PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid to Tommy Lawrence Electrical Contractors of Roxboro,
North Carolina for installing outdoor lighting at the Walnut Grove Church Road Solid Waste
Convenience Center.
BACKGROUND: In April of 2007, the County completed construction to expand the Walnut
Grove Church Road Solid Waste Convenience Center in order to provide expanded services
due to the closing of the Highway 57 site. Lighting for the expansion was not included in the
construction in April in order to expedite the site's completion. Time is now of the essence as
days become shorter and the center cannot be operated safely without proper lighting.
Gary Merritt, a lighting PE, developed specifications for this project. Developed plans were
submitted to the County Planning Department and approved for style of lighting fixtures and light
containment on site. Approval was based on compliance with County Code of Ordinances Sec.
50 -167 through 172. A bid call was advertised on the County website and sent to seven
contractors. Bids were received on September 13, with two bidders responding. A tabulation of
the bids is attached and Tommy Lawrence Electrical Contractors of Roxboro, North Carolina
submitted the lowest responsible bid that was responsive at a total cost of $26,722.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total cost, if approved by the Board, would be $26.722. Funds are
available in the FY2007/08 Solid Waste Management Department Budget to fund this
expenditure.
RECOMMENDATION (S): The Manager recommends that the Board award a bid to Tommy
Lawrence Electrical Contractors of Roxboro, North Carolina for an amount not to exceed
$26,722; and authorize the Purchasing Director to execute and sign paperwork as may be
required.
