Kester & Rose, LLC, for the construction of the <br /> Efland Emergency Services Station and Medical Examiner's Review Quarters and approve <br /> Budget Amendment # 10-C; and <br /> 2) Authorize the County Manager to execute the Agreement, subject to final review by the <br /> County Attorney, and any subsequent amendments for contingent and unforeseen <br /> requirements up to the approved budget amount on behalf of the Board. <br /> BACKGROUND: In 2019, the Board approved a contract with the consulting firm Stewart- <br /> Cooper-Newell Architects (SCN) for the development of construction drawings, bid documents to <br /> provide for bid solicitation, and construction bid award for the Efland Emergency Services EMS <br /> Station and Medical Examiner's Quarters. <br /> In February 2022, Orange County published an Advertisement for Bids, and on April 12, 2022, <br /> the County received four (4) sealed bids from General Contractors. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: On April 12, 2022, Orange County received sealed bids to perform <br /> construction on the Efland Substation. Due to high inflation in the construction market, the bids <br /> came in over the project's budget. The total cost to complete the Efland Substation will need to <br /> increase from $4,375,000 to $7,171,409, or by $2,796,409. It is proposed that $1,000,000 be <br /> transferred in pay-as-you-go funding from the Future Capital Needs project and the remaining <br /> $1,796,409 come from additional financing authorization. This amends the following project <br /> budgets in the County Capital Fund, outside of the General Fund. Budget Amendment 11-C <br />
