12 <br /> Chair Bedford said that this would be taken as a petition to include that in the study. <br /> Slide #12 <br /> FY2025-35 Recommended Capital Investment Plan <br /> Environmental Protection and Climate Action <br /> Built Environment and Energy Goals <br /> • Electrical Upgrades $175,787 (p. 60) <br /> — Robert& Pearl Seymour Center-$107,437 <br /> • Add additional lighting and reworklinstall outlets <br /> — Fuel Station- $14,850 <br /> • Full electrical system renovation <br /> — Emergency Services Station 1 -$3,500 <br /> • Update distribution panel <br /> — Energy Efficiency LED Upgrades - $50,000 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> 12 <br /> Chair Bedford said that in year 4, costs go up dramatically for electrical upgrades. She <br /> said there was also an upgrade for the Justice Center in the future, which does not seem to be <br /> necessary given discussions about other Justice Center improvements. <br /> Travis Myren said that any upgrades would be timed with other projects. <br /> Chair Bedford said there is $1.1 million in year six for a full electrical redo at the West <br /> Campus and for the Passmore Center in year seven. She asked what a full electrical redo <br /> includes. <br /> Angel Barnes said a full electrical redo looks at lighting fixtures, breaker panels, <br /> transformers, and automatic or manual switches. She said equipment wears out over time and <br /> this would look at anything from the transformer over. <br /> Chair Bedford said it is like a schedule for replacing roofs. She asked why that is not <br /> needed for residential. <br /> Angel Barnes said it is recommended for commercial buildings. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if it is recommended maintenance. <br /> Angel Barnes said yes. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if it is recommended from a safety perspective or safety <br /> audit. <br /> Angel Barnes said not from a safety audit. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked if they moved it back and verified that there are no safety <br /> issues if there is a requirement to hold to the recommendation. He said he did not believe it <br /> would be necessary. <br /> Chair Bedford said they pay about $55,000 every year for the inspection of roofs and <br /> asked if it is possible that they can adjust and get the electric inspected. <br /> Alan Dorman said if it were a safety issue they would have a different approach but that <br /> it is not at this time. <br />
