DocuSign Envelope ID:86AA2D69-2618-49CA ABD9 3717E162CF6E <br /> Appendix A— Background and Detailed Scope <br /> Board of Elections Background: The Orange County Board of Elections building <br /> located at 208 South Cameron Street, Hillsborough NC was built in 1968. The location <br /> of this property is within close proximity to the Eno River and within a stream that <br /> feeds into the Eno River. The Board of Elections Building is a one-story building over a <br /> partial day-lighted basement and partial crawlspace. The building has an irregular <br /> footprint measuring approximately 87' x 115'. Originally the basement housed the <br /> HVAC and electrical systems. Due to flooding the HVAC equipment has been relocated <br /> to the attic space and courtyard of the facility, and the electrical distribution has <br /> been relocated to the exterior. Over the past few years there have been multiple floods <br /> within the basement, then over the past year there have been environmental concerns <br /> reported within the facility. Over the past eight months Orange County has replaced <br /> the complete HVAC system, carpet, ceiling systems and remediated all organic growth <br /> found within the facility. The basement is now partially sealed with access outside the <br /> flood plain and (2) commercial dehumidifiers are operating within the <br /> crawlspace/basement to avoid future environmental concerns. <br /> Board of Elections Building Scope (200 S. Cameron Street) <br /> The primary goal of Orange County is to reduce any water intrusion or future flood <br /> damage to the existing facility. This includes the study of the existing <br /> drainage/stormwater management systems, including the runoff that overwhelms the <br /> system during heavy rainfalls. This building is located on an elevation lower than the <br /> existing roadway that provides access to the facility. This scope includes ensuring all <br /> stormwater drains are open and flowing as designed, site grading as required to move <br /> the water to the drainage system and away from the facility and installation of <br /> waterproofing as needed for reduction of water intrusion during future weather <br /> events. The scope would also include ensuring the existing ramp (located at the back <br /> of the facility) is to be removed and backfilled; the sidewalks are reinstalled to meet <br /> accessibility requirements if removal is necessary to correct site grading. All <br /> landscaping shall be restored after all construction is complete. <br /> Richard E. Whitted Complex Background: The Whitted Building Complex is <br /> located in Hillsborough at 300 & 302 West Tryon Street. The oldest sector of this <br /> complex was constructed in 1922, with additions in 1936 and 1957. The complex <br /> was acquired by Orange County in 1975. Orange County perform significant <br /> renovations during 2002-2004, included replacement of HVAC system, 2012 included <br /> Health medical and dental clinic spaces, and 2014 for creation of a new Board of <br /> County Commissioners' meeting space and related services. The "A" and "B" buildings <br /> house the Orange County Health administrative offices, Health and Dental clinic space <br /> and Housing and Community Development departments. Major components of the <br /> HVAC system also serve the Central Recreation building which includes a gymnasium. <br /> Significant renovations for this facility occurred during 2002-2004, including <br /> replacement of HVAC system. An accessible entrance was constructed in 2007. <br /> All three facilities have shared parking, sidewalks, utilities, and stormwater <br /> management. This complex currently needs the necessary site and storm water <br /> management improvements to the rear of the Richard E. Whitted Complex, including <br />
