1 ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: June 27, 2002 Action Agenda Item No. . SUBJECT: Bid Award: Scheduled Roof Replacements DEPARTMENT: Purchasing and Central PUBLIC HEARING: (YIN) No Services & Public Works Department ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam Jones (919) 245-2652 Engineer Letter of Certification Wilbert McAdoo (919) 245-2625 w/Bid Tabulation TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968.4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid for roof replacement pursuant to the annual roof replacement schedule to Owens Roofing, Inc., of Raleigh, NC. BACKGROUND: Several years ago, Orange County contracted with CTL Engineering to evaluate the roofs on all County buildings. The results of the evaluation formed the basis of a schedule of roof replacements. The schedule considers, among other factors, the age and condition of the roof and its likelihood to fail within a given period of time. The schedule contemplates replacement prior to the estimated failure period, thereby eliminating the need to do remedial repairs because of water damage. The County solicits bids for work included under the roof replacement schedule annually. The 2001-2002 replacements include the following: • Animal Control building • Purchasing Building (old metal roof only) • 503 West Franklin Street—Sector 3 • Dickson House and outbuildings Bid Results The bids reflect a very positive change in the bidding climate as compared to our experience in the past several years. The low bid, including all roofs in the project, is $141,398 as submitted by Owens Roofing, Inc., of Raleigh, NC. The engineering estimate for this work was approximately $200,000. Schedule The work will begin upon execution of a contract and will be completed within 90 days. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds for this work are included in the 2001-2011 Capital Investment Plan.
