solid Waste/Landfill Operations budget included an allocation of $98,800 to <br />carry out this project, so there are adequate funds available to cover the award of this bid. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board award the bid to Shelters, <br />Inc. of Badin Lake, North Carolina, in the amount of $96,291; and authorize the Purchasing <br />Director to execute the necessary paperwork. <br />
