Chief Information Officer Todd Jones said that he does not recall the figure, but it must <br /> not exceed $12,000. He recommended deleting #4 and approving the contract, not to exceed <br /> $12,000. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Gordon, seconded by Commissioner Carey to <br /> approve the contract with Kelly Marcom, with the deletion of#4, for an amount not to exceed <br /> $12,000, and authorize the County Manager to execute the contract pending final review by <br /> staff and the County Attorney. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> Justice Facility Site Lighting Utilities Right-of-Way Agreement with Duke <br /> Energy <br /> The Board considered approving a Right-of-Way Agreement for the installation and <br /> . maintenance of electrical site lighting utilities built to service the Orange County Justice Facility, <br /> and authorizing the Chair to sign; and approving the Service Agreement between Duke Energy <br /> and Orange County for Leased Site Lighting for the Orange County Justice Facility and <br /> authorizing the Purchasing and Central Services Director to sign. <br /> Chair Jacobs asked about the trees and Pam Jones said that this area was in a parking <br /> lot and there were no trees. <br /> A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Nelson to approve <br /> the dedication of Right-of-Way to Duke Energy as presented, contingent upon staff and County <br /> Attorney review, and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of the Board; and approve the <br /> Service Agreement for site lighting; and authorize the Purchasing and Central Services Director <br /> to sign. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> bb. Approval of Solid Waste Operations Center Change Order <br /> The Board considered approving a change order for soils remediation associated with <br /> construction of the Solid Waste Operations Center and authorizing the Manager to sign. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that somebody missed a chronic water saturated soil condition that <br /> will cost about $212,000 to remediate. He assumes that some professional was hired by <br /> Orange County to do a site evaluation. He asked why the taxpayers were paying for this <br /> instead of the contractor. <br /> Purchasing and Central Services Director Pam Jones said that the sub-surface soil had <br /> some problems and those were rectified. The only difference between this change order and <br /> the original was that it would have been included in the original bid. The costs assured by the <br /> architect would have still been in there. The costs are going to be comparable. To have this <br /> recognized as a site issue would not have saved $212,000. <br /> A motion was made by Chair Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Foushee to approve a <br /> change order for soils remediation design changes in an amount not to exceed $212,742; and <br /> authorize the Manager to sign change orders authorizing the work. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> dd. Orange Public Transportation Doing Business as The Orange Bus <br /> The Board considered authorizing Orange Public Transportation (OPT) to do business <br /> as "The Orange Bus" with the re-design of the web site, vehicle color change, and marketing <br /> towards this transition. <br /> Chair Jacobs said that it is unbearably precious to call this The Orange Bus. He likes <br /> OPT just fine, so he wanted the opportunity to vote against it. <br />
