As mentioned by the Manager during the March 19 County Commissioners meeting, the Town of Hillsborough Manager has offered to explore with the County the possibility of developing a limited number of additional parking spaces on Hassell Street to the west of the facility. The County and Town Engineers will dammtine the feasibility of this approach. If deemed advisable, it will be included in the paving bid solicited by the County as an alternate so that we may isolate the met and make an informed decision as to its overall value. The specifications for the paving project are currently being completed and will be submitted for review W the appropriate regulatory agencies very soon. We anticipate that the project may be bid such that an award may be made poor to June 30,2002, The work, estimated to take$046 days,will be completed over the summer. Health Department Clinic Renovation Dr. Rosemary Summers, Health Director identified the need to re-vamp the Hillaborough clinic area some time ago. The project consists of changing the floor plan such that the dient flow will be more ordery, thereby making the operation in general more efficient. It will also address OSHA standards for flooring that can be disinfected in the clinical area (the existing carpet cannot be disinfected). Furher, the renovation will address heretofore-unmet specialized needs, such as the creation of a negative pressure treatment room for TS patients and mom functional pharmacy and lab areas. This project th anticpated to require approximately four-six months to complete. The HVAC replacement project will require that areas be vacated while the ceilings are removed and ductwork is replaced. For this reason, the Clinic renovation was designed to be bid In tandem with that project, although funded separately.
