BACKGROUND: Sufficient packing at the Whittetl Building continues to be a challenge. The County has recently taken several steps in an attempt to address parking issues, including relocating the Orange Public Transportmon buses off-site and designating lots for public and employee parking (see attached memorandum to employees fmm the Manager). One of the primary mechanisms to maximize existing parking, however, is to pave the lots. Engineering estimates indicate that the number of cars parked can be increased by up to 25% on a paved lot in which the spaces are marked. Specifications were prepared by MANIA Engineers to pave two (2) lots; one at the corner of Tryon and Hassell Sheets and the other which lies tc the east of the Whittetl Building with entry off Tryon Street. Bids were solicited on June 5, 2002,with three responsive bids received. The bids ranged from $60,500 to$99,823 (see attached tabulation). The engineering estimates for this work were in the range of$75,000. The low bid as submitted by False Builders for $60,500 re0ects the current, much improved bid climate and is recommended for award If approved by the Board,Me work would be carried out in July 2002. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds are currently available in the Whined Human Services Capital Project to cover Me cost of the parking improvements outlined in the Background section. The Board approved the appropriation of pay-as-you-go funds to this project in previous fiscal years. REC0MMENDATI0Ni The Manager recommends that the Board award the bid for paving two(2) parking lots at the Whited Building to Pa not Builders in an amount of$60,500; and authorize the Purchasing Director to execute the appropriate paperwork pursuant to the specifications, drawings as prepared by MANIA Engineering, and the bid response dated June 5, 2002 as submitted by Patnot Builders.
