PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid and approving a contract for the construction of the Saddle Club Road
Convenience Center to Burlington Mechanical Contractors, Inc., Graham, NC.
BACKGROUND: Planning for the Saddle Club Road Solid Waste Convenience Center has been in the process
for the past year. The project was bid on June 13, 1995. As reflected in the attached tabulation, the bids
ranged from $151,290 to$259,000.
Pjr�ojject cost summa is as follows:
Li" '. `:' :>;: <? 5'2 ' £% '...:3s1:';::::;':;:':

Construction Contract/Burlington Mechanical $151,290.00

The total anticipated project cost is about $60,000 higher than projected in the 1995-2000 Capital
Improvements Plan,due in large part to the generally unfavorable construction market at this time. Sufficient
funds are available in the CIP to complete construction and implementation of the Saddle Club Road site.
However,if the County accepts this bid,there would not be sufficient 1995-96 funds remaining to construct any
further solid waste convenience centers,without reallocation of funds from other projects.
Staff will be sharing the bid results with the Orange County Solid Waste Committee at its June 22 meeting.
Comments from the Solid Waste Committee will be related to the Board of Commissioners at the June 26
meeting. It may be prudent to postpone a decision to award the Saddle Club Road construction bid until the
August 3 meeting to allow staff to consider Solid Waste Committee and Commissioner comments in evaluation
our options for proceeding with the solid waste convenience center program. Construction bids received on
June 13 are valid for 60 days,so delay of the bid award decision to August 3 is an available option.
RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board postpone a bid award decision until
August 3,and provide staff with comments about the bids for the Saddle Club Road site.
